and then.. then the whisper gives out

Eyes narrow. "Cruel."

Earl notices this and winces.

Clem says "Well, cantrips don't go on forever"

"Nay... what is cruel is how she was bullied."

Clem shrugs "Zara, we'll always have our warts. We try to get better every generation, but history is a different country with it's own culture"

"I understand, of course..."

"But that doesn't make it right even then" Earl mutters

Clem gives a sad nod shrug

"Gluminsky would desire this."

"Good point... we should see what he might ah, trade for it? Though obviously you'd be the one to handle that sort of negoation, a non sluagh suggesting such might just come across as..crass" He admits

"I do not wish to give it to him."

Earl smiles "Even better then. "

Clem nods "I did say it was all yours, the whole box if you like"

"True." She slips the locket into a pocket, to hold it close.

"Thanks, Clem. " Earl says

"Oh, Earl, it's not like we were using it, sides... I'm eager to see your painting of those kids done in full."

A nod from him, "Definitely"

With Earl as her gallant porter, Zara takes these treasures, particularly the powder box and the locket... back to her room in Earth Runes where she may sort though them in detail And yes, she might return and querry Hearth Agnes for a history lesson about a Spinster
