Want to look for a place in town later? I found a job, so now it's just a matter of saving up and moving.

[It'd also be a good distraction from Joshua-related things.]

We can have lunch, too. I dunno if you've done much with the baking club yet, but I'll test-run anything. [He's so grinning at that.]

Hey, it's been a while. How are you holding up?

[Lloyd stifles a yawn.]

Would anyone be interested in custom-made furniture or anything like that? I can make smaller objects, like jewelry or keepsake boxes. My dad taught me how to make weapons and armor, but I'm nowhere near as good as he is. Plus, I have no idea where to find a forge...

Materials aren't really an issue, so let me know if you have any ideas.

Oh, there's a black smith in town!

[gentleidealist]

Really? I must've walked right by it. I dunno if he'll let me borrow his forge, though.

[heliotroping.livejournal.com]

[he laughs]

You never know. He might try to rope you into an apprenticeship if he thinks you're good.

[gentleidealist]

An apprenticeship, huh... I'm not that great with making weapons and armor yet, but that's a good way to learn.

I'll look into it. Thanks.

[heliotroping.livejournal.com]

Good luck! It took a while for him to let me do any striking because he thought my arms were too puny...

[gentleidealist]

Yikes. I hope he doesn't say that to me.

[heliotroping.livejournal.com]

I don't think he will. I hate to admit it, but I really am on the small side.

[gentleidealist]

Doesn't matter if you're small or not. Just benchpress him next time you see him.

[he laughs, just a little nervously]

Oh, I couldn't do that...

[gentleidealist]

One of my friends is shorter than me, but she can haul a whole tree by herself. Seriously. Don't feel bad 'cause you're short.

[heliotroping.livejournal.com]

I don't doubt that, but... Have you seen a black smith super angry?

[gentleidealist]

Y...yeah? I mean, my dad's a dwarf. And I made him mad a lot.

[heliotroping.livejournal.com]

[wait, he thought Lloyd's dad was Kratos... Maybe he got the wrong guy after all]

That's why I can't "benchpress" him...

[gentleidealist]

[Welllllllllllll.]

That makes a little more sense.

Maybe I'll put in a good word for you.

[heliotroping.livejournal.com]

Thanks, but I do already work there.
