"Welcome back, my love. Did you ladies have a good trip?" Karl greeted Dana as she walked up the stairs.
"We did. The wedding is set for one month from today, well, 29 days. I see that you were busy while we were gone. You found all sorts of new members and employees." Dana replied.
Karl held his arms open wide, encouraging Dana to sit on his lap while they talked.
"I did. The employees are formerly from a village in Drodh that was having issues with their neighbours. They’re taking care of the magical plants in the Tiny World.
The extra Guild Members are all sculptors, tailors and blacksmiths.
Most of the tailors didn’t become Guild members, they’re employees, but we did add one to the Guild Roster, just for the chance to learn more from Rae.
I will have to get her to go see them now that you’re all back.
Are you happy with how all the plans went? Still need to change anything?" Karl asked as Dana settled down on his lap and leaned against his chest.
"No, we covered everything to perfection.
I know that you weren’t there for it, but we had Rae, Remi and Cara, so it still felt like we were getting your input.
They know you pretty well."
Karl laughed at her response. Not only did they know him well, they could check his thoughts to see if he objected to random ideas. Despite the distance, they weren’t cut off from their link.
"You all returned just in time. The Winter Social is in a few days, and the Guild Alliance is eager to get to show off.
I’ve made you ladies some new decorative accessories using the materials from the monthly delivery of goods that the last challenger’s guild dropped off. They came out very well, and the master sculptors put in some overtime so that they would be ready when you all returned." Karl explained.
He smiled when Dana squirmed in his lap, turning to face him properly.
"You didn’t do anything crazy, did you?" She demanded.
"Of course not. I only created a new set of accessories. Totem Rank, Epic Grade. They’re impressive, but I have made dozens more necklaces at that quality since you’ve been gone.
Most of the Mythic Team will be wearing them to the social to show off the fact that the Alliance has master crafters, but I’m told that it is as much a fashion show as it is a social event, so Rae is going to love it."
Dana smiled. It had been a good month to be Rae.
"Is there anything in particular that you would like for me to make you? I know that Rae has plans for all of the major events, but not every event needs to be perfectly designed to Rae’s taste." Karl suggested.
"The events I’m thinking of don’t need clothing. I’ve missed you."
