111 The Spree (1/2)

”What's what?” Silfy was not looking at Linri so she did not see him pointing at his wrist.

”If you can lift your head up for a second, I am sure you can understand what I am talking about” Silfy raised her head and saw him pointing towards his bracelet.

”It's a bracelet, ain't it?” She could not see anything special about it.

”Yeah, that's the problem! It used to be a snake” Linri expected some sort of reaction but she did not even take him seriously.

”Then why are you asking me? Wouldn't a vet be more of an authority on this subject?” Even though she sounded sincere it couldn't be any more obvious that she was making of him.

”I am serious! I encountered this snake on an ancient ruin but instead of attacking me it latched onto my arm and turned into this bracelet. I can't even get it off. Aren't you supposed to be a blacksmith? Surely you would understand what it is” Linri tried to goad her as he thought this might be the only way he can convince her. I mean he did not really know anything about her personality in-depth but almost every young prodigy had one quirk; they always felt like they needed to prove themselves.

”Fineeeeeeeee but you are going to be the one paying the tab” Since he never had any intention of making her pay this actually worked out for him. It might be an old tradition but when a man and a woman eat out or hang out in a cafe the man should be the one paying for the tab. That was how he was raised and he was going to uphold his standards.

”Okay, so did you understand anything?” Linri asked after some time. He was impatient to learn about this damned thing.

”Don't rush me! I am a blacksmith, not a lame accessory maker, this is really outside of my area of expertise” Silfy answered while inspecting the Silver Serpent bracelet.

”Yep, I got... nothing” Silfy admitted her defeat after inspecting the bracelet for five whole minutes. She tried to take it off and when that didn't work she even tried to scratch it with a screwdriver. She even tried a chisel but it didn't work either. Then she tried to enchant it with her ability to learn its properties but it ended the same way just like her previous attempts.

”So you can't tell me anything about it?” Linri asked with some hope.

”Well, I can tell you something and that's the fact that it's extremely durable and aside from that nothing. That thing is extremely interesting, if you ever get take it off you can sell it to me. By the way which ruins did you say you got it from again?” Linri was excited at the start but it didn't take long for him to get disappointed.

”That's not important. Anyway, since you can't do it yourself do you at least know anyone that can take this thing off me?” He really was worried about this little bracelet. When he asked Solas and Lozna about it they had just said it was a good thing for him and he should not be worried but that made him even more worried and paranoid. What if it was a listening device? What if it was some kind of time bomb that would go off when they were done with him? I mean he was sure that he didn't offend them in any way but he had still stood up to them, so what if they were vengeful and wanted to kill him for it? I mean he wasn't even the real chosen one of the Togk deities! He was just an expendable pawn.

”Nope! So you are sure about not selling it to me?” Silfy asked once more and pried Linri away from his thoughts.

”Not interested and I am not even sure you would want it when you learn its real origin” Silfy gave him a crafty smile.

”Then how about dating me?” Linri did not process the question for a second.

”... Excuse me?”

”Yeah, you heard me!” He just raised his eyebrows like he couldn't believe she was asking something like this.

”No? Anyway, why are you asking something like that again?” Silfy just rolled her eyes at him. I mean when they messaged online Silfy would always joke like that but Linri did not think that she would also ask him the same thing face to face! Did that mean she was always serious?
