First Jewel
Jenna crafts a delicate amethyst piece to the young man's specifications. One day, he may possess treasures far grander—but this first jewel will remain etched in memory.

The finished piece delights him. Set in silver, the amethyst gleams larger and brighter than he expected, encircled by a silver thread shaped like ocean waves. He hurries to the mirror, eager to see himself adorned. The jewel fills him with confidence, kindling hope for the days ahead. The poor young man can't give Jenna much, so she doesn't have much to share with you either—but she still manages to give you a small reward.

Use an Emerald
Emeralds are gentle yet profound. Perfect for a court official's attire. Should he step into the palace, this piece could serve him for years.

Jenna nods completely in agreement. Yet the young man is overwhelmed by the jewel's splendor. Time and again, he protests that he cannot even afford a few tiny emeralds. Jenna reassures him that the cost has already been covered by Lord [player.name].

He nearly weeps as he leaves, repeatedly promising he will one day repay the kindness he has received.

Action:

A Lucky Stone
You hand Jenna a ruby—a gem of extraordinary brilliance, perfect for a moment such as this, when a young man stands on the threshold of his destiny.

Both you and Jenna sense that this ruby will bring him good fortune.

At first, the young man flees—literally terrified.

He mistakes Jenna's craft for a trap, fearing she will demand payment beyond his means. Fortunately, others at the guesthouse intercept him and bring him back.

Jenna explains patiently that Lord [player.name] has already covered the cost, and no further payment will be expected. The young man is astonished—not only by the unexpected generosity but also by the care and artistry Jenna has poured into a piece for which she earns nothing.

He solemnly dons the jewel, raising a vow to both it and you: he will make a name for himself and return one day to repay this debt of gratitude.
