Artemisios raised her hand to his lips, pressing a light and entirely proper kiss to the back before standing and drawing her up with him. "You may choose any quill from my shop, schönes. Consider it a gift, a small token of my gratitude." He released her hand, but continued to watch her with his dark, heavy-lidded gaze. She had only reaffirmed through this visit his first thoughts upon meeting her. She would do nicely.

Cleo rose her gaze to his, the corners of her eyes crinkling slightly as she smiled properly for the first time during their meeting. "That is very kind of you Sir" she said softly, inclining her head in gratitude. She smoothed a crease in the skirt of her dress and waited to see if there was anything else to discuss before she left. She held steady under his intense gaze, her mind wandering through thoughts as to why it was so focused.

Artemisios walked Cleo to the door, pausing again to lift her hand to his lips. Then he opened the door, a few words to his associate that Miss Frost should receive any quill she wished. He released her hand, saw her out, then turned back into his office, already deep in thought.

Cleo smiled, her gaze full of warmth for once as she left Herr Snow's inner sanctum and began choosing which quill she wanted. She wandered idly around the shop until one quill caught her eye. It was a deep russet in colour, with ripples of a brighter scarlet and gold running through it. She smiled as she picked it up, with a nod to the men she left the shop, but her eyes were still full of worry. She still had the wand clutched in one hand.
