Jasmine upturned a crate and revealed a good sized treasure chest with various gems in it .   Tal figured that’s where the gold came from, and it also contained various gems, pendants, bands and what not . “I’ll make a replica of my Pentamox and use that as a symbol . ” “Excuse me for asking, My Lady, but what’s a Pentamox?” Jasmine turned around to give Tal a closer look at her pendant .   It had five glowing gems of a different color in a circle; white, blue, black, red, and green, as the clock goes .   “It’s an artifact of my design .   I know of a lot of mages to use Moxes to improve their supply of mana .   There are five of them, one for each color of mana, as you’d know .   What I did was take a full set of moxes and put them in a pendant . ” As Tal nodded, the replica was made by simple gems and attached to a collar that looked more like a leather necklace and was set in place around Tal’s neck .   The pendant rested between her shoulder blades . “Now you tell me if that collar starts chafing you, Tal .   I don’t want this to as much as give you a rash, much less choke ya . ” “Of course, My Lady . ”   Tal’s voice was as childlike as what Jasmine thought was supposed to be . Jasmine smiled at this, convinced that she’s doing the right thing with Tal’en’tara . -------------------------- Jasmine gave Tal an change of clothes afterward; the little amount of blood that was spilled by that ear piercing did get on her rag of a dress .   The more tailored tunic with matching boots with a sash around the waist and silk stockings that went up to the sash level suited her better, and Tal didn’t care what she was dressed as as long as it showed that she’s of her Lady Jasmine .   So that didn’t concern Jasmine that much .
