[Toothless bounds up ahead to Hiccup and they seem to share some sort of weird greeting ritual - Hiccup taking the sides of his face between his hands and wrestling him around playfully, saying,] Who's a good guide-dragon! You are! [Toothless has gone all gummy again, "smiling" and soaking up the affection, headbutting Hiccup pretty roughly.]

No problem! It's usually okay out here but it doesn't hurt to take precautions, and he's started to pick up on traces of Cwyld pretty well. Anyway, the forge is back here, I should be ready to set your stones into this bracelet.

[OH NO THATS CUTE. Elliot keeps back as they go through their greeting ritual, letting them have their moment. It's honestly endearing, and reminds him of his friends with dogs. Hiccup and Toothless have such a close relationship.]

Haha, really? Wow! I know dragons have great senses of smell...taste? But that's still impressive.

[He steps forward. His hand digging for his ARCUS from his pocket that's been holding the quartz]

Great, I made sure to bring them all. I'm excited to see how this works.

[Hiccup leads the way back to the forge, a "rustic" construction a ways back from the equally "rustic" house, Toothless keeping pace at his side.] He's no tracker class dragon, not like- like a Rumblehorn or a Nadder, but yeah, most dragons have pretty good sense of smell, and we've both learned a lot out here. [He pulls up the door and heads in, picking up something off the workbench to show Elliot. The bracelet, with the settings currently empty, made with a metal clasp to keep it securely on the wrist.]

How does it look? [A quiet laugh.] And I'm probably more excited to see what kind of magic you do with it.

[Elliot follows, also trying to follow along with what Hiccup is saying about dragons but wow] ....I didn't even know dragons had classes...

[Maybe some devoted monster researchers back home would be more aware, but Elliot was not exactly Newt Scamander here.

But oh hey the bracelet. Elliot's eye widen when he sees it.]

Oh...it looks fantastic Hiccup! Better than I imagined, even! [Yep, he's clearly pleased] Hehe, well once we get quartz in, maybe we can try a test run here! My friend and I have been experimenting with the quartz on it's own, so I have an idea how to do it...

Well, they do back home, but- none of it really, you know, carries over here... [Considering dragons here are actual people. It's still wild to think about. Don't feel the need to follow his rambling though. Only Newt Scamander actually gets him here. Is it any wonder they're friends?

He perks up a little there, eager to see some magic being done.] Sure, that sounds fantastic. Let me get these set in real quick. [It doesn't take too long to fit the quartz into the settings and bend the metal with small tools to lock them in. When it's finished, he hands it over with a smile.] Here, give it a try.

Aha, I guess not. But at least it means there's a whole new type of dragon to get to know here? [Gotta put it a positive on it! Elliot isn't one to rain on a guy's passion]

Okay! [He watches and waits while Hiccup does just that. It's impressive to watch, reminding him a little of when Orbment shops do something similar back home. Skills that look easy as someone like Hiccup does it, but he knows it probably took a lot of training.

When it's done, he'll give a nod and put it on his wrist. Lucky day, it looks like a fit! ] Oh, it fits perfect. [That's good.] Now let's see...the first step is to put some magic into the quartz...

[He'll hum, casting an enchantment spell on the big blue one. Faintly, it starts to glow faintly. Oddly, the glow doesn't seem nearly as bright as what you'd expect a magic gem this size. Like a lightbulb that's uncharacteristically dim]

[Hiccup is glad it fits. He could adjust it easily enough, but all the better that he doesn't - means it should be good to go, and ready for whatever might happen. He leans in curiously to watch him lay the enchantment, humming as he takes in the soft glow. It's not an impressive level of light, but it's possible it's not supposed to be - after all, that could get you in a bad spot, if you're trying to avoid being found and your bracelet is glowing like crazy.]

Does it seem like it's going to work okay?

[He's looking it over. After finishing giving the enchantment, he'll put his fingers on the blue quartz and with a hum, draw out the enchantment. A light splash of water comes out, appearing in the air in front of Elliot and dropping to the ground. Fortunately, he tried to avoid getting any of hiccup's stuff wet]

Hm...yep! It works perfectly!

[He lets out a laugh as he watches the water splatter over the floor, drawn out of the crystal.] Oh, it was a water charm. That's amazing! [And a relief. That's one project down, a few more to go that he wants to get out before anything else can happen with the Black City.]

Well, I'm glad it'll work out. It seems like a great system.
