"IO know you have stayed up for days at a time forging. But was that after you had traveled miles? Or after we had been magically teleported by a myth and legend to a dragon village? Was it after not eating anything either?" Onyx had developed a great way of dealing with these desires to work without rest. He had learned well for Su when she activated her mom mode. It was actually very adorable when comparing the two. 

"Then off we go to get some food. I bet that sister is convincing brother to make extra." The pair left the forge even though the wandering blacksmith seemed to want to run back. However, before they left Onyx watched the wandering blacksmith put all the blue prints in to a slim looking folder. They fell in to it the same way that Gils' arrows fell in to his quiver. It had a spatial element. 

"That folder is amazing. I didn't know you had something like that. It must have an endless supply of blue prints by now." It was true. With how long the wandering blacksmith had been forging he could fill a museum with his blue prints alone. 

Onyx was paying attention and listening to every thought that the wandering blacksmith directed at him as they walked. "It's amazing. The architect's portfolio? I did not know your father had been an architect and had an item that could store blue prints like that. It's even more amazing that it works for you since you share his blood. Passing it down to you must be a great honor." The sad smile the wandering blacksmith had was enough to tell Onyx that it had been a moment that touched the wandering blacksmiths' very heart and guided who he would be. 

The two continued to chat until they found the small camp that the party had set up without them. "Brother, do we not want to stay in the stone homes here? I thought we would stay in one?" 

Walker looked up from the warming leg of the horned rabbit he had just place on the fire. He had two more set up and Midnight was crunching down on some earth elemental crystals nearby. "Aren't you cold? Ah, you were in the forge. I bet that was interesting. And yes, we could stay in the extra stone houses but that would force a dragonkin out of their home since they are built for every dragonkin. The extras are storage and we shouldn't take those away from them. So, we will strengthen our mental resistance to the cold and wind. But that won't stop me from making some earth walls." 

"I was going to ask you to create them. I feel the wind has been very calm and we are lucky here." Su was obviously cold but was trying to play it off while she neared the fire to place a teapot to boil water. 

"It was bad enough that I was dragged down from the gardens since it was late, but if you make me sleep without an earth wall to block the cold I will come down and spar with you tomorrow. And I will not hold back." The threat was a little more powerful as Remey made a motion to equip her elemental knuckles. 

"If you do come down to spar you can test out some theories I have about those new knuckles. You have been focusing on herbs and alchemy lately. We might just leave you behind." Walker knew that this would get Remey in gear to train more so than annoying her. She didn't want to be thought of as weak and if she continued to slack on the brawler side of her system. 

"Oh? And what theories do you have all mighty master of all magic and nature and stuff? Hmmm? Want me to start growing trees on my hands? Maybe throw fire balls? Oh wait, I bet you want me to have fists of light orbs to blind people." Remey started to Tease Walker who just pretended nothing was happening as he set up more food to warm and roast by the fire. 

"Well, actually, I think you could have two elemental knuckles at a time. Use fire on one hand and water in another. That way you could do conflicting damage. Or even use the earth and fire knuckles in a hammer fist to do some sort of lava type damage. The mixing of the elemental could be pretty unique." There was not much Remey could say to counter it. She had begun to think of the exact same thing as she had been studying herbs and while they had traveled. 

"I guess I could think about it. As soon as That one over there explains why he tried to make me deaf while I was examining some hail fruit vines." The half hearted point at Gil and glare was enough for everyone to remember the sounds from the air earlier. Gil just stood silent, he felt that he had a target on his back.
