Emily's poor economic background was not something she advertised but when Markus clarified, and they reached some kind of common understanding, she suddenly sensed there was something of a gulf of personal experience between them.

She found it amusing enough to rag on him about it. “Also... That's something your sister got for you. I wouldn't enchant a sentimental item unless I knew the spell back to front.” Emily had enchanted her grandmother's hair comb, but that was only after weeks of research and testing.
