[Dorian is slightly confused about why someone would put a communication on a tag for their dog, or why Hermione is wearing dog tags either. He brushes past it, however, as he is more interested in how they'll develop this.]
Oh, yes! Word of mouth will no doubt spread it far. [Curiously, he has to ask:] Will you give such devices to natives, should they ask it? Others outside the court?
[ Hermione lifts her own compass from around her neck - it looks more like a pocket watch, really, until she snaps it open and the dial becomes visible - and waves her wand, an exact copy resting in it's place. ]
The duplication spell won't have transferred the magic, so we can start from scratch. How dos that sound?
[Dorian looks the compass over, turning it this way and that. The look of it will surely serve, something he can wear and hide away, if he needs to. So he offers her a brief nod and sets it back before them.]
[And then—] Shall I call you Professor Granger now?

Of course. A few of my friends from the other court already have them and I don't see any reason why we should limit ourselves.
[ She offers him a small, pleased smile. ]
If they can get to us, where we are, to get one? They've earned it.

It will be interesting to see who comes to acquire them. [He offers her a smile.] And I may need to be your first customer.

[ And then she gives him a look. ]
You're doing me a favour, Dorian. How about instead we work together to make yours so I can show you the magic?

[Like a puppy who sees another dog across the street, Dorian has no sense of a leash.]

[ So cute. Beaming, she shifts around the table. ]
Do you want it to be now?
no subject
[Excuse him as he shuffles his chair an inch closer to her. His over-courteous language makes up for his lack of manners in movement, right?

[ It's not as though the spell is too difficult. First, though - ]
Do you have something you'd like to enchant? Flat surface for video, remember.
no subject
The only thing I would seem to have is my sword.
[Which seems awkward.]

Hardly. I'm not a teacher. Just Hermione will do, really, Dorian.
