Ashe’s gaze softened, a kind smile crossing their lips as they responded to Eris’s echo of their words. "[color=#D35400]Made by my own flames, yes. Woven from the fire itself.[/color]" They nodded slightly, feeling a flicker of satisfaction at her wonder.

Watching her take the bracelet, Ashe couldn’t help but feel a sense of pride. It was a moment familiar to any artisan—seeing their creation admired and appreciated. Their smile widened, and a glint of happiness danced in their molten eyes as Eris carefully examined the fiery accessory.

As she marvelled at the bracelet, Ashe tilted their head slightly, their expression thoughtful. "[color=#D35400]I must admit, it’s not entirely kindness at play here,[/color]" they began, their voice warm but sincere.

"[color=#D35400]On one hand, I want to reward your bravery as I said. Most people wouldn’t come this close to me for obvious reasons. But on the other hand... I’m new to Dawnhaven. I need people wearing my creations, spreading the word. It’s good for business.[/color]" Their smile softened as they reassured her, "[color=#D35400]But yes, I’m sure. Consider it my first ‘investment’ in this town.[/color]"

At Eris’s remark about making a fortune in Aurelia, Ashe chuckled, the sound deep and rich like logs cracking in a fire. "[color=#D35400]Ah, I used to make a fortune long before I was reborn as a Blight-born. My craft was well-known back then, and it will be again, that’s for sure.[/color]" They nodded, a confident spark lighting their eyes. "[color=#D35400]One day, people from Aurelia will come all the way to Dawnhaven to buy from me.[/color]"

When Eris suddenly realised her lack of introduction, Ashe gave her a kind, understanding bow. "[color=#D35400]It’s a pleasure to meet you, Eris, Lead Sage of Dawnhaven.[/color]" They straightened up with a welcoming smile. "[color=#D35400]Once my shop is set up, I think you and I will need to have a chat. I have a few questions about your work, and no doubt some things I’ll need answers for.[/color]"
