Irelith arrived without ceremony.
She stepped inside, took in the state of the room with a single glance, and then looked at me.
"You asked for me."
"I did," I said. "I'll need materials. The ones you selected earlier. Rectangular slabs. Four feet in height. I'll need them in quantity."
She raised an eyebrow. "How many?"
"As many as you're willing to part with."
A pause followed. "And my role?" she asked. "Do you want assistance during engraving?"
I shook my head. "No. I don't need help. I'll handle the work myself."
That earned me a longer look. Not offended. Curious.
"Very well," she said at last. "Wait here."
She left and returned a short while later. She threw a ring at me.
"Inventory ring," she said. "Check it."
I took it and had a look inside.
