"Duly noted."

...was that hot? He wasn't entirely sure, to be completely honest. And... really, that was the answer he had been hoping for, more than anything else. So he'd go ahead and take a biscuit, then.

"Well, the former is definitely something I want, so we'll limit things to that. There's very little I wouldn't do to regain my abilities, so I'm open to whatever terms you'd provide."

[fairyfoes]

She smiled, more boldly now. "In that case, the process is... quite simple. I have a number of contacts, both criminal and more legitimate, who can provide the necessaries: what I propose is that I act on your behalf in these circles, for a finder's fee, to procure the items which would grant you the sum of your old abilities... or more, should it be within your means. What I would recommend for ease of use would be ancient boons from slain shardbearers; often magical ability was imparted in materials, gems, metals, and so forth. For our purposes, they would need to meet certain specifications: small, easily sterilised, not harmful to the biomes on the interior of the human body, and so forth. Once these are collected and modified as necessary, I would use the work of a smith and the skills of prosthetics surgeon ex-shardbearer to fashion a biological lattice which could be implanted subdermally."

She paused, forked tongue flicking. "Paper thin, ideally. Such a lattice would diffuse these nodes of magical power, make it effectively impossible to pinpoint their location within you, protecting you against the same harm which occurred earlier. Ideally along the front of the ribcage, I would imagine. The efficacy of this device and its return of your power could easily be tested before implantation to assure you of its quality and... efficacy."

,,,well, he absolutely couldn't say no to that, could he? It... wasn't the same, certainly...

"I imagine that couldn't be passed on an inheritance, then..." he said, sounding perhaps a bit down. "Well, I suppose I've already made my peace with that end of things, and that sounds absolutely perfect otherwise. And, well... I am in a position where I stand to make a reasonable amount of money, so I certainly wouldn't object to paying you more to push things a little further."

[fairyfoes]

"No; but another could be made, if necessary. Expanded upon." Her lashes lowered over her dark eyes, assessing him behind the veil they made.

She smiled, slowly. "Very well. You need only inform me when to begin. I'll have a contract putting the details we just discussed into print, just as a formality for our records."

[enjoymyatelier]

"...well, then, there's absolutely nothing I can complain about," said Kayneth, smirking a bit eagerly. "I've already got a bit of gold set aside, so we can begin as soon as you have that contract ready. Of course, I reserve the right to read it carefully before signing on, but..."

...he could have literally everything back the way it was. It would be a little different, granted, but...

[fairyfoes]

Her smile grew, and she moved to stand, extending her hand for his.

"I'll have it delivered to your offices on the morrow, of course, and await your word. I'll admit, I'm looking forward to the project."

[enjoymyatelier]

"As am I, but that was likely easy to guess," said Kayneth with a smile as he went to go ahead and shake on it. "I'd hope that you can keep me updated, but I'll certainly understand if that proves impractical for various reasons."

[fairyfoes]

"You needn't fret on that account," she purred, very nearly a tease. "I'll provide updates by the fortnight. As they say in Treun, the only thing a mercenary's better at than battling to the finish... is accounting."

[enjoymyatelier]

"Good, good," said Kayneth, trying not to seem a bit thrown off by that almost tease. "Well, I look forward to them, then... I'll have the contract signed and sent to you as soon as possible."
