Tave made his way to Fokil's forge immediately after his meeting with Vanya and Elincia. He knocked, was invited in, and found the dwarf hard at work as usual.
At that moment, it struck him how often he'd visited this place.

"Not ready for your relic today, kid," Fokil called out without looking up.
"That's fine, sir," Tave replied, reaching toward his storage ring. "But…" he paused, taking out the shimmering Eclipse Silver crystal from his storage ring.
The moment the crystal appeared, Fokil set down his hammer and fixed his gaze on the luminescent gem. Its glow cutting through the forge's dim light and fiery ambience.
"Where did you get that?" Fokil asked.
Tave offered a small, satisfied smile. He'd gotten the dwarf's full attention with one display.
