8=l < A simple adornment that applies to the forehead like a circlet without a band 8=l < It uses magic to grant breath 8=l < I enjoy working with a variety of decorative metals and making jewelry like this that serves functionally
8=l < I will do my best to not look
"= oh, huh. i was more enamored by the mask. pssssh. but, that's cool, i guess. if i needed a breathing enchantment i would apply it to the neck, it's more thematic. ="

"= you scare me, haha. uh. i do not want to see that weapon. for now, eeeaaaah. =" "= uh, but i do think. that's a very cool thing. to make. but. ="
8=l < She had more than earned my ire, rest assured 8=l < I do not go killing gods willy-nilly 8=l < Or anyone for that matter 8=l < I trot a trail of nonviolence as best I can manage 8=l < Until I am pushed
