[Gladio considered his words, and regarded Regis carefully for a long moment, before he spoke again.]
There was... someone I cared for. On the train. Someone I wanted to protect. I was able to request a certain amount of metals and commission an elf friend of Tony's, Feanor, to make something for me. I'd just expected it to be a thing that this person could wear and remember me... Feanor imbued it with his magic. Told me that when it was worn, the person would more than remember me, they'd sense me. As a protective presence...
[As he listens to Gladio's story, Regis' eyes widen, his expression becoming one of awe.]
That is incredible! Not only did he put some of himself into the gift through his work on it, he put part of you in as well. [The only other thing that Regis knows of that could be considered similar is the Ring of the Lucii, but it is obvious that this item was made without binding Gladio's soul to it.]
[When his thoughts where pulled away from his memories and back to the issue at hand, Gladio turned away from Regis to glance toward his shoulder. He sat up a bit, shifted his arm and experimentally rolled his shoulder to test how much movement he had in it. Then he smiled.]
Better. Nothin a hot bath and some rest won't fix the rest of. This thing worked wonders.

[How interesting and now he has a name. Glorfindel. It sounds just as beautiful as Tony's description of them has been.]

[And no, very much not binding his soul, just an impressive kind of elf magic that had left him indebted to Feanor.]

[But that is okay. Some things are just like that. Unique. One of a kind.]
How are you feeling? Is your shoulder loosening up any?
