When Verula had opened shop today, the one thing she hadn't expected was a summons from one of the royals. She'd been just about to start up the furnaces when the slave had arrived with the message that the prince wanted to see her about a project. Intrigued, she picked up Laxi to lay across her shoulders as she closed up for the day. Depending on the project, this could be a several day project so she grabbed her satchel bag and one over her thicker sketchbooks as well as her sketching implements. Items gathered and shop closed, she gestured for the slave to lead on and she followed him.

She was definitely surprised, and honored, when she was led to the Prince's own workshop. Laxi, who'd been calmly resting along her shoulders, lifted up her little glass head and gave a small yawn as she perked up to look around with her little glass eyes.

"Good morning, your highness." She bowed her head slightly, careful to not tip Laxi on to the floor as she did so.

Akagi was beaming when @verula was brought to him, "Good morning! Good morning, welcome to my shop," Akagi was off his stool and putting his tools down as he made over to Verula with arms clasped behind his back, "I apologize if it's not tidy Verula Lidayne," in fact other than his small work space his workshop was extremely clean and organized. Walls were lined with a vast collection of enchantments old and new, weapons, and a cabinet that contained empty soul gems.

"Thank you for seeing me so promptly, I have a request and I feel... No I know ... You are the one for the job. Would work with me on something?"

She hadn't pulled off her satchel as she glanced around the prince's workshop before bringing her gaze back to the man. If this was what he considered untidy then he might be uncomfortable in her own workshop as her organization didn't exactly match with what others would consider organized. "It's of no problem, sir. We all have our own methods of organizing our workspaces. What is the project you have in mind? Pardon my saying but you don't seem to be one that is usually interested in glass work based on your tools."

On her shoulder, Laxi lifted up its head to look around, tilting its head this way and that.

"Oh I love them all young @verula ! I've yet to find a enchantment that hasn't blown my mind...except this young man who once tried to pass sliced bread off as an advancement in Enchanted ingunity. And this isn't necessarily foooor me," the prince clapped his hands as he pulled out his own sketch pad where he flipped to a page tabbed by a yellow sticky piece of paper. It was a collection of his sketches of a dwarf bunny as they were titled, "While I'm going to be back and forth from here to Nevermere, I'll mostly be seeing to duties here for the most part so I was wondering if we could do a glasswork dwarf bunny enchantment...well two...a pair...one for me and one for Princess Althea my betrothed," he looked and sounded like a fool in love when he said her name, "But perhaps they could be a communication of sorts for us, that covers a great distance!"

Verula gave a small snort at the person who tried to pass off sliced bread as an enchantment. Whatever that guy was on, she didn't want it, not at all. She set her bag down and stepped a little closer to look over the sketches he'd already worked out for the shape. Starting to toss a couple ideas around in her head, she pulled out one of her smaller sketchbooks and a charcoal pencil. "So long distance communication, think I've got an array I can build off for that one somewhere. Was there a color scheme you were thinking of, and are you wanting something solid or more of a hollow glass? Both are durable, one of the enchantments I work into all of my glass arrays."

Akagi was very excited and he took to 'sitting' (he was squatted on his feet in the seat with graceful balance) in a bar stool chair his arms around his legs.

"Solid, I'd like for them to be solid. Hers a soft, dusty pink, it's her favorite color and my favorite color to see on her cheeks because it's beautiful like a evening sunset," he was beaming with pride, thinking about his princess, "She loves dwarf bunnies, so I'd like mine to be matching but a royal purple in color!"

Laxi tilted its little head to the side and opened its mouth in a silent chitter, sound not being icluded in the array that its human had created it with. Of course, its human did not hear it as it was silent but Verula did reach up to rub under its chin as proper to the little dragon. However, the little dragon was much more curious about the funny human perched on the stool. Stretching and then standing on top of its creator's shoulders, Laxi readied itself to pounce only to be caught around the middle. Its mouth opened in a silent squawk.

"Laxi, no."

Verula had felt the glass dragon shift on her shoulder so out of reflex, her hand went up to catch the glass construct and just in time. Keeping one hand on the dragon she kept her focus on the prince.

"Those colors are doable though the pink isn't a common one I've worked with so I'll do a few samples for you tonpick from on the pink."

The prince had missed everything she had said his attention is fully on the glass dragon. Even his mouth hung wide open as his focus had turned to the little thing she had called Laxi, "That is amazing! And beautiful! Can it breath fire?? Does it fly? What does it do? Is it just a companion? Laxi you are an amazing enchantment!"
