"How surprising." Carmelita replied in a deadpan tone when the half-elf mentioned studying and research as off time activities. A faint mix of boredom and annoyance crossed her features when the shop worker began explaining the process of enchanting the mirror, inconvenience, and prohibitive pricing. Her features lightened when she mentally reminded herself that the girl had no way of knowing that she was adept with magic but oh, the assumptions...<br/><br/>She did away with that last flash of bother when the young woman switched to talking about the lute and for a moment, she was genuinely interested. She didn't quite understand what<em>lutes métier</em>meant either, but the context gave her a few ideas. The musetouched girl mulled on that for a moment until the employee decided to move the instrument to an "adults only" area. She quirked her brow at that as the girl looked like she still had a bit of growing to do, herself. "Maybe you shouldn't..." She paused, "Oh, what do I care?"<br/><br/>Instead of waiting around for the research-minded lass to return, she decided to pull a flyer for her troupe from her bag and a quill to write, "<em>Looks can be deceiving. ~C</em>" on it. That done, she whispered a quick spell in Celestial to leave the item glowing and floating in the air just above the counter before she turned and started to head out.
