~~Are you--~~ ~~How's--~~ ~~Do--~~

~~Fuck~~

Do you have any plans for this upcoming Friday night?

A young man came into the smithy this morning. He was ~~a little depressed?~~ looking for someone to teach metalworking. I offered, though said I'd talk to you about it first. Is it alright, if I take on an apprentice of sorts? I'll take full responsibility for him, and it won't interfere with my work in any way.

	I reckon you're probably right about the social thing. But I can do that. How long are you wanting to stay and what kind of party is this? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Perhaps just a couple of hours? I'm not sure I could handle more than that. The party's at a bar, a birthday celebration. I should find a gift though, it would be rude not to. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I can do a couple of hours. As for the gift, you could always just make something with your powers. Something that you reckon your coworker could have use for or like. Then you ain't gotta bother with shopping. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I'm terrible at shopping anyway so that seems like a good idea. He's something of a cowboy, used to sleep in the woods. Maybe he'd like a fancy dagger. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You must be talking about Doc. A dagger or a belt buckle, but I'd go with the fancy dagger. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Yes. You know him? I've found myself someone to teach metalworking to as well. A young man who just wandered into the smithy and wanted to learn. It was almost bizarre. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	rogueneto absorbs 2020-08-10 03:17 pm UTC (link)
	No, just chatted to him a few times on the network. What's his name? And I reckon that's a good thing. It's nice when you can share your knowledge with others. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	rogueneto metalize 2020-08-10 03:22 pm UTC (link)
	Ah. I haven't spent much time with him outside work, but we talk occasionally. He does the leatherworking there. Noah. He's into art. So I'll teach him how to make metal sculptures. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	rogueneto absorbs 2020-08-10 03:26 pm UTC (link)
	You should try socializing with him some outside of work. I bet you'd get along well. He lives at the Barns. I know I've seen him there when I take Anka Irene to see the animals. But Noah will definitely try to absorb whatever you can teach him. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	rogueneto metalize 2020-08-10 03:29 pm UTC (link)
	I suppose I could try. Maybe we could go for a beer after work sometime. He seemed a little depressed, but perked up when I said I'd make him some tools to start with. I'll see how it goes. How is Anka Irene, anyway? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	rogueneto absorbs 2020-08-10 03:33 pm UTC (link)
	I reckon he'd enjoy that and you might too. This is sorta his second chance at life. I know he was dead before at one point. She's busy holding tea parties with her various toys. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	rogueneto metalize 2020-08-10 03:37 pm UTC (link)
	You're probably right, but that's not unusual. In that case, it's good he's seeking out new hobbies and new opportunities. Of course, tea parties. ~~My daughter--~~ Nina loved those too. We had a ceramic set, with petals and ivy all on the cups and saucers. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	rogueneto absorbs 2020-08-10 03:40 pm UTC (link)
	You'll come to find that I'm right about most things. It really is. I reckon its something most kids enjoy doing at least at some point. I know I played it when I was lil. Our set ain't that fancy though. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	rogueneto metalize 2020-08-10 03:44 pm UTC (link)
	Oh, really? I'll keep a running tab and tally your score. Does she like puzzles too? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	rogueneto absorbs 2020-08-10 03:47 pm UTC (link)
	And you'll come to find I'm right. She's pretty fond of them if they're hard enough. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	rogueneto metalize 2020-08-10 03:50 pm UTC (link)
	Is it exhausting, being right all the time? Prefers the 500+ piece blank jigsaw puzzle then, got it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	rogueneto absorbs 2020-08-10 03:53 pm UTC (link)
	Nope. Especially if its a cat. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	rogueneto metalize 2020-08-10 04:03 pm UTC (link)
	Cat puzzles. Good taste. I will see you Friday, then, Ms. Forever Right. Do you want to meet in the lobby of Morningside and then just head to the bar? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	rogueneto absorbs 2020-08-10 04:05 pm UTC (link)
	That works. Just let me know what time to meet you. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	rogueneto metalize 2020-08-10 04:06 pm UTC (link)
	The party starts at 7, so how about we meet at 7 and then head over so as to not awkwardly be the first ones there? The bar's called Harvelle's Roadhouse. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	rogueneto absorbs 2020-08-10 04:09 pm UTC (link)
	That should work. I'll let you know if'n I can't find a sitter. (Reply to this) (Parent)
