After ordering her food and drink, Minerva locked eyes with the gem knight once more.

[color=peru]“I was kidding, by the way,”[/color] she commented cheekily, ensuring that bad ideas weren’t left unchecked. Then again, Minerva would have likely tried to forcibly remove the shard from Corin if he gave her the green light to do so. [color=peru]“But these little trinkets would have done something by now, right? It could just be a pretty little blemish to walk away with. Proof that you fought fearlessly under Wendel’s leadership. You failed to keep us from crashing, but we’re in a good spot.”[/color] 

Downplaying a crash landing into the Lhaazar Principalities and being at the mercy of pirates couldn’t have been downplayed any worse, but what else was there? No one at the table seemed to have anything new to say about the shard, outside the fact that everyone in their group seemed to have one. As curious as she was about the thing embedded in her neck, she felt she could wait on the account of it being just like Eleanor—pretty and boring. 

Not wanting to wait too idly, Minerva fished for her journal, but instead of writing on a fresh page, she began sketching. [color=peru][i]Phia… Phia, Phia, Phia, Phia.[/i][/color] The name repeated in her mind as she drew a small, silly-looking caricature of the Half-Elf’s face.
