Chloe had no real comprehension of personal space or privacy and so started to casually wander around behind the blacksmith as he set to work on her steel rods, looking around to see if there was anything interesting. 

“Is it?" she replied as he commented on the design for the rods. She had never really considered the design to be anything special, but then again it was hardly her field of expertise. She let the comment about Donat slide though as she had no reason to talk against him either, not yet anyway. If he had machinations of power that was his business. Only once she talked with this Hazeal women would she make up her mind about the prime minister. She picked up a small hammer from a desk and turned it around in her hands experimentally. It was light and looked well used.

“A family reunion, I guess,” Chloe replied non-committally as she put the hammer back down where she had found it. She spun around to face the blacksmith as he worked and with her hands planted behind her waist she leaned toward him with a quizzical look on her face. “But an adventure huh? That's a pretty bold thing to do if you don't mind me saying so.” Whether he minded her asking or not was clearly not an issue for her. Chloe looked at him for a moment before looking at the contents of his workshop. “Are you any good with any of these?” she asked, indicating the products of his craft.
