Everything in Rivain seems to have been crafted by someone who absolutely loves their work. It shines through in the patterns, the detailing, and the quality of the materials used. There is so much to admire about Rivain, and this is just one of them. Ellana breathes out in relief, glad he likes them. Of course she knows that he's easy to please and would probably -- on some level -- like anything she gives him, but she wants him to really like these and get plenty of use out of them.

Their editing is only helping, in her opinion. "Then I've spared him the heart attack and you the yelling he would probably do. But hold on; I have one more present. It's a little heavier, and I have to unwrap some pieces first." Ellana goes digging back in her bag, trying to get it all unwrapped and together without taking it out and ruining the surprise. Once she has the pieces set up, she stands and presents him with an ink stand complete with two bottles of ink.

"For all your note taking and research," she explains.
