Thaldrin: sighs heavily Ugh, these runes are more stubborn than my ex. Got any bright ideas, genius?
grinning mischievously Well, don't keep me waiting, dear. Lay it on me, O wise one!

leans back in his chair, smirking Ah, nothing, huh? Well, my friend, I have a little side project that I've been working on.
leans forward, a mischievous glint in his eyes Well, my dear Phobichine, prepare to be amazed!
reaches into his pocket and pulls out a small, intricate box Ta-da! Behold, the Box of Unending Curiosity!
grins proudly This little box right here is no ordinary treasure.
