Listening with small, black ears pricked, Priscilla felt her cheeks flush with heat, but she tried not to give any sign of it. instead she listened to Miriam's criticism, and responded with a resolute nod. She watched as the Tatzelwurm boasted hero jewelled cloak, eyes narrowing with thought and a slight spark of something unpleasant. The feeling surprised her a bit. Was it... Jealousy?

Oh, no! That would never do!

Priscilla shook her head, struggling to dispel the feeling and instead turned her mind to the matter at hand. Miriam seemed to be offering her help!! And with the guidance of such a majestic creature, she couldn't possibly fail, right? "Yes," Priscilla said at length. "Perhaps. But..." She paused, looking thoughtfully at Miriam's garments. Her voice carried a trace of longing, but she fought to keep it steady. "It compliments you wonderfully. Could we ever find something that does that for me?"

She turned her focus to the gem shard Miriam still held, and twitched her whiskers in thought. "Would they not be... Too much?" she asked doubtfully. "If I covered myself with them, you might find yourself looking at the gems and not at me!" she paused thoughtfully. Then she looked tentatively at Miriam. "Who is it? What will they do?"

@miriam

Miriam tittered. "Cover yourself? Oh, goodness, no! That's too crude a solution for your problem, and you're most certainly right about too many being a distraction. I was thinking of something more delicate—highlight you, not bury you in gorgeous things."

"Now, I've a friend in Cepheus. You wouldn't happen to have—oh, silly me," she self-chastised, lightly smacking a paw against her head. "Of course you haven't the pleasure to be there. A wonderful place. Anyway, Mimosa's their name. They're what is called a tailor: a crafter of beautiful apparel."

"You see, this lovely piece here is their work." Claws swept down to showcase her cloak, and if that wasn't enough, the tatzelwurm swayed and slithered in a contained circle to display every angle of it. The golden exterior flapped about, glittering under the cave lights, but also showed off its warm, contrasting interior. "I hazard if anyone could make something wearable out of your stone and complete your attire, it'd be them. We simply would have to visit and provide them with any additional materials they might require. And you could see the Palace too while we wait on them! Many pretty sights to admire there."
