I have access to forges. If anyone's weapon needs sharpened or reinforced before we leave, it isn't much trouble.

I also have a fair bit of spare steel now, if there's a need for custom weaponry. Of course, I don't have the materials to manage anything enchanted, but I'm a moderately skilled blacksmith otherwise.

Hm. I should have the wire finished within two or three days.

Gratitude.

( A pause, then — )

It is... distressing to see you returned. ( ...ah, but even he can hear that. ) Sundered from home.

[bearshermark]

[A soft sigh]

I'm all right. I was at loose ends, anyway.

[downswing]

...idle?

[bearshermark]

[He hesitates; the one-word question doesn't seem to invite an involved answer]

We can discuss it over tea, if you like.

[downswing]

...so fragile?
