I understand you were responsible for the sunlight protection jewellery Astarion wears. I'd like to understand your technique and am willing to pay for your time. Learning via experimentation is too risky here, given the consequences. I have no intention of selling it, nor making it for anyone but Astarion. I only want to be sure someone else knows should you leave the city again.
Anyway, what kind of name is 'Hope' and why would he ever trust yet another stranger instead of learning for himself? It isn't paranoia if people are, in fact, out to get you!! ]
Very well, as you prefer. Have you ever applied the enchantment to something other than jewellery?
yes actually! i can't take credit for the idea, that came from the guy who wanted it. but i charmed ink, and put it into a tattoo for a friend of mine he was worried the city might take his jewellery from him, which in fairness, they do sometimes tattoos are harder to take off.
in theory i could enchant anything, i just tend to use jewellery because it's long-lasting and the charm's only as strong as the thing holding it. gemstones work really well. those tight, crystalline structures especially in diamonds. anyway, starting to ramble. had you a material in mind?
[ With all the internal lack of patience pressed down, because this man is being helpful and knows nothing about Wrathion so he should try to be nice: ]
I usually use gemstones, but aim to enchant all the windows in our house. Should he lose his jewellery or find the enchantment abruptly ends I'd prefer to be sure the house is still safe. No accidents that way. I expect it to be possible, but I was curious if you had tried before and noted any consequences.
[ Talk of magic and its possibilities tends to make Nate energetic.
He's so sorry. ]
it shouldn't end, i mean the enchantments i made before didn't stop when i left
but regardless, it's a good idea. glass would work the only thing is i'd recommend pairing it with some sort of strengthening charm, to stop it from shattering
[ Is there even a way to reject additional help that doesn't make him look unfriendly? Kalecgos' voice eternally sounds in his head suggesting he makes friends. Why is one friend not enough! ]
I am aware of strengthening techniques, but more options wouldn't hurt. What time were you thinking?

I don't doubt it's a strong enchantment, but I'd rather be as safe as possible given Astarion will suffer for any of our miscalculations.
When would you have time to show me?

[ let's not talk about what his social life isn't. ]
i'll help find other enchantments to weave in and make the glass take it better too

The shop would be better. Obsidian, in the Up. Perhaps 6:30, a little after closing?
