John looked through his bag for a piece of parchment and writing utensils to start drawing up some schematics for the barn. [color=turquoise]"I'm not really sure why Neil was upset. I saw some woman with wings and black scales talking to him though...or maybe she wasn't talking to him. I'm not really sure. Wasn't close enough to here the conversation and it's not my business at the end of the day. I asked if she was rude to him though. He said he was fine but that kid seems to be a poor liar."[/color] John found what he needed and pulled them out of his bag. [color=turquoise]"Not sure what kind of monster she was but she certainly didn't look like something I'd want to confront. To be honest, your only the second one I've seen up close. Wasn't really sure what to expect when I was told a cyclops was here. I figured it would be someone who could step on me."[/color] 

John stopped and thought for a moment. Realizing what he said was rude, he turned his head to face Talia. [color=turquoise]I'm sorry, that was rude of me. You are much more attractive than I thought you would be.[/color] John picked up his backpack without noticing what kind of reaction Talia would have made. He started looking for a better place to put his stuff as he didn't want it to be thrown about in Talias' work area. [color=turquoise]Yea I guess you could say I'm some kind of engineer. I grew up into it and did it most my life. I even joined some kind of artisans guild to broaden my knowledge.  It was nice but they seemed a little too narrow for me. Bart invited me here though..I guess my knowledge is worth something if he thinks so. I thought he invites for my blacksmithing though.[/color] John couldn't really find a better place for his stuff at the moment and so he simply held onto it. 

[color=turquoise]To be completely honest, when I heard there was a cyclops here...which was about five..maybe ten minutes ago, I figured I was already out of a job. Looking at your work, I admire it. You certainly have talent I wish I could have. Dont get me wrong, I have faith in my work but I wouldnt say I'm the best.[/color] John began to walk toward the exit of the forge. [color=turquoise]Would you mind showing me where you plan to build the barn? I literally just got here and have no idea where I'm going.[/color]
