"Uuuh..." Nate replied with his mouth agape when he heard about the copper. "No. Er, lem-lemme uh clean up man." Bending down to move the copper to a less dangerous place, in the process revealing ye olden plumber's crack, Nate paused for a moment before hearing a loud clang. He blinked at the creature before shrugging and moving the copper aside. "Yeah, uh, wasn't sure what to do with it." Nate rambled aloud, "Y'know? Not quite the right stuff for a proper thing, mean it'll work, but you know." Nate focused on Aldous while blowing out some mucus that was firmly placed in his sinus. He snorted it back up as he smiled towards Aldous, "Ah yes! I must regale you with the songs of my people and the spoils they have! And in exchange for my tales, you can inform me of the Van Rees heritage!" Nate looked from side to side as he held his right hand to cover his mouth. "In character of [i]courssssee[/i]" He said as a spray of split flew from his teeth towards Aldous. "Feel free to tell me your out of character name later." "Oh right, something I need to check." And so Nate checked on how far the gold was coming along in the furnace. It seemed like it was the proper condition to start shaping. So he grabbed a pair of tongs and moved the molten metal to an anvil and then began smacking it with a nearby hammer to start shaping it into the two handed thing he had in mind. Oh and there was the girl, which he probably should advise. "Be vigilant beast-tamer lest the ways of the beast taint ye! Never falter from the teachings of a civilized world, so adviceth The Exile, Apostate of the Pact of the Blue Quill, Templar Solomon Doveheart of the Stormbearer Isles!" With the blade pounded out, Templar Solomon Doveheart of the Stormbearer Isles moved it to a spot where it could start cooling down. [Hider=Task] 1.) Hammer time for large blade shape 2.) Blade to cool[/hider]
