[Dorian Gray has been doing a great deal of growing up. When he addresses the locket, his expression is set firmly, and his famous youth is only in his features. This is war. And he does not wish for death. So he is short, to the point, avoiding all of the excesses of his normal speech patterns.]
I've produced protective stones as a product of my research in warding magic. [He holds up one: a simple stone, with runes carved in, small, lightweight, very portable.] I have made as many as I could as quickly as possible. It will guard the bearer from the first strikes set against them by taking the damage in their stead, but it can only bear so much—up to a broken bone, perhaps, or a deep but non-fatal cut. Still, it is one more chance of survival.
If any wish for one, you may come to me in the library of Caer Glaem, or I can deliver it to you anywhere in Seelie territory.

It is simple in theory, and not so tasking in the magic needed.
video.
That's more modest than I expect from someone with your ability, you know.
[ don't let that go to your head dorian. ]
I've never seen that type of thing before. It's an enchantment of sorts, right?
video.
Yes, a spell based on runes and the creation of sympathy—shared emotions between things.
video.
You create sympathy in the rock.
[ okay then. ]
Re: video.
video.
Yes. But you can turn that response into something else? Something usable?
video.
video.
Is it easy for you?
video.
It takes energy to make the link. But the beautiful theory behind it, that is easy. To feel, completely, how we are connected, how we forge connection, the way emotion and experience hold us together—that it is an easy beauty for me to draw into my mind.
video.
Do you need material? [ if he can produce them then they can protect people; she feels she ought to support him. ]
video.
[Dorian takes up the offer he guesses she will be making with a slight curve of the lips.] In the stones, yes. I could do more with better rocks—anything stronger, more difficult to break, would be able to bear a greater burden—but for mass production, these have served my purpose.
video.
Then, if I find anything good, I'll bring it to you.
video.
But—will you take one for yourself?
video.
You have leftovers?
video.
Your safety is not an afterthought to me, Nabooru.
video.
Well, then how could I turn down such a thing? [ another moment, and her grin tempers. ] Thank you, Dorian.
