"That's alright, Miss Mary. It's just another thing for me to work towards."

"Until then, we have shopping to do. Could you find a bag of rice while I get the fish?" She asks, offering a couple coins.

Mary the goblin queen joins Noelle for morning coffee. "S'up pretty?" She flashes a grin if those dagger like teeth.

"Oh! Miss...Mary, right? Good morning. Taking breakfast upstairs today?"

[songofsilentechoes]

Noelle sighs as they walk. "Well, my studies allowed me to decypher a tablet I found, and it turns out the being who took my sound was *supposed* to return it, but didn't. So I need a lawyer skilled in magical contracts in order to summon the person and compel them to return what they've taken from me."

Mary the goblin queen joins Noelle for morning coffee. "S'up pretty?" She flashes a grin if those dagger like teeth.

"Oh! Miss...Mary, right? Good morning. Taking breakfast upstairs today?"

[songofsilentechoes]

"Well, we still need to go by the market for food. I know the fishmongers will likely have a fresh catch for sale today." Noelle says, looking at a shopping list.

"I've also been trying to keep eyes out for a lawyer, but I don't think anyone in Piltover is able to handle magic contracts. So that might be an errand for another day."

Mary the goblin queen joins Noelle for morning coffee. "S'up pretty?" She flashes a grin if those dagger like teeth.

"Oh! Miss...Mary, right? Good morning. Taking breakfast upstairs today?"

[songofsilentechoes]

The short woman smiles and nods. "It suits you. Good. Don't want you getting too cold."

Mary the goblin queen joins Noelle for morning coffee. "S'up pretty?" She flashes a grin if those dagger like teeth.

"Oh! Miss...Mary, right? Good morning. Taking breakfast upstairs today?"

[songofsilentechoes]

"N-no need to be so formal about this, Miss Mary. It's just tea."

She continues to browse the books a little, before setting them down. "Are you feeling warmed up? I know it was chilly out there."

Mary the goblin queen joins Noelle for morning coffee. "S'up pretty?" She flashes a grin if those dagger like teeth.

"Oh! Miss...Mary, right? Good morning. Taking breakfast upstairs today?"

[songofsilentechoes]

what if we kissed while the two musical motifs representing our characters overlapped, complimenting each other perfectly

"Perhaps sometime you can enlighten me over tea." Noelle says with a smile. "I know you have princes and princesses, given the kids. But I suppose I do have a lot to learn."

Mary the goblin queen joins Noelle for morning coffee. "S'up pretty?" She flashes a grin if those dagger like teeth.

"Oh! Miss...Mary, right? Good morning. Taking breakfast upstairs today?"

[songofsilentechoes]

"Physically, I'm fine." Noelle says, blushing faintly from being worried about. "Emotionally...well...that's harder to pin down."

"I love music and feel like I always wanted to play instruments. But naturally I can't with this condition. However..." She hesitates, fidgetting with her fork. "I found that I have muscle memory for it. Meaning...I probably used to. Realizing that I had the ability and lost it hurt a lot."

She sighs. "My investigations have confirmed my suspicions, though. I believe an angel stole it from me, and has refused to return it. I don't yet know why."

"But this hardly impacts my day to day life. I need to shout instead of knock on doors, but for the most part it just makes me lack a certain...presence."

"It feels like it's been awhile since I last saw you, Miss Sky. May I get you a drink, or pay for something to eat for you?"

The blonde smiled at the familiar face, leaning on the bar with a weary smile.

'I fear it has been....I apologise.' She looked awkwardly to the side....then to her coin purse, knowing full well there wasn't much left to spare.

'I...may need to take you up on that offer, if that's alright?' A dry chuckle left her before returning her gaze to the woman, resting her cheek in her palm.

'What would you recommend for a weary traveller, friend?'

[songofsilentechoes]

"Possibly. I know vellum takes to magic really well, so I could make it resistant to weather and wear and tear. It's certainly something for me to consider."

"I confess, I know little about the scrolls the goblins keep. I was unaware they were a thing you had."

