The sound of tinkering and clanking could be heard coming from the workshop & forge next to Ramshackle dorm.
Vil’s steps were deliberate and careful as he stepped on the metal stepping stones while walking to the forge of the workshop. The heat coming off the large hearth was unbearable to stand but he would if it meant he could ask you for a favor.
“Blacksmith potato.” The clanking continued “Hello?” No response. “I know you can hear me!” Vil shouted over the clanking and banging of a hammer against heated metal. You finally turned around before taking off your goggles and rubbing the sweat off your forehead.
“Ah, Vil! Welcome to my forge! I apologize, I was busy working on a commission from Sebek. How can I help you?” you said, soot and dirt covered your face, Vil sighed before taking out a cloth and gently cleaning your face “Honestly, how do you bear all that dirt and grime on your face?”
You laughed sheepishly before rubbing the back of your head “Aha, my bad. How about we chat over a cup of lemon tea while you talk to me about your request?” Vil nodded “Lemon tea is a fine choice, it's an excellent source of vitamin C, helps with hydration and digestion.”
A small robot named “Timeka” moved diligently as steam rose from the small kettle, the smell of lemons and honey filled the air of the kitchen. Timeka placed the porcelain cups of steaming in front of you both before zooming away to its charging port.
“You certainly have many helpers around here, don’t you?” Vil said while sipping the tea slowly. You nodded with a small smile painted on your face before pulling out a notepad and pencil before turning to him “So what did you come to ask me for? I’d gladly put away all my commissions for you!”
Vil smiled at your comment before pondering for a moment “I noticed you had a little robot in your garden, the one that looked like an elephant. It waters the plants automatically does it not?” you nodded before speaking again “Yes, Mizu waters the flowers and plants in the garden almost every morning and evening.”
You sat your cup of tea down as Vil spoke up again. “I would like two robots of yours, one like Mizu and one that automatically harvests plants and sorts them into containers on my shelves.” you quickly scribbled down the order.
“Okay! I’ll get right on it and I’ll bring them over to Pomefiore ASAP!” You turned away to start working on the robots’ designs as Vil continued sipping his tea before he stood and walked around your dormitory.
The common room of Ramshackle was filled with different types of inventions and commissions from various students and people around the school. He saw inventions that could help with plant growth, inventions that could help with water purification, inventions that could help with recycling, all in the name of helping nature heal and thrive.
It was admirable, he had to admit that. In school full of weirdos or people who only cared about themselves sometimes, seeing someone like you who wished to give back and repay the world around you for simply keeping you alive.
As Vil walked around the dorm, he saw photos from your time at Night Raven, ones with you and your friends, ones with you and some of the other housewardens, but a certain one caught his eye.
The photo had a pale golden swirly frame which was holding a photo of you, him and your friends from the VDC competition last month. He honestly had some fun during those weeks of prep and practice for the competition.
The following morning he received a box and a card from the Ramshackle dorm as Rook brought it inside Pomefiore’s common room. Vil ordered Rook to help him open it to reveal two little robots with your dorm’s logo on the front of their chestplates.
He opened the card which read as follows “Morning, Vil! I spent all of yesterday afternoon and night working on your commission! Meet Mizu and Seisou, your new loyal companions!” Vil ignored the rest of the card and focused on the first line ‘I spent all of yesterday afternoon and night.’
“Foolish potato..” He sighed before turning to Rook while grabbing his bag. “Rook, take these to my room, I have a private matter I must attend to.” “Right away, Roi Du Poison!”
The walk to Ramshackle was quite pleasant and Vil knew the moment he heard clanking and banging you were already working, and so early in the morning as well. It was honestly charming how hard you worked, but this wasn’t good for your health to constantly work without breaks or proper rest.
The smell of iron and smoke lingered through the air of the forge as Vil walked inside, careful of all the inventions and careful to not step in the wrong place. “Blacksmith potato, I know you’re in here.” he stated while looking around before locking his gaze on your sleeping figure at the workbench.
He sighed before helping you stand and while stumbling into the Ramshackle dorm, up the stairs and into your dorm room where Grim was napping in the windowsill as the sun shined into the room. You sleepily climbed into bed as Vil went back downstairs and made you a healthy breakfast of eggs, ham and whatever else he could find in the fridge that wasn’t half-eaten or claimed by Grim.
An hour later you woke up and turned to see a plate and sticky note from Vil, it sorta smelled flowery like him. The sticky note read as follows “Blacksmith potato, thank you for your hard work, now please take the day and rest.”
You smiled at his words before looking out the window and whispered to no one but yourself “Thank you, Vil.”
