Poking his head into Zolya's workshop to drop off a medallion Raudd he could hear his sister grumbling and before he could manage to get past the doorway the words [color=#018c3b][b]"Fuck, you are so annoying!"[/b][/color] were yelled through the room. Obligated to respond [color=#0050ff][b]"What can I say, I do try my best."[/b][/color] He retorted jokingly. Taking the moment of silence as Zolya began processing that Raudd had just walked in at exactly the wrong moment, Raudd walked up to her desk and placed a silvery white medallion the rim of which was set with small gemstones of mottled red with orange and pink streaks through them.

[color=#018c3b][b]"Thank you, and that wasn't directed at you. This is the annoying one."[/b][/color] She said pointing with her pencil to a glass bell filled with a sample of Yue's crimson haze. [color=#0050ff][b]"You know I can't see whatever you are pointing at, but..."[/b][/color] His words getting cut off by the haze sending an angry spark across the glass. [color=#0050ff][b]"... That I could see, that's not normal isn't it?"[/b][/color] [color=#018c3b][b]"Yeah, her haze seems to be a little extra. She really isn't in a great place mentally, today may have just been the icing on the cake."[/b][/color] [color=#0050ff][b]"Then I wasn't the only one getting that feeling, anyways if you need me I'll be in the kitchen..."[/b][/color]

Zolya's mind drifted for a moment to a certain organisation, given that apparently this rather unstable mage has been up top in that state without any mages making an attempt at correcting that situation. Putting those annoying thoughts aside to deal with a more direct annoyance she returned to creating the finishing touches and dialing in the design. It was proving to be a rather tricky design especially with a little future proofing to ensure that the synchronization wasn't going to be off key once her mental state stabilized more.

After a lot more cursing, out loud thinking, and a broken penciltip, Zolya felt satisfied enough with the design to progress to putting it onto the medallion. Working around the constraints of time pressure forcing her to an unengraved medallion, materials that can withstand the users powers, and still make it look presentable she has to wear it to make it work it's magic after all.

Meanwhile the biggest question that lingered in the kitchen was on how many heads would be at the dinner table... And if Alex would be one of them. Considering that worst case scenario he'd overestimate the amount of mouths to feed, he'd be eating it for multiple days, Raudd figured it wouldn't hurt to just make it big enough. It would only make dicing the veggies and mushrooms take a little longer after all.
