Robert Jr. carefully took a small, rectangular gold plate from the bag he carried.
He also took out an engraving tool, then slid the single chair in the room, making it creak.
He flipped the chair over, making its surface a temporary workbench.
He took the wall lamp and placed it on the chair, focusing the light.
Then, he began to engrave a foreign alphabet symbol that meant [LUCY] onto the gold plate.
Using the alphabet from the spellbook, he would give that name to his half-sister when she was born.
When finished, with precise movements, he gathered the engraving shavings into a small container in his bag.
He closed the container, locked it, and put it back into the bag.
Robert Jr. held the gold plate.
He lifted it to eye level, gazing at the glittering engraving.
A soft smile formed on his face, a smile he rarely showed.
