Forging a #knife with my 12 year old Jorrie. She has good hammer form already. She wanted to make her knife like a @biltsharp mini cleaver. I'm excited to see how it turns out! #thepxsmith #blacksmithintraining #raisingchildren #dadtime #hammertime #bladesmith (at Pixel Smith - Josh A.

[A small smile appears on his face at her remembrance, before nodding once to confirm her words.] Sure has been quite a while hasn't it been Miss Elli? [Blinks at her curiosity, before nodding once.] Ah-- I live out in Mineral Town, little country bumpkin town, [Shrugs.] but I like it none the less.

[Brings her hands together, willing Gray a smile full of delight. She nods her head attentively.] Mineral Town? How lovely. ♥ I’ve heard that it is quite a peaceful town. I’ve been meaning to take a look at it myself someday. [Lowers her hands to fold them neatly in front of herself with a polite expression.]

It’s wonderful to see you again, Gray. Shall I show you to the back where those rusty pots and pans are? [Begins walking towards the storage room, beckoning for him to follow.] I’m sure they’ll be happy to see you too, hee hee. ♪

@My main man Gray

Kai smiled as he walked a step and a half faster until he was side by side with Gray.  Shrugging at Gray's question, he smirked casually. "Eh, you know me. Around."  He brought a hand up and gave his friend's shoulder a hearty pat. "What about you, dude? How's the whole blacksmith thing going?"

[peanut-butter-elli]

A-ah .. [Tilts his hat slightly forward.] Yeah, it's Gray. [Raises his gaze once more, though catching a wave of familiarity.] -- Though I believe I've seen you before .. [Raises a brow and tilts his head; though waving a hand in front of him once speaking the comment.] Not to sound weird or anything .. But you worked at the town hall right? In Waffle Town? [Hand holds his chin.] ... Elli right?

Eh? Yes, I am Elli. I did work in Waffle Town before… [Bats her eyelashes in escalated recognition, before both brows raise atop her forehead in surprise.] That’s right— you are the young man who had an internship there with Mr. Cain. I remember now! My goodness, time certainly flies, doesn’t it? And what a small world.

[The corners of her lips pull into a benevolent smile.] It’s a pleasure to see you again, Gray. Seems as though it has been a while since we last met.

[Starts walking around the counter.] If you don’t mind me asking, where is it that you live now?

[peanut-butter-elli]

[Waves a hand, assuring he wasn't waiting long.] A man named Jeff called for our services? [Pauses; noting the girl probably might not know what he was talking about.] -- I'm a blacksmith ma'am. [Tips the bill of his hat.] Heard some of your cooking pots were rusted through - I came to get them from ya.

The rusty cooking pots? [Bats her eyelashes thoughtfully several times, before she recalls the letter that Jeff had sent her not too long ago. He had left a memo about a blacksmith coming in.] Yes, that's right. I'm sorry, it seemed to have slipped my mind. Jeff did mention you stopping by.

[Tilts her head to the side, a polite smile emerging.]

You must be Gray, is that right?

[raven-reborn]

[Walks up to the counter with his hands in his pockets, though retracting one to wave a hand - to assure her it was nothing of the sort.] Nah -- I don't need an order. My boss sent me over to be trained on in terms of making swords. [Hand to his chin, he tilts his head.] You work here?

Oh… so you’re a blacksmith too then?  [Stands up straight as she had been leaning on the counter the entire time]  When it comes to making swords, Gaius definitely is one of the best, but… I’m not entirely sure when he’ll be back.

[Nods her head]  Yeah, I work here.

[raven-reborn]

Ah -- [Looks up, slight surprise evident on his features.] Mmm, I heard there's a blacksmith named Gaius works here in Sharance .. Is he in?

You heard about Gaius…?  [briefly wonders how anyone could hear about the blacksmith of such a small town before shaking her head in response to his question]  No, he’s not here.  What… What did you need him to do?  I can write down your order… if you want.

[peanut-butter-elli]

[Walks into the bakery; eyes searching around since no one seemed to be behind the counter at that time.] .. ? [Walks up to the counter with a quirked brow, though then both raising in surprise once the girl came around from the back.] Er-- Excuse me.

[Walks out of the kitchen with a tray of freshly baked chocolate eclairs and a bounce in her step. She hums brightly to herself, before noticing Gray off to the side.] Oh! Hello there. ♪

[Sets the tray down on top of the counter and quickly scurries  to where her customer is.]

I’m sorry to have kept you waiting. How may I help you today? ♪
