Her scrutiny wasn’t a harsh one, and she was momentarily distracted from the subject matter, nodding along as if it were normal circumstances. “Mhm.

She’d have to remember the notions of such a river, if she were to snag some for herself. Then, as if she’d forgotten (well, she might have in between curiosities), she made a small gasp. “Oh! I have something for you!” Her fingers retrieved the bedazzled spyglass from her bag, holding it for him to behold and see; adorned in every hue she’d found along the stretches of the Rainbow Road, the stones affixed with resin, sure to stay put on long expeditions within the salty sea.
This is a gift, it comes with a price
Who is the lamb and who is the knife?
Midas is king and he holds me so tight
And turns me to gold in the sunlight
