And you say it was under my nose the whole time? Amazing how some things get forgotten so easily.” She reaches out to touch it, but quickly recoils her hand. “Oh, so this is why you brought it to me? And here I thought it was a token of friendship.” She frowns. “That,” she says, pointing at the artifact, “is a clear case of bad gifting.
