She is more precious than rubies
Jul. 13th, 2011 02:58 amCiro is back and his toothbrush is back and he brought me a purse full of old foreign coins (from his mother) and a small chest full of rubies (yes, real ones*, from Merlin) and jars full of garlic pickles (from Ed and Ash). It is as though he has returned from a South Seas trading journey.
* They were lab-created, so nobody had to make a deal with warlords or blow up mountains. Apparently some federal security agents took some convincing that they were domestically made and not smuggled in. I don't know why Merlin got me them other than we can appreciate together that they are awesome, both in jewelry and in their applications in lasers. I will have to commission a jeweler to set them properly, although not until the film's paid off. Not that I expect to find the right jeweler sooner than that. (oh lalique. why were you not immortal?) Anyway, I am now too fancy for words; I am a lady who owns a casket of rubies. The dragon-like part of me thinks I should not set them, but should pile them with my various other treasures and perch on them while I sleep.
