[b][center][h3][color=orange] Lein [/color][/h3][/center][/b] [hr] [b][color=orange]Location:[/color][/b] Blacksmith's Forge [b][color=orange]Interactions:[/color][/b] [@Raineh Daze] [hr] Lady of Storms did sound familiar? But had he once known who it actually referred to, Lein had forgotten by now. No doubt it meant something to someone, given that she was powerful enough to send an envoy all the way to put eyes on a lowly knight. And it meant that this third party was at least not someone Lein was currently familiar with, even if by the looks of it Rui fully expected Lein to have a moment of enlightenment. [color=orange]"Greenhorns go out for their usual march in five days, but the instructors would want to get it earlier if you can help it.[/color]" A pretty tall order for this many weapons, Lein could see. No wonder the squire was a little eager to let Lein deliver the weapons for him. [color=orange]"You'd know if you let down that hammer and go out for a drink a little more, yah bloody hoser. You won't even drink yourself to an early grave at this rate."[/color] Lein got to work untangling the mass of blades from the pile, separating them by chipped blades, broken pommels and a skewed balance. He didn't know enough to help out in the actual craft (and even if he did, Lein guessed an attempt to touch the stuff would make Ardor get even grumpier at him), but he was well used to being a second hand. And Lein had good reason to try and butter up to Ardor, above the usual mischief. [color=orange]"[i]Hey, you know Thalnese?[/i]"[/color] Lein offered to Rui in between his playful jabs at the dwarf, [color=orange]"[i]Want me to loop you in? Would be a mighty shame if your Lady would miss the rich secrets of Candaeln's Forge.[/i]"[/color] [color=orange]"Oh, and this is Rui, a friend from afar! An envoy from Lady of Storms, come to have a look around the place. Thought she might like some of your craftsmanship, with her, er - daggers?"[/color] Not entirely true, as even Lein didn't know what she or this 'Lady of the Storms' wanted. But if she was here to be acquainted with Lein's goings on, she may as well be acquainted in this place too, no? She did have quite the strange weaponry with her not quite familiar looking swords, and though he never planned to fight in the first place, perhaps Ardor could elucidate a thing or two. Even better, perhaps the prospect of some new kind of weaponry could perform the rare miracle of actually impressing the dwarf.
