> Pull out a Seed and perform the chicanery necessary to make the apron look and feel like the capelet while hiding the seed's presence in the thing as best as possible.

>You pull out the seed and stroke it's little snakey head with your fingers. It shifts and quivers in your grasp for a moment, before raising its head and looking toward you expectantly. You bring it forward, and softly whisper into its ear what you want it to do, while focusing on the item in your mind. Typically, a fairly detailed job like turning the apron into a specific item like that particularly capelet would be a long and arduous thing to express. But, with the capelet here, it is much easier to show the seed what you need. Once you feel the order has been properly received, you lower the serpent and let it slither onto the apron. It quickly hides itself in a pocket, and the apron's form grows hazy for a moment, as though you were looking at it through bleary eyes, before it shifts and changes into a perfect replica of the capelet.
>You obtain: Disguised Apron

> Allow ourselves a small grin for a job well done. As usual.
> Return the real capelet to its previous location in the bedroom, then come back to the kitchen, carefully fold the disguised apron and pick it up.

>You grin. What else did you expect?
>You put the real capelet back where you found it, lest you get into some kerfluffle and mix it up with the Disguised Apron, then return to the kitchen and fold the Disguised Apron carefully before picking it up. The weight different between the two was small but noticeable, this feels as though it weights a tad bit more than it original capelet, but you doubt anyone else would notice unless they also compared the two.

>You leave the house with goods in hand. Renko is sitting on a padded bench under one of the trees, while Cirno is trying to pick up a large metal disk laying in the yard, with no success.

>"I dunno," she says, as she balances her heals on the opposite part of the disk and throws her weight against it again. It wobbles a little bit, but nothing else.
