Linden Id like to buy your enchanting services. I need to stay cool if I want to participate in the scavenger hunts and none of the cooling jewelry Ive found is powerful enough to make a difference for me. You once gave me frostbite by touch, so I trust youll be able to upgrade the enchantment on one to meet my needs. What would that cost me?
[And then, a beat later a second message.]
To be clear I dont want it to give me frostbite, just keep me from succumbing to heat stroke.
Mainly the heat, although depending on how competitive the wilder witches get a little extra protection might come in handy. I don't much care for the smell of burnt fur.
I have a good idea of the degree you'll need for this, I think.
For payment, I suppose you could just purchase or hunt a good cut of meat and deliver it to the toy store, Life's Playthings, for its owner. That'd make us about square.
[What's a toy store need meat for? He reads the text again, realizing its for the owner rather than the store at large. Still, strange way to barter, but if it saves him the cune he'll be glad to. He hasn't knocked an arrow in quite some time, and this will be a good chance to change that. Cant have his aim dwindling away just because he's no longer an active soldier after all.]
Consider it done. Does the owner have a favorite meal? Rabbit, venison, pheasant? Hopefully not boar. I may be a good shot but I can't manage one of those on my own.
I don't have anything in particular. I wasn't sure if there was a specific kind of base item or charm that would be best. Dealer's choice.
[Telling L to pick an article of clothing for him is too tempting an opportunity to pass up. Would it be boring and utilitarian like the man's own style? Would he try to get something humiliating or deliberately uncomfortable? He can't think of anything that would really inconvenience him too much, and this would serve as a good litmus test of how much animosity L still had for him.]
They pay me, now, but I am still a teacher at an orphanage.
Leave it to me and you're getting a paisley head scarf with a coffee stain on it, so I'd suggest bringing something you would choose to wear and find comfortable. As soon as you have that, you can bring it by.

You trust correctly.
[When he's good at something, he's among, if not the very best. For as harsh as L's self-image can get, that much at least is true.]
Do you plan to be running through fire? Or are you only concerned with the summer heat in the Wilds?

He doesn't, that I know of. Just make sure it's nutritious, not rancid, and sizable.
I'll prepare some runes if you have something wearable you'd like them inscribed on.

I'll deliver the meat sometime tomorrow and visit you after with something to enchant. Deal?

Knock first, and for bonus points, don't make it a pain to write on.
