It was curiosity that brought Era to summon her Emerald Carbuncle and see what effect this newfound ability with her emotions might do to her longtime companion. She had seen someone pass her by with something that changed colours based upon one's current emotion, so why wouldn't the same concept apply to her Carbuncle? It was created with her aether, so it only makes sense that her emotions might impact it as well.

She brings the faces of some of her dear ones to mind: Alphinaud, Aymeric, Y'shtola, Haurchefant...

Emerald Carbuncle goes from a beautiful light blue to a shade of red not unlike a Ruby Carbuncle, followed by a light minty-green, a strong navy blue, and a very dark pink.

Further curiosity causes her to think of Zephirin and immediately her Carbuncle turns black, startling her enough that it suddenly turns a dark shade of gold similar to an Amber Carbuncle. Unnoticed by her, the foliage in her immediate vicinity was impacted by her intense flash of anger; once a lively, bright green now a few shades darker, as though left out far too long in direct sunlight.

"...Strange," she muses, voice soft and low. Era drops the intense focus she had on her companion and watches as Carbuncle shakes itself until it's the lively shade of blue she's accustomed to from its Emerald form. When it looks to her its gaze is almost accusatory, prompting her to offer a scratch behind the ears in apology. "I shall refrain from doing that again."

Era isn't exactly worried about her finances for the time being, but having worked with diamonds quite frequently - both crafting with and mining for them - she has a hard time simply ignoring the fact that they're raining from the sky. She notes that there are a fair amount of fakes floating around now that the rain has ceased and is quick to gather only the genuine artifacts, leaving behind the fakes.

She isn't sure what she'll do with them, but she's always been somewhat of a hoarder. Mayhap she could trade them for spare currency to spend on some new fashion items...

Perhaps it wasn't the best idea she had ever had, but despite her stomach's protests Era can't regret trying all the strange new kinds of fruit available to her. Her favourite so far has been the plum she currently enjoys - every bite allows her to blow a brightly coloured bubble from her mouth, which she then delights in popping with a childish glee.

Era decides it's rather fortunate that she has her trusty hatchet and scythe on hand when she's tasked with helping a farmer harvest their pumpkins. She hadn't expected them to be more like Funguars than the pumpkins she's accustomed to, but a quick chase and a swift hack incapacitates the large gourd she targeted.

Supposedly carving a face into it will make it inanimate, but Era finds herself at a loss for ideas of what sort of expression she would like to give it. It's the season of All Saint's Wake here apparently, and a frightening face would be well suited to the holiday...
