Hello again blacksmith, and excuse ny tariness. I'm sure you didn't mean after dark when you said after hours. Time ran away from me while I was leading a training session for the new recruits, and their need for correction and discipline turned out to be more dire than I thought. I came as soon as I could, I hope you don't mind me being fresh from the field?
You are quite right about the armor, no harm in letting a professional take a look at it. Would you prefer it say on or should I take it off? I'll admit the heat of the forge makes the latter more appealing, but for this I am yours to command.
After dark suits me just fine, Captain. I know you're very busy getting the hounds in order before your upcoming trip to Bloodhaven. And my, you must've been training them hard today, you're covered in sweat. You must be exhausted
I'd kept the furnaces running in my wait, it's certainly too warm in here for this time of night. Come sit on the stool here, I'll help remove your armour. Hmm, is this your blood or a foes? I can tell you like for it to linger on your armour, you've got some little rust spots here. I'll buff these out for you. A smart enemy will exploit these spots, and I'd hate to see such a wonderful body come to harm
Speaking of, let's get this chainmail off and get you measured up. Am I allowed to touch your chest, Captain? I'd be happy to take my own tunic off if it would make you more comfortable
