My lord? Your request is finished. I can bring it back to the house with me if you like, or you could come examine it yourself.

To those who requested that items be made, I apologize for the delays- my first order took much longer than I thought it would. I'll begin as soon as possible.

My offer to take commissions is of course still open.

Does anyone have answers in regards to the mass disappearance throughout the village? It seems like most people have returned, but that doesn't help us deal with the situation.

[There's another awkward pause, because he feels bad about being so useless since the whole mess happened, but...]

...Katie? Are you feeling any better?

...It isn't always a good thing.

[Voice]

[markofthewise]

... what do you mean?

[Voice]

[vermified]

To miss someone back home, or to lose those you have here... which is better?

[Voice]

[markofthewise]

[A sigh. He doesn't like that choice.]

I'd rather have everything.

[Voice]

[vermified]

...That's impossible.

[Voice]

[markofthewise]

For now it is. Things could change.

[Voice]

[vermified]

Not unless it becomes possible to return the dead to life.

[Voice]

[markofthewise]

... it's happened here already. That's not impossible.

[Voice]

[vermified]

Not here. On our own worlds.

[Voice]

[markofthewise]

That's what I mean. People who died in our own worlds... are revived when they are brought here, from after they died. If there was a way we could travel between worlds and not have to just 'disappear' and be 'sent home', things would be different.

[Voice]

[vermified]

Which is why I said it was impossible to have everything, the way things stand right now.

[Voice]

[markofthewise]

I know. It's not like we get to make the choice anyway.

[Voice]

[vermified]

...Well.

I'm satisfied with how things stand right now, anyway.

[Voice]

[markofthewise]

I guess things could be worse. At least we're not the only two at the smithy anymore.

...It would be better if the turtle was friendlier. [He has yet to get an actual conversation out of him- it's somewhat disconcerting to have met someone more constantly disgruntled than he is.]

[Voice]

[markofthewise]

His name is Raphael, Ed. [He's not annoyed. He's just saying that for your sake, because Raph would pitch a fit being referred to like that.]

But yeah. Not much I can do about that.

[Voice]

[vermified]

...My apologies. [But he is a turtle 8|]
