Emameia was walking down the a street in the elven capital, having just been payed for the most recent job she had completed for the adventurers' guild, when a golden ring, sitting in a display window, caught her eye.
It seemed to almost glow when light fell on it in a certain way. She could tell that it was most likely magical and was surprised when she noticed that it wasn't any more expensive than the other jewelry being displayed.
'They probably didn't notice that the ring is enchanted.' Any enchanted item would've normally been far too expensive for her to afford.
She immediately went inside and, after ensuring it wasn't cursed, told the woman behind the shop counter that she wanted to buy the ring.
"Would you also like us to make the hole?" Emameia was taken aback "Make the hole?"
"Yes, we also do piercings, so i can put the nosering in for you. We also use a small amount of a special potion, that not only heals you, but guarantees that the hole won't close." The woman smiled at Emameia, though that did little to reassure her.
'It's a nosering?! I don't want to get my nose pierced, but it might seem weird if i refuse, and i don't want her to notice that it's enchanted...'
Emameia hesitated a moment before agreeing. 'I guess a magical item is worth getting a piercing for.'

A few minutes later, Emameia walked out of the store with a shiny golden nosering.
