I'm so happy for you, the fallen angel smiled and Kahlua felt drawn into her. Kahlua could not help the feeling, Resplendence was charismatic and charming despite her lack of confidence. And even if she was uncertain of herself, Kahlua was hardly astute enough to notice. Bobbing her head at Resplendence's acceptance of the place she had chosen as home, Kahlua nickered softly. She took pleasure in the fact that Resplendence was so accepting of the friendship she was trying to forge here. After all, Kahlua only wanted everyone to like her. A simple enough goal, she hoped.

Oh, it's gorgeous! The words might as well have been a Nobel Prize. Kahlua beamed. “You're welcome,” she offered in return, rather pleased with herself. Her hard work had not been in vain after all! The gentle nudge on her shoulder only reaffirmed her self-satisfaction and she arched her neck and shook out her mane just a little bit. There was nobody around that she needed to look especially good for at the moment but she felt pretty and so she wanted to look pretty. What else can you make? the fallen angel inquired, and Kahlua blurted out over her just a little too quickly, “Anything!” but she quickly quieted herself to listen to what else Resplendence had to say.

“Of course, of course!” she picked up as soon as the fallen angel left off, already imagining swirling designs in her head. A necklace? No, it was too simple for the pink beauty before her. A bracelet would do much better. And to honor the Edge, what else where there but Dragons? The place practically screamed scaled beast when you walked up to it. She had the idea in her head before she even had time to fully understand what it was. Eying the mare's forelimb for size, Kahlua started to call upon the mists and then stopped short. “First, you have to tell me what makes you happy!” The words were reminiscent of one of their first conversations. But even in her tired state, she did not wait for Resplendence's response. She was certain the mare would honor her only request. “And hold still,” she added at the end.

Closing her eyes to clarify her picture, Kahlua then opened them and began to call upon the mists around her. Slowly but steadily they accumulated, piling into one another and condensing until they were solid. The thing formed directly around the mare's leg, if she did not move. It was best she didn't, Kahlua could not imagine the thing would be easy to slip on off over her hoof. The glass was as clear as could be hoped for, the dragon's tail forming a spiral that went from low to high. At the top, the dragons body, smoke puffing from it's nostrils. And with two of the left over stones that were still in the area, the eyes were formed. It did not take very long, no more than an hour or so, but the entire time was worked in silence. Kahlua found she was afraid to talk while working, should the speech somehow ruin the glass. With a satisfied nod, she then looked to the fallen angel. Did it fit her standards?
