— Good day, — she said first, — you have some interesting new items here. It's pleasing to the eye. May I have "Song of the Stars," "Mystery of the Black Cat," and "Flight of the Dragon," please?
As before, the banners that Alaria was tempted to call tapestries were meant to serve as reminders. "Song of the Stars" is about Reime, who is somewhere out there, far away, in the vastness of space. "Flight of the Dragon" is about the tragedy of Kre'adar and their heroic battle against Despair. The only exception was the black cat, which was intended for Beata and Guion. A kind of reminder of Mysterius...
"Wait a minute! Mystery of the Black Cat. Mysterius. Does that mean... oh, never mind. I hope I'm not buying a duplicate of something they already have."
Alaria wanted to buy something for Klin as well, but she had no doubt that he already had a banner of his native Kre'adar at home. And there wasn't much else to give. Not "Flight of the Dragon," surely? Perhaps a painting with familiar landscapes would be better. But even if she found one, it would cost much more than three dozen rems.
