An Antiques store might not seem the most intuitive place to find a Fairest seeking Fear, but it was not Glamour that Rhodes was on the prowl for. Many an enchanted item had strayed into the hands of a blissfully unaware mundane dealer, and it certainly paid no harm to check.

The Flowering Fairest smiles.
"So! My dear lovely ladies. Looking for anything in particular?"
