[After being here for about nine days, Presea had finally settled down. Or had lost some of the uneasy that came with coming here. She'd gone out of her room a few times, but spend most of her time behind a locked door. It was about time to change that, after all she wouldn't get anything accomplished doing so.]

A blacksmith.

Is there one in town that would allow someone to use it's forge without working there. [Not that she'd mind doing so.] Or a forge that can be used by anyone.

[a beat]

Is there any work or help that a [she's not actually a kid, but since she looks like one.] child to do? I don't want to sit around doing nothing.

It's hard to explain, so I'm sorry if I confuse you. It's more like... Time doesn't really flow here. That this place exists outside of a normal time stream.

I understand.

[By now she's on her way to the blacksmith.]

You've been here six years?

...Yeah.

It must be hard having a loss for so long. [She knows that she doesn't want too.]

My loss... Wasn't terrible. If I had what I lost, I'd be able to protect more people here, but I don't think that kind of thought should stop me. Even if it took my most precious thing away, it's life. There's always loss.

[She's... not really looked at it like that before, however she can't bring herself to think like that. There might be a spark of jealousy for a moment.]

That is one way to think about it.

Are... you at the Blacksmith right now?

[It took him a while to accept it after his brother died]

I am on my break right now, actually... Did you already arrive?

[maybe someday she'll actually accept it too.]

I'm outside.

[if he knew, he hopes that she will]

Okay, I'll there soon.

[And she'll wait awkwardly outside the door, just... watching for the door to open.

[once he gets there, he spots the girl in front of the door, and clears his throat]

You're the one from the castle who wanted a job here...?

[Presea turns to him with a nod before walking over.]

Yes, to at least be able to use the forge.

It might take a while to convince the boss, but I'm sure he'll be okay with that when you prove yourself.

[A content expression and a nod.]

How do I prove myself?

Show him you can lift heavy objects and stay in the heat for hours.

I can do that. [She's like an ant, lifting 100 times her weight.]

When do you think will be a good time?

Hm... Maybe in two days? I'll need to tell him first and argue if he doesn't want to take you in at first.

[a beat] You will do that for me?

I know how hard it is to get some respect around here with a young body. It took a while for me to get the job too.

And besides... It could be fun.

Yes, everyone still treats me like a child. [though that's because she has yet to tell anyone her true age.]

Fun? Yes, it could be.

That's because they don't know you. When they do get to know you, they'll start to treat you differently.

We could use an extra hand getting a lot of work done so there's more time to do personal projects.

[They'll start to treat her differently.., more like an adult.]

I would like that.

I'm not the expert on weapons, but I will try in any way I can. [That is.., if the owner even lets her.]

We don't just do weapons. There are a lot of other things people need blacksmiths for, like horseshoes and farming tools.

[She perks up slightly.]

I can do that, I know several types of charms from back home.

That's good! If you'd like, I can even introduce you to the silversmith.
