[Attached are two pictures. The first is of restored saddle and tack, the leather looking almost brand new, and a set of horseshoes. The second is of a fine silver and emerald rapier laid out on a table as well as a matching scabbard. All of these items have been crafted to Jusis' specifications.]
I still need my gas forge installed as well as electricity. Do you know of anyone on the app who would be able to help with that?
no subject
I would recommend you talking to Varian. I imagine he'd find that a challenging enough project. Just don't let his age fool you. He's created a portal that brought dinosaurs into the modern day once before.
That being said, I would like to test how the rapier feels, if you don't mind. Once I've determined that, I'll let you know my final verdict.
[Granted, he has his verdict right now, but... again. He wants to be thorough. He won't disrespect a master craftsman by looks alone.]
no subject
[Jesus Christ.]
He sounds... precocious. [Sounds familiar.] I'll contact him.
Of course. I have it right now if you want me to drop it off. The tack is in the stables near where the forge is.
[Very nice of the Hudson Construction guys to work that fast. Blade definitely wasn't intimidating them by sitting there waiting the whole time.]
no subject
[Jusis will tactfully not call Blade out for being the exact same this time. Mostly because he needs to verify that claim.]
I believe it would be best if we met at the stables in Hyrule, then. I have the day off.
no subject
In that case, I will make my way there. Unless you have objections.
[Even if Jusis doesn't show up immediately, he basically lives here now.]
Text --> Action
[The best part about being of the Light element is that Jusis can teleport to the Hyrule gate. Once he's clocked out to lunch, he teleports there and steps inside, only to teleport to the stable.]
Blade?
no subject
He only looks up when he hears his name. He tucks the pencil behind his ear and rolls up the plans for some other thing in a hurry.]
Jusis. [He holds the scabbard out for him to take. His left hand, as usual, is bandaged.] Tell me what you think.
no subject
He takes the scabbard and steps a safe distance away to draw the rapier. The blond tests the weight with the expertise of a skilled fencer, and then faces away from Blade to go through a simple routine of fencing moves. He finishes with an elegant flourish before sliding it back into its scabbard.]
It's a beautiful weapon, and it's even better than I had been expecting in terms of balance and speed. I'll be sure to put it through its paces.
[Jusis turns to face the other man and gives an approving nod with a very small smile.]
We would be honored to commission you exclusively for your services. Once we're outside of Hyrule, I'll send you your payment.
[From the tone of his voice, he's not taking no for an answer.]
no subject
Good. I've already tested the steel. It shouldn't fail you.
[He places a hand on his hip, obviously about to argue the issue of payment, but Jusis' look makes him stop before he even begins. This is not a fight he's gonna win, is it? He should just be happy he has a contract.]
... Thank you.
[He walks over to the wall where the saddle and tack has been rejuvenated and restored.]
Here is the other task you had assigned. The repairs weren't as significant as they appeared at first. I resewed the parts that had deteriorated, and reinforced the areas that had begun to wear.
no subject
He follows the other man to where his tack is. The blond listens attentively as he examines each piece critically. All in all, the equipment looks like he's just bought it while still retaining character. Jusis gives an approving nod.]
I had suspected it was mostly damage from continued use, but it's good to be sure.
[His riding school was extremely comprehensive, to be fair.]
You've impressed me. [Jusis looks at Blade.] I look forward to seeing you improve your craft further. I get the sense you're not one to rest on your laurels.
no subject
You're right. [You think he got these bags under his eyes by getting healthy amounts of sleep? Please.] Even being hospitalized didn't stop me. If I'm not creating, I'm thinking about creating. That's just the kind of person I am.
I've already discovered I can make weapons with magic, but conjuring them isn't a permanent solution. I'll be using that ability to prototype weapons while I study Spirit Realm materials. In the meantime, feel free to bring me your weapons and armor if they need seen to, even if it's something magic. Experience is the best teacher and I intend to learn all I can.
no subject
That's quite the creative use of that ability. I look forward to your newest creations. I'll let the others on the team tell you what weaponry they use.
[All in all, he's very satisfied with Blade's skills.]
Ah, yes, before I forget. If you do contact Varian for his assistance, let him know that he'll be compensated for his work. I'll discuss the matter with POKEGO. If there's anything else?
no subject
I appreciate it. I need to get started as soon as I can.
[Need, he says.]
I will. If he insists he'll work for free, I'll tell him that he needs to argue with you instead.
[He smirks a tiny bit.]
That's all.
no subject
Hmph, very well.
[Jusis sounds faintly amused. He nods, though.]
Then I shall leave you to it. Let me know if you need anything.
[And the blond will stride out to put his tack away before taking his leave. Back to work he goes!]
