[ Ever since the Red Gate, in between moments they've spent together, Lapis has been hard at work on something.
She's not said a word of it to Jinwoo of what it could be, which may make it obvious that it's for him, but it's definitely related to some of the Essence Stones she collected before they left. Said it would make a good "ore" for what she had in mind, but she would immediately clam up when asked what it would be for.
So she drafted and crafted and used all the skills she's learned over the last couple of years at the forge to create something she's proud of. Something that she hopes will help him in the future. And when it's finally done... Well, she needs to think of the best way to give it to him.
Except she's terribly awkward and terribly nervous about this. It's the first time she's made... anything like this, and there's the lingering fear that it won't be enough. That she needs to do better.
So one afternoon, when it's just the two of them, Lapis will plop herself next to him on the couch and hold a rather hefty wooden box out to him - ignore how her tail is twumping nervously against the floor, she's totally fine! ]
Here, this... I've been meaning to make this for a while, and I finally had the material and skill to do it.
[ When Jinwoo opens the box he'll find a particular dagger, crafted from Essence Stone and dabbled in whites and purples, resting against the velvet lining. Rather than the simple accessories she's made before, it's clear this is a weapon he can wield.
And while Lapis does wait for his reaction, she also can't stop herself from just... rambling. For a moment. ]
I, ah, managed to imbue it with a regeneration ability, so it should heal you really quick! There's also a telekinetic ability and I added some light element to it so it can allow you to create mirages too. And the gems I've attached should help you move faster and hit harder...
[ And she quickly notices what she's doing, her cheeks immediately flushing red as she ducks her head down. ]
