1. Hmm. Yeah, something's still not quite right here. Maybe the chest decoration is a little...lonely?
  2. There's no way this accessory is good enough to sell [cdb]in its current state.
  3. Something wrong, Hildy?
  4. Hey, Dorothea. Yeah, I'm actually trying to make a [cdb]necklace, but it's not going well.
  5. I just can't shake the feeling it's... I dunno. Missing a [cdb]little something, I guess.
  6. Anyway, I was just mulling over what I should do [cdb]about it.
  7. Oh, so this is one of your handmade accessories! I've wanted to see one for so long.
  8. Might I offer an opinion?
  9. Oh, absolutely. Give me the brutal truth. I can [cdb]handle it!
  10. This is fine workmanship—much more elaborate than [cdb]the goods you can buy off a common tinker.
  11. Ah, the chain is patterned after a vine! Yes, I see...
  12. Forgive an amateurish opinion, but what if you were [cdb]to add some leaves under this floral decoration?
  13. If there were a pattern that bridged the flower and [cdb]the vines, that might lend it the special something [cdb]you feel like you're missing.
  14. You know what? That just might do it... Yeah, I think [cdb]you're really onto something there, Dorothea!
  15. Thanks a million! I'll give it a shot.
  16. I'm glad I could help.
  17. Oh, but now I'm going to come to you whenever I'm [cdb]in a pickle about how to fix an accessory, you know.
  18. I would be delighted.
  19. Say, do you have any interest in actually selling the [cdb]items you make?
  20. Huh? Wait, you think I could sell them?
  21. As I said earlier, you rarely see goods of this quality. They could, for example, be used by an [cdb]opera troupe.
  22. Like the Mittelfrank Opera Company?
  23. Exactly. Stage costumes use all manner of accessories [cdb]and ornamentations, you know.
  24. And once they're seen in such a settling, nobles from [cdb]near and far will be clamoring to buy them!
  25. Dorothea, I love you! I'm so happy I could scream!
  26. Actually, maybe we could keep the spirit of our [cdb]newfound cooperation going.
  27. See, someday I actually wanna open a school for [cdb]craftspeople who make accessories like mine.
  28. And since you used to work at the opera company, [cdb]maybe you could help me with the whole business-y [cdb]side of things!
  29. I mean, opera people are pretty good with accessories [cdb]and stuff, right? So what do you think?
  30. ...
  31. That's wonderful, Hildy! What ideas you think of!
  32. There are few jobs retired opera members can get, [cdb]which was always a source of worry for the company.
  33. So let's definitely return to this conversation in the [cdb]near future, all right?
  34. Oh, I am so glad I met you, Dorothea!
