There was probably some saying about the dangers of accepting faerie gifts... but giving them was just as bad, nothing says<em>enticement</em>like free stuff. Fortunately for Orchid, once the group left, Fyr was almost certainly to find enough to keep her occupied for the forseeable future. As it was, she gleefully opened her gift, and produced a small shallow bowl wrought of a red jade, with a strangely flared base. After eyeing the strange item for a moment, realization clicked<br/><br/>"Oh! A Skin-Mount Amulet! I read about these... Always wanted one, but I could never find one for sale, Red too. Perrfect. Thank you Orchid, if I didnt already plan to see this through, I certainly would now. I just need to find someone to implant it....." she gave the rest of the room a big Predatory grin, her teeth just a touch too sharp to be normal... no wait, it was a trick of the light, of course they were normal... "Anyone here good at surgery?" she asked in the exact same tone one might use for 'I'd like my steak raaaaare'.<br/><br/>A idea seemed to catch her off guard, and her gaze slid back to Orchid, expression mischievous "I hate to say this, after you were so nice as to shower us with presents, Buuuut. If the Confederation decided to do this on its own, for perfectly good reasons, and the Realm wanted to stop it without looking like they had a direct hand in it, maybe because they cant afford a war just now with the Empress missing... this would be a excellent way to do it. Then tragic betrayal, we were the bad guys all along!"<br/><br/>"...Just a thought." she added innocuously.
