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?

[Of course he's cool, the people of Windol love him for a reason after all.]

Richard, and yourself?

[Voice]

[vermified]

[It takes more than that to impress him.]

...Edward.

[Voice]

[ledbythewind]

It's a pleasure to meet you, Sir Edward. You must be an impressive swordsman yourself to be a follower of someone as skilled as Sir Sigmund.

[Voice]

[vermified]

[Why yes, actually-]

I do my best to help him as much as possible.

[Voice]

[ledbythewind]

I'm sure he is grateful for your help. I only hope that someday I will be able to be able to say the same about myself and Asbel-- with the help of Sir Sigmund's teaching, of course.

[Voice]

[vermified]

Asbel? A friend of yours?

[Voice]

[ledbythewind]

My oldest friend-- the two of us met seven years ago when we were both children.

[Voice]

[vermified]

[Ah, childhood friends.]

If he's your friend, he should be grateful for your presence regardless of your skill.

[Voice]

[ledbythewind]

That's what I'd like to think, but sometimes I find myself wondering if I am just a burden to him. He'd never admit it even if I were. I suppose that's what worries me the most.

[Voice]

[vermified]

Hm. It's a real enough concern, but there's little you can do about it besides get stronger. Focus on that instead of your own worries.

[Voice]

[ledbythewind]

I'm hoping to do that with Lord Sigmund's help.

[Voice]

[vermified]

...If you're truly Lord Sigmund's student, then it's my duty to offer you any help if I'm able.

[Voice]

[ledbythewind]

That's very kind of you, Sir Edward; I truly appreciate the offer. If it's not too much trouble for you, perhaps we could arrange a sparring match at some point? I would like to try the skills I have learned against someone besides Sir Sigmund.

[Voice]

[vermified]

...If you wish, though I may not be a very suitable opponent for you. A smaller sword wouldn't be very effective against mine.

[Voice]

[ledbythewind]

A smaller sword? I've been training with a standard broadsword.

[Voice]

[vermified]

I don't use a broadsword, I use a greatsword.

[Voice]

[ledbythewind]

Yes, I think I see what you mean about my sword being smaller.

[He's kind of amused, though, because he's never met anyone who actually uses a greatsword in combat before.]

[Voice]

[vermified]

If you're prepared for that, though, a spar might be acceptable.

[Ed's got quite the monster, Richard. Better consider it carefully. :|]

[Voice]

[ledbythewind]

I'll give it my best.

[Even with a monster sword, he can probably best you in speed, Ed.]
