there's light at the edge of the darkness
Setting the wine bottle down, Loren stared at the bear for a long moment. Then he smiled, though it had a bit of a sad edge to it. ”It has no magic of its own, but yes, it went through many adventures.” The words came out quietly.
Glancing up at the merchant, the summoner found himself wracking his brain. ”It was beloved of a boy, who used it to fight off the monsters that went bump in the night, and to go on many perilous journeys with dangers around every corner." Holding it in both hands now, the Launceleyn's smile broadened. "It kept him safe through all of it, until he didn't need it any more." It was all technically true.
Still, he figured he could sweeten the pot. "If it's magic you want, though, I've got plenty." Holding out a hand, palm up, an orb of water appeared above it.
