But – I figured you’d be able to pull this one off easily.” Another sunshine grin followed, before more animated discourse with her hands as she pointed at the armor. “If that doesn’t work out, I can probably find something more suitable – but I thought you’d be able to get them enchanted by a herald, if you ever wanted, to really enhance them.”