Mary the goblin queen joins Noelle for morning coffee. "S'up pretty?" She flashes a grin if those dagger like teeth.

"Oh! Miss...Mary, right? Good morning. Taking breakfast upstairs today?"

[songofsilentechoes]

"That makes sense. Wouldn't want the books to rot." Noelle replies, glad that the drink was appreciated.

"I've been meaning to make some upgrades to my spellbook, but I haven't had time to really focus on that."

Mary the goblin queen joins Noelle for morning coffee. "S'up pretty?" She flashes a grin if those dagger like teeth.

"Oh! Miss...Mary, right? Good morning. Taking breakfast upstairs today?"

[songofsilentechoes]

Noelle does notice and makes a point to stop inside a book shop so the goblin can warm up a little while they shop. She also purchases her a hot chocolate.

"Oh! Miss...Mary, right? Good morning. Taking breakfast upstairs today?"

[songofsilentechoes]

Noelle couldn't help but chuckle at the goblin's enthusiasm.

"It's just a trip to the market." She says, but doesn't really push her to change into something more comfortable or casual. For all she knows, this IS comfy and casual for the goblins.

With that, the two go to the market.

Mary the goblin queen joins Noelle for morning coffee. "S'up pretty?" She flashes a grin if those dagger like teeth.

"Oh! Miss...Mary, right? Good morning. Taking breakfast upstairs today?"

[songofsilentechoes]

"Hm? Well, if you like. It probably won't be much fun, but I won't say 'no' to some company and an extra pair of hands."

Maybe she'd let her pick dinner.

"Oh! Miss...Mary, right? Good morning. Taking breakfast upstairs today?"

[songofsilentechoes]

"A-Ah, yes. I suppose I was trying to be subtle about it when we last met. I have a...condition. I'm unable to make sound of any kind."

To demonstrate, she takes the fork from her meal and taps it against her mug. There's an uncanny absence of any sound from it.

"I've had the condition for awhile, and had ways of getting around it. But I purchased a voice from her establishment in hopes it would restore my sound. It did not, but it DID manage to provide me with a voice to speak with."

"I call it a 'curse', as that's usually more straightforward for people to understand. But after research, I believe it was stolen from me, along with my memories of ever having sound. Finding ways to restore it has been the focus of my studies when I'm not working."

"It feels like it's been awhile since I last saw you, Miss Sky. May I get you a drink, or pay for something to eat for you?"

The blonde smiled at the familiar face, leaning on the bar with a weary smile.

'I fear it has been....I apologise.' She looked awkwardly to the side....then to her coin purse, knowing full well there wasn't much left to spare.

'What would you recommend for a weary traveller, friend?'

[songofsilentechoes]

"I believe they have it well in hand." Noelle says with confidence. "But I will be available if they have need of me."

"Otherwise, I should probably do some errands. Grocery shopping, reagent shopping, finding a lawyer for my projects, etc. Busy, but there's no specific time limit."

Mary the goblin queen joins Noelle for morning coffee. "S'up pretty?" She flashes a grin if those dagger like teeth.

"Oh! Miss...Mary, right? Good morning. Taking breakfast upstairs today?"

[songofsilentechoes]

"If it's that important to you and your people, you should really have it back, then. I've already copied the spells." She says, offering Mary the staff.

She knew the goblins were flirty, and so wasn't reading too much into her compliments.

Mary the goblin queen joins Noelle for morning coffee. "S'up pretty?" She flashes a grin if those dagger like teeth.

"Oh! Miss...Mary, right? Good morning. Taking breakfast upstairs today?"

[songofsilentechoes]

"Uh-huh. I've been learning how to layer magical artifacts into each other and combine their effects. It's like a spellbook."

She sets her coffee down and takes out her baton again. Her eyes and hand glow briefly with a dark purple, and she reaches into her wand, pulling out the Staff of Goblin. "See? It's fine."

Mary the goblin queen joins Noelle for morning coffee. "S'up pretty?" She flashes a grin if those dagger like teeth.
