It had taken longer than he'd expected to fire up Caiside's almost-ready forge and finish the more finicky bits of the crafting, after he'd obtained the materials at the Whispershore. Goldfish scales had needed to be lacquered to hold their shape and color, and sparkling stones had needed to be polished and fixed in metal settings. Jigano had been stealing time away from Fiat Lux preparations to work on it right up until the last minute, and he had ended with scooping them into a small folded-paper box sealed with vines and a flower courtesy of his earth magic.
He wasn't surprised to find that he was far from the first to arrive, though he was a little chagrined at how late he was. Still, it made it easy to spotOliver 's blond head in the mix of those exchanging their gifts, and he approached the young man with a grin, offering the box proudly. "Oliver! Happy Fiat Lux! I hope you enjoy your gift."
Within the box coiled a bracelet-and-earrings-set, oval gold and silver scales gleaming in the light and hinged together with gold and silver links. Between each scale was set a shining stone from the Whispershore, red and green and blue and clear. The bracelet was a simple stretch of scales and stones, while the earrings had a single yellowish stone (likely a citrine) set at the post, and a cascade of 3 scales hanging below, each hinged with another, smaller colored stone before the second set of scales that hung below them so that they would chime and swing when Oliver walked.
