[Aurora is humming softly, weaving sprigs of evergreen together, a little bird handing her berries or plants, several squirrels, rabbits, and chipmunks holding twigs or pinecones but she's honestly surrounded by all sorts of animals in her home. A giant fire is going in her fireplace, the whole room gives off a feeling of warmth.]

Al...most.... done. [She held out her hand for a pinecone, the chipmunk handing it to her.] Aaand there.

[She held up the wreath.]

It may not be a traditional Evergreen Yule Wreath, but it is rather lovely.

The dried oranges were an excellent idea. [She said as she turned to look at the giant Eurasian Eagle-owl perched on the back of her chair.] Thank you for the suggestion, Vivek.

If anyone else would like, I have plenty enough to make more wreaths, especially as the solstice is almost here! Thought they may be much more traditional than this. Or, if you would like to imbue it with your own home's warmth and protection, I can show you how to make one.

[ Amy's eyes light up. ] Yes, I think those would be perfect! A wreath with those would look really nice.

[beautyrest]

Then a snowdrop wreath you shall have.

[pricklybloom]

[ She claps her hands together. ] Thank you so much!

Is there somewhere we can meet so I can pick it up? How much do I owe you?

[beautyrest]

You may come to my cottage near the woods, if you like? And... Oh! I had not considered payment, in truth.

[pricklybloom]

Sure, that sounds fine! If you don't mind sending me the address, I can find my way over.

Really? You should definitely get some kind of compensation at least! Work this lovely deserves something in return.

[beautyrest]

I've never been paid for things I've created before, I would not know what is a fair price to ask for.

[pricklybloom]

Hmm... [ She considers how much she'd seen wreaths like that back home, and tries to convert the price to what she knows of the currency here. ] Well, a fancy wreath like that should be worth at least 10,000G, I think.

[beautyrest]

10,000G? Oh my goodness! You don't think that is too expensive? Would others even be willing to pay such a price for a wreath?

[pricklybloom]

I don't think so! At least it shouldn't be, if I'm doing the conversion right. [ She probably is...although money isn't necessarily an important thing in her world thanks, Sega, so it could be a bit different here. ]

I think on a lower end, maybe 6000G?

[beautyrest]

[Aurora never HAD currency so she has no idea what her father's currency is worth compared to Avalon.]

Mnn, well, that may be more reasonable. Yes, alright, 6000G would be alright. Though outside of a few people, no one has asked for them.

[pricklybloom]

Really? That's too bad. People are really missing out.

[ Maybe she could help spread the word... ]

But I'm more than happy to be a customer! Would you prefer the payment now, or wait until I pick it up?

[beautyrest]

Now would be best in case I need to buy more materials.

[pricklybloom]

Sure, no problem!

[ Just give her a second, and - DING! ]

There you go! Payment's all sent.

[beautyrest]

[Aurora looks at the payment and nods, smiling, staring at it for a bit.]

Thank you... [It's strange, this sensation of amazement to being paid for something like this as she just enjoys making these and it had such warm memories for her. And she's being paid for it now too.]

Think this is a good place to wrap, or do we want to keep going?

[pricklybloom]

You're welcome! I can't wait to see when it's finished.

Wrap is good

[beautyrest]

Until then! Thank you for your patronage.
