"Certainly. Perhaps we can discuss commissioning a bit later, too, if you feel like it."

“Maybe.” She nodded. “… can I ask how much that costs? I just want to be sure I have enough before you go through the trouble.”

"That'll depend on the details and dimensions of the box, but simpler heartboxes are generally between fifty and a hundred clappers. Nobles' boxes usually end up being between three hundred and nine hundred."

“Thank you.” She nodded and stepped towards the door. “I’ll be back.”
(Idk how much he gave her?)

(He gave her about 400 clappers Which is a LOT And she's got like 1000 silver loops and a whole pouch that's just copper pellets)
He dipped his head. "Good luck, miss!"

(Aww rich puppy father stressing I mean spoiling dirt poor kid haha)(“sir this costs more than my first fathers entire estate, including me”)(honestly I feel a little bad about how bad the Petrir reveal is going to hurt her. She won’t want to leave the Loquiturs for her birth family, I think, but poor kid is gonna have all kinds of betrayal about Petrir)
“Thank you!” She grinned and stepped outside, shivering immediately. Somehow she forgot every single time she stepped outside of a door that she shivered every single time she stepped outside. You’d think she’d get used to the cold by now. She glanced around looking for Tomhas or maybe Sera.

(It's gonna be really bad for sure I'm worried about her, poor kiddo)
Tomhas was off by the sweet buns, and Sera and Rickard were down near the Drummers and Skalds looking at something at a stand.

(Yeahhh)(Honestly I think weirdly enough it may strengthen her bond with Tomhas tho. It means Tomhas is as much of her “real” father as Petrir was and she’s certain of Petrir’s undying love of her. I think it’ll hurt but will help… hopefully lol)
Ky bit her lip and then turned and started towards Sera. She should ask her first. The woman knew how to not piss off Gaius, which felt like an impossible task. Surely she knew how to read Tomhas, too.

(Aw good then he can immediately tell her he cheated on Anneke with Emery)
(Also I found the peddler lady's name. It's pronounced "munna" the same way Mymble is pronounced Mumble in the Moomin show)
Myna was watching Ky intently as she passed, reaching up to scratch at the neatly trimmed gray beard growing beneath her chin.

(Nuuu this is exactly the reason I didn’t have her pry lmao)(watch “Narfi” be absolutely delighted by her downfall and rub it in. “Man. Three shitty liar fathers in a row. Tough break kid”) (And I’m not familiar but I like the name!)
Ky actively refused to look at her, instead ducking her head and rushing past in a wide arc that was well out of easily-engagable zone as she hurried towards Sera.

Sera looked up as Ky came toward her, smiling. "Ah, hello, Ky. Find anything yet?"

(midjourney has decided that Tomhas is actually Willem Dafoe so I'm leaning into that)
"What's your question?" she asked.

“So with—“ she hesitated, glancing over her shoulder to be sure Tomhas hadn’t come over. Then decided she was going about this all wrong. “Okay. Pre-question. Are you gonna tell Tomhas if I ask you a question?”

(It's turning out surprisingly well. I'm trying a different outfit right now)
(It's much better!!!)
"Depends on what the question is," she said with a frown.
