If this back pain could go away that'd be great.

I can't control stupidity, whether it's online or offline. Anyone who thinks like you just ends up as another statistic.
Still illegal and will result me losing my job
"No worries," Sadon said as he sipped his wine. "I have a cart at home that I can use, and I'm sure Athos will be able to handle the trip no problem. I will return to Riverwood for the night and pack everything I should need, then return in the morning. It shouldn't be too much anyway. I've lived pretty simple for so long that I don't need much to get by." He explained. It wasn't that he didn't trust anybody Elsa could send along. It was just a bit of a sense of pride in being able to do things on his own. But it wasn't as strong as it was with others. Somehow Elsa seemed to change his attitude. This wasn't the same Sadon that most people knew. This was some different. Someone that had only ever been revealed to Elsa.
As the waiter came around to replace the glasses of wine, Sadon kindly refused and requested a simple glass of water. The man returned with his drink, and the blacksmith took a sip before setting it down on the table. It was refreshing to have water again. He didn't drink wine often, and when he did, he didn't have much. Usually he would stop at two glasses, and every once in a while he would have three. But after two that night he figured that would be enough for him.
"So, three months? Well there are quite a few projects that seem fairly simple. Though some of the other ones will take a fair bit of time. I never make a promise I can't keep," he told her, pausing in thought as he rested his hand on top of the notebook. Then he smiled gently at her
"But I will make this promise."
After that he turned to see Kristoff trying to bring Anna on the dance floor. He chuckled softly, wondering how his friend had changed so much. It seemed Anna had that power over him somehow. She had to be the only person he would do anything for. He had never imagined that he would see this day, but it happened. He wasn't the same Kristoff he had known for so long. But he was happy with his life. And that was all Sadon really cared about.

Hmmm, pick up strangers or keep my job? I would prefer to keep my job, also considering I have someone.
Don't worry, I'll alert the dispatcher and authorities, just like I do every time.
Well everyone, working with the railroad can bring in quite a few stories. Some good, some bad. Some exciting, some scary. And then there's the ones you just can't make up. So I figured I'd share them with you as they happen. Won't be sharing them all, but I'll certainly share the ones I feel are interesting!
On the Ground
Well isn't this great as a student conductor? We had a work order to pick up some grain cars from an industry in route, and I was calling the engineer back to make the joint. I had lined, locked, and checked all the switches as required. Derails had been taken off, and I was about three cars from the engines. I told the engineer I'd be getting on in about three, and the joint was in about twelve. Well pretty soon I had to give him the order to stop, and so did my instructor (who was probably about four cars further than me). It turns out the track was wide gauge, and we came off on the switch. Luckily nobody was injured, but the switch had to be taken out of service. Very scary for a student, especially since I was in charge of the movement!
A Hunting We Will Go
So where is the best place to hunt duck? I'll give you a hint - it's not the tracks! Speeding eastward at 49mph, we noticed something ahead on the tracks. It looked like this big orange blob from a distance. As we got closer, we were able to see that it was in fact two people and their dog. My engineer blew the horn, and the dog instantly ran off the tracks. The hunters? Well they just looked at us and casually walked away. And by walking away I mean they just stood about twenty feet away from the tracks as we went by -.- I opened my window and gave them that "what's the matter with you" look. They just smiled like idiots and waved, to which I just shook my head. There's a moral to this story, and it's sad I still need to mention it - Do not play, hunt, walk, run, sit, photograph, or ANYTHING, on the tracks. It is dangerous and can result in death. And if it doesn't, it can end up with very heavy fines. Don't do it. Be safe. Think twice. Stay off the tracks.
Well those are two for me to start off with. Any questions you have about railroading feel free to ask me!
Regards,
Scott

Sadon smiled softly, raising his glass as a small toast to this business agreement. Taking a sip of wine, he thought about Elsa's offer. While it would be nice to work out of his own forge, it would be a hassle to have someone constantly come to get the materials he made. Weighing pros and cons in the back of his mind, he considered the idea of actually doing a bit more work himself. He always liked to keep himself busy, and if he was able to do more than just forge some building materials, he would do so without a second thought.
"If it's no trouble, I'm surprising the forge here would be just fine. Plus, I do like to make sure my work is treated properly," he said, a hint of joking in his voice at his last comment. In the end, he knew that anything he made would wear down over time. Either just by age or by some other sort of force. All he would have to do is go back to Riverwood to get some supplies for staying in Arendelle, and then working would be much easier.
"Now how long do I exactly have to do all this? And when did you want me to start?"
