He turns to Kreyu. "I am afraid I must ask you to depart for a time, Shadow Spinner. A work such as I will attempt is a delicate thing when it is being made, and your innate magic may disrupt its structure."

Kreyu nods, "I had wondered if that might be so."

He nods. "My brother has offered his hospitality and wishes to speak with you." He smiles. "It may be just as well that he has offered you his hospitality. I have no doubt that I can forge the boon, but binding it to living flesh will likely take my brother's touch as well as my own craft."
