The Craftsman Chapter 198

As he had finally finished most of the presents Daedalus decided that taking a break would be a good idea . So Daedalus cuddled up on the sofa with Andromeda . This caused her to wake up, she felt slightly surprised as she didn't even notice when she fell asleep .

Daedalus who saw her suprise chuckled softly and said "I finished with Reginn's gift a few moments ago, so I thought I would join you for a while . "

Andromeda smiled mischievously at this and suddenly jumped on him . Daedalus was definitely pleased with this turn of events .

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

After what felt like forever, which was only an hour or so, Daedalus was back in his chair at the crafting table . This time he would be working on Richard's gift, he had a lot of ideas for what he could make . Daedalus however could not chose decisively and spent around two hours not being able to chose .

Eventually Daedalus gave up and called rose in . Before that however he carefully his her present in a box and put it in his spatial ring . After that Rose entered the room with a curious look on her face .

Daedalus didn't bother beating around the bush and immediately said "I am making Richard a gift but I don't know what he would want, what do you think I should make?"

Rose began to look excited and said "How about a scarf, made out of dragon scales?"

Daedalus looked conflicted for a second before asking "And where are these scales?"

Rose looked down a little and mumbled something quietly, before picking up her head and showing him her puppy dog eyes . She then said "I shed a few the other day, we can use those, right?"

Due to her enormous skill at using the puppy dog eyes technique, Daedalus just couldn't say no . Sighing quietly Daedalus said "Fine, but we won't tell him they are your scales, okay?"

Rose then beamed an enormous smile and said "Thank you, daddy!"

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

And so Daedalus and Rose worked together to create a scale scarf out of Rose's own scales . Daedalus knew that, at least in wyvern culture, it was a sign of affection that was rarely used .

As they worked on the scarf together Daedalus felt it would be a good idea to split up the tasks . So in the end Daedalus was the one who dealt with the runes and enchantments while Rose was to work on actually styilising the scarf . This would mean that Rose would be the main creator of the gift, but Daedalus felt that it was better this way .

So after a few hours Daedalus and Rose finished making the protectively enchanted scarf . Rose seemed to be happier than ever as she looked at the carefully made scarf she made while Daedalus sighed still feeling rather conflicted . Rose also seemed to have found out about some of he customs of wyvern culture and knew about the tradition, however she didn't mention this .

Daedalus however could easily see that she understood and he could only sigh .
