"Quite impressive work for a self taught mage. Makes me admire yer craft more so since ya near mine with minimal guidance. I'm sure with a bit more of me company, ya could excel all yer expectations too. As an artist in me own way and one who studies often, I know how grueling and painful it is. Worries me ye had to do it all this time alone."She took the sculpture she made in the middle into her hands. Looking over the gist of her details and ruminating her concept in her mind. She let Alex get to work on the bit he insisted, the body. She gave him minimal input as he knew well what he was doing. She added the eyes and horns as he suggested she would do. And two made the wings with a mesh of their ice and magic.
The statue looked quite impressive when the pair were done. Lumikki in particular looking over their work. She sung many a praise to Alex who was still further back than she was.
A crowd had found their way to them as they worked, bunching around them as the art was made. Many whispering among themselves of the piece they witnessed coming alive. Lumikki would turn to greet the crowd. The were not a consideration in her wanting to make this, but they were still a funny byproduct to the experience of it all. She stood before them and took the lead of talking.
Running through the majestic history and origin of dragons, and that this very piece was constructed with the assistance of a Dragonslayer himself. Ice by proxy, made by the power to equal, no rival that of dragons.
The crowd would revel in the excitement, many desiring to purchase such a piece. And argue nearly breaking out to who was there first and who had the means to buy it. Lumikki soothed the crowd, organizing a bid for the piece, and ultimately an older couple would win the honor.
Lumikki content with the out come looked over to Alex,
"Ya don't see the worth in yerself that others easily could. To be fair, its a skill to have, and one not so easy to self teach like yer magic. All the same, yer as deserving of praise as anyone else. I'm curious of what more ya'd do when giving the chance to grow and show off?"Lumikki handed him all the earrings as she herself was find without them. He on the other hand made the base, the more important piece.
"Here mate, ya can't tell me ya have nothing at all anymore. This is just the start to all ye'll have now." The Daemon grinned mischievously before tossing the pouch in the air so he may be compelled to caught it. Betting he had good reflexes as a thief. She shifted to a raven just as it left her hand so he couldn't hand it back in an annoying display of modesty. Perching on the roof just nearby.
"Aye mate, tis time to invest in the self ya long to be. We can't both be aimless now can we." Even in her raven form one could hear the laugh in her voice as she flew off toward home. Hoping she left him a little better off than she found him.
