[Trahearne's tone is usually slow and measured, but today, it's practically melancholy. It's at odds with the otherwise good news that he has to share.]

I recently found employment.

It's at a place on the north end of the shopping district named Anovel's Antiques. I stopped in recently to ask where some of the pieces came from, and it seems that my interest was enough to land me the job. If any of you are eager to learn more about the cultures here, you're welcome to stop by. Every item here has a story, and leaning those stories is by far the best part of my job.

[Here he pauses and draws in a breath, as if bracing himself, but what comes out isn't what he meant to address. He's not sure he can say it out loud, not yet.]

I likely won't be at the Dreaming Bridge very often for the next week or so. I - I need some time to steady myself. I'll keep my yimo on me to stay in touch.

Do you have any pieces laid with minerals or other stones? I would be interested in knowing the local significance of such things.

And ah, that is unfortunate. I hope you can at least impress upon them that the value of their purchase goes beyond price.

The shop doesn't often deal in jewelry, but I believe we have a pin, and a couple of small statues that incorporate some kind of gemstones. I think one of the vases uses something less rare. I'll ask the owner about those pieces before you stop by.

I'll certainly do my best. I would hope that most of our customers are more interested in the history than they are in home decorating.
