It is a truth of the Nexus that if you sit still in any one place long enough, sooner or later the entirety of the multiverse will file past. Never is this more true than with the well-dressed broker of dreams and promises, who makes a point of passing as many places as he can, stopping for all that catches his eye.

Hunter's table of sale certainly fits that category, and he affords the boy a smile as he looks over the gifts on offer. "Good afternoon, Mr. Hunter. You have, I see, been quite busy of late."

"Very busy." Hunter smiles with a fondness that is reserved for Schön. "And very inspired."

"Clearly," he agrees, sweeping off his hat. "Whither the cause?"

"For being inspired?" Hunter tilts his head slightly, with a playful smile.

"My journey of self-discovery has led me to some good results."

"I sense a story, and I dare hope it's one in the offing," the thin man observes, trailing a fingertip around an edge of one of the display pieces.

"I am always happy to share my stories with you," Hunter pulls out an extra chair, in case Schön would like to sit down to hear the tale.

"Thank you." Schön sits, hanging his hat on his cane, which stands unsupported beside him. "I'm all ears."

"Kendra came to your Halloween gala evening." Hunter sits down, so he can tell his story. "She wanted to me know that she was going to be leaving from my life. But that a part of her was still going to be in my life."

"I felt her magic in a new way. That perhaps it will be become a part of me."

"Did she? How delightful. I hope she found the evening a congenial one." He listens attentively, allowing an expression of interest at Hunter's conclusion. "Interesting. A passing of the torch, as it were. How does it feel?"

"She seemed to enjoy the evening. She wished she could have met more of my new friends."

"A little weird. There is a lot to learn about who Kendra was, where she came from, and what this means for me."

"A pity, indeed," he agrees.

"The power has brought no knowledge with it? And she has gone elsewhere? Tch." He picks a possibly imaginary speck from his sleeve, flicking it away. "One hopes she has left you guidance in some form, at least?"

"I don't think she is completely gone, but she was still very mysterious about what she was passing onto me."

"She told me to research the Hyperboreans."

((Apologies for the long delay.))

He listens, nodding thoughtfully. "I see. Will you be making a voyage home for that research, or conducting it here?"

(hope all is well)

"I think I might have better luck researching it here. Maybe there are even Nexus residents who know about the Hyperboreans."

(('Tis the season for a heavy workload.))

"Quite possible," Schön agrees. "I may need to look into them for myself. I do try to keep up with the 'who's and 'how's--you'll share what you find?"

"Most certainly. I believe it is important to share knowledge."

"Thank you. I shall be interested to see what you find."

[*flails at everything* Why did I not get a notification about this? I'm so so sorry!]

Verity's pretty much magnetically attracted to a few things, and Hunter is one of them. Pretty things is another, so, no question she'd find him. And given how much Bobbi loves socializing, there was just no hiding. Ver's a good alpha and will let Bobbi take the lead in greeting Hunter. It gives Ver a chance to look over the table a bit while Hunter's dealing with an adorable ball of fluff who wants pets.

"You've been busy." Her tone and smile are both approving. "Finally taking a break from the masterpiece?"

[Because the notifs went on holidays?]

Of course Bobbi gets pets. Hunter leans down to greet the ball of fluff at her own level, to give her skritches behind the ear.

He flashes Verity a smile, looking up to meet her eyes. "Well, I am almost finished the masterpiece. So I had the energy and the inspiration to create a few other things."

[Still getting notifs for comments tho. So it's very mysterious!]

Yay pets! Bobbi is so happy now! If Hunter's hand come into reach he'll be getting some pupper kisses.

"So I see. Always busy, aren't you?" Her smile makes the corners of her eyes crinkle up. "Such pretty things you've made. How'd you make these rose petal things?"

Hunter loves puppy kisses. And he ruffles the top of Bobbi's head.

"I used a new technique. I used an acrylic gel, setting the petal into it, until it is dry."

Bobbi loves rufflings, so it's a good deal for both of them. Win-win! Once the people are talking, Bobbi will set about giving everything a good sniffing. There's much to be discovered, and Lucky's been teaching her to be a Pizza Dog Detective.

"Oh? They look lovely. Like jewels." She brushes a fingertip over one of the necklaces before asking, "May I try it on?"

"Sure thing. I am able to customize a necklace, if you end up liking the feel of it."

"Thanks. Customize it?" She picks up one of the necklaces and fastens it around her neck, checking for the feel and where the petal hangs. "Gonna be honest, I'll be needing a bunch of these. For presents."

"Well some people prefer gold over silver, or copper. And I can even tint the acrylic gel to change the colors."

"And I would be happy to take a present order from you."

"I like the silver." She doesn't need to think about it. "And the color. Imma keep this one." And pay for it, don't worry.

"And I'd like, let me think... three more?"

"I am asking $35 for that one."

"Certainly. Anything unique that you would like featured in the other three?"

The price is fair and she nods; she'll pay when they've settled all the other things up, too.

"Could you do yellow petals? Because they're for friends, and blondes." Well, two blondes and a fragment of a goddess of death, but that's a technicality. And since not everyone has her issues with gold... "And gold chains on them, please."

Once she's got the necklace laying flat she shifts her gaze to the pottery. The platters, in particular. "Have any of those big enough for a turkey?"

"I have plenty of yellow roses in my garden. I can do that for you."

Hunter smiles at her next question. "I have a few bigger ones."

"I can even design one, with handles, to make carrying a turkey a little easier."

"Thank you, that'd be perfect."

Ver traces some of the decorations on one of the platters while she considers. "Would there be time to finish it before Thanksgiving, though?"

"Of course there would be."

"Wow, you work fast. Sounds like a plan." She looks over the pottery a bit more closely before pointing to something with a dark berry-colored glaze. "Could you use this color in the design?"

[Sorry sorry! Totally burnt out after having to throw together Black Friday deals from scratch in a week.]

"I sure can. Anything else you would like featured?"

[No worries. Understand how life can take priority]

"I trust your judgment." He's got good taste and his surprises are always happy ones for her. And he's seen her apartment enough to know what'll go with what she has, and what'll stand out in good ways. "Besides, if you let me choose, it'll be all stripes all the time."

"Well you do make stripes look amazing."

"Why thank you." Further consideration has make her think of one more request. "Can you make it feel... nice, for Matt? Colors don't really do much for him..."

"That should be no problem. You can give a pottery piece some very nice textures. I can even do some finer engraving, so he 'sees' the picture by touch."

"That would be nice, thank you. He'd really like that I think." And if he does, Hunter had better be prepared to make a few more things for Christmas.

"I will send over the finished piece over to you."

"If you bring it yourself, I'll make your cookies to cover the delivery fee," she counters with a grin. "Any kind you want."

"That sounds like a sweet deal."

Ver smirks. It's a good pun and she's a little miffed she didn't think of it first. "Good one."

Bobbi is less impressed with puns, being a dog, and as much fun as it's been to visit with Hunter, she wants to go explore some new sniffs now. Ver's got a good hold on her leash, but can't keep the pupper waiting forever. Just long enough to give Hunter a hug. "I should let you get back to it now. Talk later?"

"Of course. Have a great day." Hunter hugs her back.
