*when the light fades, there's a book on the table, with a leather cover embossed with a fancy scrolled crown there may be some strange creatures in the patterning. It looks like nothing more than a simple book, any trace of the stone has vanished*

That should do it.

The stone...?

*the middle pages don't open! but as his hand slips across them and catches the cover, that part does swing open, revealing a stone box nested perfectly within the hollow of the false pages*

The lid slides into place. It was the best way I could think of to close it up as much as I could without being there to do it myself.

Re: [backtimed!!1 276 morning ]

...it's perfect.

[ slides the lid open and closed, running a thumb along the seams... closes it up again ]

This oughta work better than anything else! Thanks, Ed.

Ah, you're welcome! Do you mind if I keep a smaller piece of the leftovers in trade for the leather and wood? I've kind of been using a lot of it.

Re: [backtimed!!1 276 morning ]

[tothelight]

Not at all. Actually, I was gonna give you this in exchange...

*... :O!!*

This--where'd you get something like this?

Re: [backtimed!!1 276 morning ]

[tothelight]

It's part of what we brought over from East Block.

It's not much, but... with your alchemy, there's still a whole load of things you can do with this, right?

This is fantastic! You're sure this is a fair trade?

Re: [backtimed!!1 276 morning ]

[tothelight]

There's no one else here who could make something like this.

[ picks up the bookbox ]

I'd say it's a fair trade, yeah.

Re: [backtimed!!1 276 morning ]

[clap_your_hands.insanejournal.com]

All right. Thanks, this is amazing!

Slip that into your bag before you leave, so it's not quite so obvious. And if you come across anything else that needs to be sealed this way, I can make another one easily.

[ already adding it to Inventory pack :|b tugs on the leather thongs securing the opening, then knots them together ]

Got it.

[ slings it over his shoulder again and stands up ]

I've gotta get this back as soon as I can... thanks again.

You're welcome. And good luck.

*getting up to get the door for you*

Re: [backtimed!!1 276 morning ]

[tothelight]

Aah-- I can get the door on the way out, you don't have to move.

It's fine, I'm getting sick of just sitting around all the time.

Thanks for stopping by with that trade.

Re: [backtimed!!1 276 morning ]

What you made's more than worth it. ....there's a lot at stake, after all.
