(Anyone? lol I'm waiting for you guys to catch up, I type paragraphs and I don't want ya to have to read through too much)

[LotisLust]

(Sigh, bah! is a dieing RP ~sadness)

Saypeth waited for a few more minutes, looking up at the snowy sky, until the blacksmith walked out to see who had been standing by his shop. Saypeth turned her attention to him as he spoke.

"Ah, there ye are. Wonderin' when I'd see ye again. Ya know people sayin' some strange things about ye around in town." He fiddled with his long black beard and set down the heavy mallet he carried to strike pieces of hot metal. He was a round man and gave a comforting chuckle every now and again when he talked.

Saypeth sighed, "Well that I could have guessed. People always say strange things about me. One gets used to it after a while." She enjoyed talking to the smithy; he was always in a cheery mood, but hearing that some new rumor about her was being spread around wasn't a surprize.

"Well ye aren't a spirit easily broken I'd assume by that kind of a remark. So what can I help ya with today?"

[Prophet]

Vannah, in her human form, made her way to the blacksmith. He had known her for a long while and knew exactly was she would need the moment she said 'material'. Althogh, when she got to his placement, he wasent alone. Another person was there with him, a female. ~Sister? Cousin?....Girlfriend?~ Vannah thoght to herself not wanting to interfear with the conversation.

Saypeth flipped open the bag she was carrying. "I found more of these bizzare metal shards in our storage rooms below ground and I was wondering if you could help me piece them back together. I'd like to know what these scraps used to look like."

The smithy picked up a piece of the obviously worn metal 'scraps' from the bag and held it at different angles to see what it may have been once upon a time when it was in tact. "Well Missy there no rust on this here piece and from the looks of the others none on them neither." He held the shard flat in his hand out so Saypeth could see it. "Not only is it shattered metal, but it's flat..." He pointed out and paused, looking up at her. "An' I know yer not a dumb girl."

Saypeth studied the piece with a stern look; it wasn't a look of interest, more of consern. She knew what he was getting at.

The smithy straitened his back looking over the piece, weighing it in his hand as he continued, "The only reason someone'd got through tha' trouble to make metal this flat is if-"

"They were making a sword." Saypeth interupted out of turn but still in her tone there was only consern. Something troubled her about learning this. It was peculiar finding a shattered sword made with metal of this nature under her mansion in the old wine celler and more pieces in other stone rooms.

"Exactally." The smithy handed her back the piece.

She placed it in her bag and closed the flap on the bag over top of it to conseal the shards. 'This must have been a massive sword if these pieces are so heavy.' She paused to think. "Gus could I leave this here with you to repair, if you can. It doesn't need to be battle ready, just pieced back together. I'll pay you for it as well."

"Sure thing, but I dun be needing much for it. Doing fine with fiances an' all." He pointed over by the anvil in the corner. "Ya can set 'er right over there and I'll get started on it." He smiled.

"Thank you. I may stop by to help if I can find the time." She grined slightly and walked over to set down the heavy bag.

Gus looked out into the street thinking about the coming storm of snow and caught sight of a figure in the light flutter of snow just outside his shop. He recognized her after pondering for a few moments and waved, "Vannah!" He waved again, beconing her over. "What challenges in metal-working do you bring on this 'er fine day?" Which was his spriteful way of asking what she needed.

[LotisLust]

(Anyone? lol)

[Prophet]

"Nothing much." Vannah asured. "Simply some materials. " She said cheerfully, the same way she normally did. Thogh quickly her happy,and cold, attention move the the other female in the shop. Greeting her with with the kind words "Hello Ma'Am." Followed by a small bow.

[LotisLust]

( Yays! :3 )

Gus gave a hearty smile, "Sure thing Miss. But which materials will you be needin'? I'll check the back to make sure I 'ave them 'ere."

Saypeth acknowledged Vannah with a less formal bow but bent her waist and dipped her head down in an eloquent fashion. She pondered why the girl had been so polite as to show respect to a stranger. Normally human beings just ventured about caring for not but themselves. 'Strange of a mortal to be so polite. Bowing I would figure, should be too formal for these times. But polite none the less.' She appriciated a sensible mortal in the world. Still she couldn't find motivation enough to continue looking her in the eye. 'Gus only attracts good people as his customers- infact he didn't tolerate rude ones. So she must be a generally good person.' A light haze seemed to lift from the gloom on her day.

[Prophet]

Vannah smiled at Gus and said, "Simply some light wood,tainted silver, a thin knife, and some feathers if you have them." She said happily, those were the fine,simple ingreadients to her arrows which flew so nicely sliceing threw the air. She looked back to the woman and greeted her again with, "Fine Madem might I ask you name?" She asked as gracefully as posable.

[LotisLust]

Gus nodded happily, "I do believe I 'ave that wood, silver and a knife for you but the feathers I'm not so certian. Lemmie just check for them in the back. I'll be only a moment." He scurried off into the back of his shop behind boxes of scraps and sheets of metal and disappeared from sight momentarily.

Saypeth watched him walk off and looked awy as soon as his shadow vanished. She sighed but heard the other woman speak to her and turned to face her with a delicate stare. "Oh, my name, Saypeth." She paused debating whether to address her with a first and last name. She decided against it 'Not necessary to state my whole name I suppose.' "And yours, if I may ask?"

[Prophet]

Vannah quickly said "Thank you Gus." Even thogh he hadent finished his task.

"My name is Vannah" She said sweetly as the word Vannah rolled off her tounge. "I like your name , Saypeth, it has a strong meaning, yes?" She murmered avedently.
