At that, Merri grinned and carefully peeled open the bag. He pulled out the pendant, in awe of the bright, brilliant gold. The strap certainly did lend itself to being strapped around the hilt of his rapier as Drake had pointed out for a perfect fit, not to mention that the properties of the pendant was one of the best protections he could imagine having for himself, after had happened in Sagittarius. "Thank you so much! I'll put it on as soon as I get home!"
He knew that he ought to be in the habit of taking his rapier with him everywhere, considering the events of the past... almost a year now, Merri was startled to realize. And he had once been in that habit, but it was nice to have a night without, though this pendant would certainly help to make sure he always had it on him. Just in case.
It was a little sad to think that he once mostly carried it around merely as a fashion accessory, come to think of it.
But Merri kept his smile as he carefully pocketed the pendant so that it would not fall out before he got back to the Tower. Ari as Julianna sounded exactly perfect, and he knew that he would have to clear his schedule for opening night -- and perhaps all the weekends of its run. It was one of his favorites, after all!
"When does it open? Are the rehearsals for the Founder's Play and Romulus and Julianna really going to coincide? Are they that close together?" Then he bit his lip sheepishly. "I mean, if they do coincide, I can't imagine what her schedule must be like, but at least it's something she enjoys doing!"
