I really appreciate the samples of Drana and Dragel, Player. I know they weren't easy to get.

I'm not ready to publish anything yet, of course, but real progress is being made--mysteries are being unraveled.

And it's all thanks to you, Player.

Player: "I live to serve."

Do you happen to know Shoshinerk of the Tigraki Workshop? She's a Shugo in the Artisans Hall.

She expressed great interest when I mentioned Drana. I suspect because so much of her work revolves around utilizing Balaur...parts....

She's interested in working a trade with you.

Player: Accept.

Tell Shoshinerk I sent you. She'll know what it's about.

Of course she'll have some hoops for you to jump through.

It will probably involve a fair amount of patience and discomfort in sadly unequal portions, but it should pay off handsomely.

Player: "Thanks for the tip!"

What brings Daeva to Shoshinerk, nyerk?

Daeva has tidbits on Balaur tidbits, akakakak?

Tell Shoshinerk, and much profit will be made, nyerk.

Player: "Creusa thought we might do business."

This Shugo heard Daeva found Drana and Dragel for Creusa, nyerk.

Shoshinerk is curious!

Have good reward if Daeva procures materials for me. Shugo's honor, akakakak!
