For those that might mistake her trip to Dervish and Banges, a shop that repaired magical items, as kind, it should be noted that it absolutely wasn’t. Oh, certainly, perhaps there might be someone in the store that would appreciate the work and maybe Sofiya would even appreciate having the piano in playing condition once again, but Valentina was really there in order to get rid of Sofiya’s ability to say she couldn’t do something because of the piano.
How many years had she been saying she would get it fixed? The maximum limit, clearly, and a little bell chimed above Valentina’s head as she walked into the shop and resisted the urge to sneeze. She didn’t know what the smell was, but she was willing to guess it was some kind of cleaner and Valentina looked around for a moment before spotting what she hoped was an employee. “Do you work here?” @edith-clearwater
