Eirians reaction was clearly not as enthustiastic as the one Carmelita received in most quarters. Apparently the girl was neither bound to cheap lewdness, nor exotic sights... something rare in Absalom.<br/><br/>"Actually I'm only part time working here... but my time off is mostly filled with study and research." she stated matter of factly. There just wasn't much time nor interest left for "simple pleasures". After all, the same time and enthusiasm could be invested in some fasinating project or another. Thus it should be fairly obvious, that the young half-elf wasn't exactly a party animal.<br/><br/>"Well, it would be rather easy to enchant a smaller mirror. Best would probably be to use a prestidigitation spell for the clean, an unshattering or flexibility spell to make sure it doesn't break, and a magical light spell which can be turned on and off... the major drawback would be the price though. I doubt anyone would be willing to pay for such a travelling gadget, as the spells while minor, are not cheap." she helpfully explained, only hinting at the probable obstacle of Carmelitas level of wealth.<br/><br/>"Well as far as I have found out, it's named "the bawdy bards lewd lute" and yes, the enchantements are as convoluted as the name. While the instrument does seem to give some benefits to its user, it also holds at least two curses. One is to befall any male musician playing it, the other directed at any, erm young lady with ... experience ... in the lutes métier. I've not completely unravelled that one yet, so I'd suggest staying away from it." she said.<br/><br/>Tilting her head thinking, she even stood up quickly. "On second thought I'd probably better move it out of the public area and continue my research on it somewhere safer." and she crossed the distance to the pedestal, carefully taking the instrument from its resting place without touching the strings. With a few more steps she vanished shortly behind a curtain besides which a sign stated "adults only".
