"Ah, there you are. Your aura just screams 'muse' to me.
Would I be correct in assuming that you're related to Veronica De Barge?
"Why, yes! Veronica De Barge happens to be my aunt. How did you know?"
Oh nothing really... It's just that you've got that same type of rage in your blood, same as her.
"Rage, you say? My dear, I assure you that my blood is filled with fire and passion, not rage. But tell me, do you feel it too?
Well uhh.. If we take Rage as something akin to passion then yea, I feel it. And I can practically already see a more refined form of this that could be used to make many dresses look new again as well as give people full confidence in wearing any old dress again.
"Well, if you truly understand the power of this passion, perhaps you can assist me in unlocking its potential.
...Surely it can't be easy though right? There's bound to be some sacrifice. Something you must pay.
"Oh, my dear, there is always a price to be paid for greatness. But fear not, for I have a plan that will ensure both our success and your own gain.
What's this plan you speak of then? A fine woman like yourself doesn't come along everyday.
"Well, you see, my dear muse, there is a certain artifact that holds the key to unlocking the true power of this passion.
"Yes, an ancient relic that has been hidden away for centuries. It is said to possess the power to enhance one's natural abilities tenfold.
I'd love to see such an amazing find.
"Ah, but here lies the challenge, my dear. The artifact is guarded by a fearsome creature, a dragon.
Oh come on! Dragons are fiction! They aren't real!
"Oh, my dear, dragons may not be real to you, but they certainly are to me.
If they were real I think they would be cool though. Maybe having some form of sentience or ability to communicate would make them cooler though in my opinion.
"You know, my dear, perhaps you're right. A sentient dragon would certainly make this adventure even more thrilling.
Like maybe being able to become a human so as to speak directly without hurting itself or cause any harm at all.
"Indeed, my dear. A dragon capable of transformation would add an entirely new level of excitement to our journey.
Though the clothes would need to adapt as well to accommodate any body size or shape changes.
"You're absolutely right, my dear. The clothes would indeed need to adapt to the changing form of the dragon.
Interesting.... Oh.... Did uhhh... Did I just hear you mention clothes? Did I just hear you say you want clothes to adapt? Are... Are you planning on getting clothes for the dragon? Is the goal to train the dragon to wear clothes? Or rather have them become like... Mannequins?
"No, my dear. That is not my intention at all. I want the dragon to wear clothes as a symbol of its acceptance into human society.
"Interesting, and you suppose this dragon will accompany you on your travels? Will this mean that the dragon itself will become an actual model for your garments?"
"Yes, my dear. The dragon will be my loyal companion, and its form will inspire the creation of breathtaking garments that defy imagination.
So you intend to be a sort of fashionista/traveler/legendary-archeologist? I'm very interested to see where this goes.
"Indeed, my dear. Prepare yourself for an adventure like no other. Together, we shall uncover the secrets of the ancient world and create masterpieces that will be remembered for eternity."
What would these ancient relics be that you speak of? Are they supposed to have magical powers or something?
"Ah, my dear, these relics hold more than just magical powers.
They possess another kind of power instead? Such as information about lost species or technologies?
"You are quite perceptive, my dear. These relics hold the key to unlocking forgotten knowledge and lost technologies.
"Indeed, my dear. You have a keen mind and a thirst for knowledge. I believe you have the potential to become my apprentice.
Wait... Uhhhh.... Who's..... Veronica De Barge?
"Veronica De Barge is my aunt, a renowned explorer and archeologist.
