[quote]Akari claimed the enhanced weapon from Eblana. It was a great honor for her, enhancing her weapon as a ninja. She inspected the blade and linked it to herself with ki. Feeling tremendous power inhabited her blade. It made her happy. She unsheathed her scabbard and hid her big shuriken. Approached Eblana, put both her palms on the female elven cheeks, and kissed her. It was her deepest token of gratitude for her. Akari smiled on her with a gentle look.[/quote] Despite her focus, Eblana was perceptive enough when someone was invading her personal space, but verily! A scholar's reaction time was no match for the ninja's nimble moves, so when Akari managed to get her cheek, the kiss was all but unavoidable. Eblana seemed to be frozen on the spot, wondering if she should slap her or remain indifferent about it. Too flustered to be either angry or stoic, the blonde elf calmly got up from her seat, face red beet as she withdrew without making eye contact with Akari. Palms on both cheeks, mumbling something about [i]why, how, and what?[/i] [color=fff79a][i][b]"Fuuuu!"[/b] [/i][/color] There were no words exchanged as Eblana curled herself on the reading desk northeast of the room, burying her face in a random grimoire in sheer embarrassment that only got worse the more she thought about it. ___ [quote][color=6ecff6]"Thank you for humoring my request. The elders might indeed notice... They are strangely perceptive when the matter is anything I shouldn't have or shouldn't do... Regardless, I might be able to just talk my way out. These are my hair accessories, after all."[/color] Miwa said with a slight bow and a mischievous wink to both Vesemir and Eblana. [color=6ecff6]"Please take your time, I will be right over there if you need me."[/color] she said with a smile, having noticed that Akari did not hesitate in giving Vesemir and Eblana quite the workload.[/quote] [color=#F4E7CA]"Splendid! This will do just fine! And if they somehow make a fuss about it, kindly tell them that Vesemir Barandir will bear the responsibility for it! Hahahaha!" [/color] When Miwa playfully winked and bowed at them. Eblana was already a steaming, beet-red, flustered mess. Vesemir wondered what had happened, but couldn't get anything from his secretary. So he shrugged, being oblivious, he was. [color=#F4E7CA]"Oh, what happened? Well, maybe she is just tired?" [/color] Now it was up to Vesemir to finish the job. Before securing it somewhere safe, the elf studied the hairband. It was a delicate craft and he had to pay more attention when enchanting it. Rezello's spadone was next. Obviously, the length couldn't be properly accommodated by the limited space the enchanting table has, so Vesemir had to be clever with it. He placed the end of the blade at the enchantment socket, and he held the blade by its ricasso before buffing the hilt with his enchanting basalt. The spell was cast, and slowly the runes that were already engraved in that sword glowed dim. He maintained the process for roughly twenty minutes, and there was nothing else notable that happened to the enchanted weapon until he deemed it finished, as if the spell itself knew the need to be more subdued. Or was it because of the weapon itself? This irregularity needs to be written in his notebook. It was the same deal as any other when he dealt with Miwa's hairband and Verdant's sword. Though the sword gave him a little more ominous feeling. It accepted the engraving with a more sinister twist on it; Shrive. Sunder. Sever, those are literal translations of the runewords implanted near the crossguard, and the glow was sickly green. It seems each weapon attained some sort of... personality after enchanting? These anomalies were new to him. The second batch was complete, and Vesemir announced it proudly. Since Verdant and Miwa were not present, he took his time examining Rezello's spadone, admiring the existing details and feeling satisfied that the enchantment had enhanced it. [color=#F4E7CA]"All done, Master Rezello."[/color] He said, respectfully holding the blade with both hands and presenting it to the masked knight.[color=#F4E7CA]"May it serve you well!"[/color]
