[ She can’t help a soft, sad laugh at that, pulling back a bit to look up at him as she wipes her eyes under her glasses. ]

I came to check up on you…I didn’t mean to make you comfort me.

[baron_badass]

[He smiles at her though the spark of it doesn't reach his eyes]

It's happened before....and sometimes comforting another pulls me out of my own head.

[anything_grows]

[ She sees the at the smile doesn’t quite reach, and she frowns a little. ]

But you deserve to grieve too. And I know I can’t do much to help, but…I’m here if you need it.

[baron_badass]

And I am grateful for that. Grief of any kind isn't easy for me to deal with but knowing you and Scanlan and Tary are here will help.

[anything_grows]

[ Willow nods, but she still wishes she can do something to help. ]

Is it…okay if I stay here with you for a while?

[ She could understand if he preferred to be alone right now, but… ]

[baron_badass]

Of course...you can help me.

I am trying to make Essek and Caleb a wedding gift but struggling with what to make.

[He nodded at the now cool mold on the workbench]

That is the newest attempt over there.

[anything_grows]

[ With a small smile, Willow nods and hops up onto the extra chair, looking over the mold. ]

What is it?

[baron_badass]

An astrolab...but I can't find a metal flexible enough to make the more delicate parts

[Percy sighs in frustration]

I tried wedding rings as well. but then I didn't want to assume they would do those. Wedding customs are different across Exandria I figure an astrolab might be welcome most wizards have them.

[anything_grows]

Maybe you could ask them if they have want rings.

But what’s an astrolab?

[baron_badass]

I've been meaning to do that and time has gotten away from me.

[He smiles slightly]

An astrolabe is a device that uses altitude to measure both time and the stars. Ships captains use them for navigation and wizards sometimes use them to measure time by the stars,..that helps with ritual magic. So like a star watch.

[anything_grows]

Oh, so kind of like a star chart? Okay. [ She looks over the mold again, thinking. ] Do you know Blake? She works in a forge where they make weapons. Maybe they might have something there that could help?

[baron_badass]

No I don't but I am always open to meeting another metal worker.

[Another smile]

Sharing ideas is an important aspect of any inventor's work no matter what materials they work with.

[anything_grows]

[ Returning the smile, Willow nods. ] I bet they'd be able to help out there. I can reach out to her if you want, or I can give you her contact info.

[baron_badass]

Please do....I believe in sharing ideas.

[anything_grows]

[ With a nod, she pulls out her device to send Blake's information to Percy. ] I'll try to let her know too, so maybe you guys can get in touch.
