New Titles
When Thea used her enchantment talent, a window had popped up showing all the different types of enchantments. Normally this wouldn't have happened but Thea's [Status Screen] had acted like a cheat, portraying all the different enchantments that were within her capabilities.
The three options Thea had decided on were: [Binding], [Self Repair] and [Life-Steal].
For someone like Mia who didn't have infinite defense, having a passive method of regaining her vitality, thus letting her fight for longer periods of time.
Thea felt that 3 enchantments was the limit for mithril, and unless she increase the grade of the metal, the amount of enchantments she could add wouldn't change.
After finalizing her decision, she amassed her mana again and 3 repetitive times, 1000 points of mana were quickly depleted before they returned just as fast. The dagger glowed a bit before it returned to normal, Thea then repeated the process on the other dagger and when she was finally done, she inspected the daggers.

[Effect: Self Repair (When the item isn't actively losing durability, it's durability will automatically return to full over a period of time.)]
[Effect: Life-Steal (When damage is inflicted upon an opponent, a small percentage of their vitality is transferred to the user.)]
'Not bad… not bad at all, but what were those three notifications that popped up while I was working?' Thea asked herself, remembering the notifications she had paid no mind while she was crafting the daggers.
Thea then opened her status.

'3 new titles huh?' Thea thought baffled.
She then inspected the 3 new titles, curious about their description and effects.
[Master Blacksmith: The highest level of blacksmithing, when one can masterfully craft a weapon without a hammer and fire. |Effect: Blacksmiths will show an increased affinity towards you, blacksmithing skills consume 25% less mana.|]

'Interesting, I finally have a normal title.' Thea thought happily to herself.
From the three new titles she received, only the last one provided some actual use as she didn't use blacksmithing nor crafting skills.
How she had received these titles… well Thea had already guessed how. For the blades she made she received the blacksmith title, for the strands of hairs she tied to the handles she received the craftsman title. The only thing that confused Thea was the last title, although it was the most useful, how she got it was a mystery.
In reality people need to learn each individual enchantment and the incantation to use it, Thea had her [Status Screen] show all the enchantments and with her [Language Talent] the incantations simply became the name of the enchantment for Thea. This meant that without Thea knowing, she had learned hundreds of enchantments and the 'incantations' behind them.
Instead of thinking about it, Thea ignored it and looked opposite the campfire at Mia who was staring back at her strangely.
"Mia come over here." Thea said playfully as she tapped the ground next to her.
Mia hesitated a little before she stood up, walked over to Thea and sat next to her.
"Give me your hand." Thea said in the same playful manner as she held her hand out.
Mia didn't refuse and put her hand in Thea's. Thea then extended a hair tendril and pricked Mia's finger, Thea then put the daggers under Mia's finger and let two drops of blood drop on each dagger.
When the blood drops had dropped Thea lifted the pricked finger and put it in her mouth as she sucked lightly. Thea briefly enjoyed the sweet flavor before she licked the finger and removed it from her mouth, then she looked up at Mia.
Mia was staring at Thea with wide eyes and a mouth open wide enough for a goose egg to fit inside. When Mia's thoughts finally caught up with everything that had happened in the span of a few seconds, she quickly pulled away her hand and turned away.
From where Thea was sitting she could just she Mia's blushing cheeks. What wasn't hidden were her twitching ears and swaying tail.
Thea giggled and tugged at the end of Mia's tail making her yelp.
"Why don't you check out the daggers I made for you?" Thea said as she put the daggers on the ground in front of Mia.
"H-h-huh? But you used all that mana, a-are you sure you want to give them to me?" Mia asked shyly.
"What would I do with these daggers? They aren't of any use to me. If you want to thank me, just let me pet you." Thea said with an evil grin as she looked at the cat-girl turned away from her.
"… Alright, thank you for these amazing daggers." Mia said as her eyes sparked as she held the daggers.
"Don't worry about it, in the end I am the one who won in this trade." Thea said as she got behind Mia and started scratching her hair next to Mia's cat ears.
Mia didn't mind much, her ears were sensitive but it was bearable, instead she took out a stone from her inventory which glowed softly and touched the daggers with it.
Thea didn't care about what Mia was doing, instead she was enjoying herself while grinning evilly.
'Hehehe, I never stated for how long I was going to be allowed to pet you for.' Thea thought.
In the world they lived in it was rude to touch non-humans anywhere that made them non-human, and now Mia had just given Thea permission to touch her whenever she wanted.
