☽: Standing very still while her husband happily runs around her in circles.

☼: Very well.

[ He places a hand on his chin. ]

Whatever you think would best suit my daughter. I'm not the best when it comes to fashion.

My wife helps me pick out my outfits. 🙁

☼: Then so be it, my people will be ready.

[ He also huffs, briefly adverting his gaze. ]

— wouldn’t do to protect my people.

[ He releases Shredder with a smile and turns to look at the gems. ]

Go on and pick one. 😊

☼: [ Victor smiles and places his hand on Shredder’s shoulder, his grip tight. ]

My daughter may be kind to you, but that doesn’t mean /I/ will be.

[ The smile FADES from his face, and he suddenly looks very scary. ]

If you try anything, I will come after you myself. There’s nothing I —

{+}

-- Evelyn is still kind to shredder despite what victor stated 💀]

☼: . . . oh ! 😦

[ the way victor's smile INSTANTLY faded. 💀]

Well, here on Mezillia, k!lling is accepted as long as we have a good reason to do so. 😊✨

.. The other two things, you would be k!lled for here. Especially stealing. We despise thieves, and never are kind to them. 👺

[ The irony --

{+}

☼: You certainly seem like you are -- ! 😊

You're much nicer than a lot of the humans I've encountered. 😁

☼: [ Victor is kind enough to genuinely listen to Shredder's yap session. 😭]

Oh my.. that's so fascinating -- ! 😀

☼: A genius ? You must understand how evil magic technology works.. 😦

[ Not evil magic technology 💀. ]

☼: I cannot help but worry, my daughter must have the best things in the world. ☹️

. . .

You are right, silly me. I am deeply sorry.. after all, YOU are the one selecting the gems. You'll make an excellent choice. 😁

☼: Are you sure ? I'm suddenly nervous she will despise it. ☹️

[ Geez, this must be how Evelyn is when selecting gifts. 💀]

☼: Nervously fidgeting, I just want to ensure my daughter gets the most perfect circlet possible. 🙁

☼: [ He nervously fidgets with his sleeve — why does he suddenly look like a sad wet cat 💀. ]

☼: well, it doesn’t hurt to have a look around — !

[ Victor walks around the shop before stopping in front of one of the display cases ]

Come, come. Pick the gems from this selection that you think would suit my daughter the best.

I want her circlet to be perfect. 😁

☼: Thank goodness for our statues.. they spite anyone on the spot who attempts to steal.

[ Victor comments as he steps over a pile of dust. yikes.. ]

Hm... I wonder where she is. Her name is Gertrude, you see. She's a wonderful woman. 😊

☼: [ Victor frowns and enters after her.

The portal led to a fancy-looking antique shop with stunning gems and jewels displayed in glass cases. ]

It’s so pleasant here… I actually met my wife here. I love my wife… she’s so pretty. 😊 ✨

[ 😭. ]

☼: how impressive..

[ he opens a portal. ]

Try to be quiet when entering, the jeweler gets frightened extremely easily. 💧

☼: By the goddess, you pulled a cape … out of your cape! Blasphemy!!

[ Victor 💀. ]

☼: Excellent, are you resistant to the cold?

[ he looks her up and down ]

I do not think humans are 💧

☼: .. Perhaps you should come with me to select the gem. There are a … lot to choose from.

I am even willing to commission a custom piece of jewelry for you if you’d like.. as a thank you —! ✨

☼: Oh — !

[ his eyes widen. ]

That is an excellent idea… you are better at this than I, thank you—! 😊 ✨

☼: Indeed it is, my jeweler has excellent talent.

She makes custom jewelry. I have commissioned her to make custom circles and crowns for my children.

.. I am unsure what gems to select for them. 💧

☼: [ He hands over a beautiful sapphire pendant. ]

This will do it. 😊

☼: I have a charm that used to be gifted to foreigners to make them fluent in our language and understand it.

If you wish to impress her, I can give it to you—! 😊

☼: [ Victor bursts out into laughter. ]

Forgive me, but that is quite funny.

I can understand how it would be difficult to foreigners, though.

☼: has my daughter not taught you ?

☼: What about a Mezillian translation ?

☼: I cannot understand you, friend.. 💧

☼: I believe you will be able to do it. 😊
