Quinlan, for his part, just shrugged with the same annoying smirk tugging at his lips. "This arrangement works perfectly for me," he announced simply.

"Who would’ve expected the universe itself would team us up in such a way, Kaelira?" Quinlan asked the tomboy elf while still hugging her waist close to him, which in turn made her squirm.
"Certainly not me... But I’m excited, My Lord," she muttered under her breath.
"That makes the two of us," Quinlan replied with a grin and let the elf go, not wanting to make her uncomfortable. "Let’s just hope our supposed teacher knows his stuff. Honestly, I’m a bit skeptical..."
That statement of his earned a smile from Rykar, though no warmth reached his eyes. "Done flirting, overly rude students of mine? Let’s begin then."
He looked toward Kaelira. "You have free rein, long-eared one. Choose the item you wish to make. I won’t influence the decision."
The muscly elf nodded.
