says to ALL: I arrived with a nervous smile tugged at the corners of my hidden lips, the single veil was a blessing I knew wouldn’t last. The man turned from the white coals and motioned me with a head nod over to the side, the slave was at my heels as I shifted down the floor, careful of how the hem of my robes swayed dangerously near the open flames. I was suddenly thirsty and felt my stomach twist up a little, it was so hot in three I felt like I was melting under all the cloth. The slave handed me the clothing I made and whispered gently you should go change Mistress before you catch fire

I looked at the package oddly, so lost in my thoughts I had forgotten about it, well that explains why I needed leathers, other than it will make farming easier, not having to worry about where your hem line is. I gave the slave a smile with my dark eyes and very cheerfully called out to the man well I guess I will go change, I go by Peasant and thank you for taking this time with me

his laughter suddenly filled the room, my chest tightened briefly to the point I couldn’t breathe when he replied oh don’t thank me yet Peasant, these will be the three worst days of your life that nervous smile returned to my eyes and hidden features before I slowly turned on my heel to the right and held that package tightly to my chest before stepping into the back room to change into the new outfit. my hands shook a bit and I had to remind myself this isn’t the worst that can happen to me, I seen what can take place when it gets ugly. Kar showed me that over and over so if I get burnt or cut a little, there are fates worse than that, not many though. I returned out to the shop with my robe and gown neatly folded up and stuck in the same wrapping paper as the leathers were. The slave tucked them in my satchel and then looked at me oddly before I realized I still had the veil on. I wrinkled my pert nose for a moment before shaking my head I will be keeping these I swiftly let my hair down to braid it, the slave helped me get it tight before it was pinned away, leaving me ready to start the lesson of metal

says to ALL: I knew the blacksmith was running behind on the training due to the large amount of orders he had for swords and brandings so I stayed in the back with his second slave learning where I would put my things and how the schedule went around here

we rise before the sun to tend to the fire and ready the coals, then food, clean up and orders, food again, clean up and then orders. Master works late and rises early, he said you was familiar to the same. You rest here on this fur, I am just down the hall. Here is the food and drinks and then storage is in the back Mistress

all said as she took me through various rooms, it was larger than it looked. we turned back around and that gave me a moment to memorized what each room was before she motioned me to the rack of brands and tables of raw metals. I seen what I wanted hanging on the wall and walked over, reaching out to touch it before I was even close, like I was drawn to it. I heard a shuffle from the slave behind me and I lowered my hand right before I touched the sharp edge. I turned and looked to see what tools we would be working with and asked the slave to go down the list for me

says to ALL: As the man returned from his customer he heard the last end of my words and gave a large smile that set me on edge nah we will show you Peasant, I see you where at the Leather Workers first, smart move. I wasn’t too sure I was ready to work tonight, I was adjusting to this whole idea of working with metal more than originally told to me but I merely put a smile on my seen features and followed him to the other room where I seen the coals get made and I must have looked a bit confused

not as expected? This I am sure you had seen before, a bellow, used to stoke the fire with air and this level is for that big one, usually takes me and the beast to get that one going, you will assist in that now

he went on pointing out the fire pot and explaining it, then to the bricks and why they are stacked high and low before moving on to the tongs, poker and quenching pot. All made perfect sense and I was remembering it all easier than I thought, then again I was only learning the tools, not the trade yet. I let my dark eyes roam over each items, from the anvil to the leg vise and the hardie tool holes and finally the rasps. I felt almost winded at hearing the list grow longer and I began to chew lightly along my lower lip wondering just how it was all used together to complete a project.

I was left to my thoughts when a man entered as scheduled and I was waved off for now, my training started at day break, learning from the get go exactly how it all plays out. His slave arrived as I moved to the hot back room and sat near the fire. I was still getting used to the clothing and smoothed my hands down the top of my thighs feeling the leather warm a little from the coals. It was odd to suddenly have a few moments of time so I got out my satchel and started to braid my hair tightly, I couldn’t risk it dropping down and catching a flame.

says to ALL: I barely noticed the slave until she knelt next to me and smiled a bit would you like me to tend to that Mistress, I am very good at braids I wasn’t very fond of people getting near enough touch me, nor do my hair but I knew I would end up working side by side with this beast for the next few days so I gave a nod. I tugged out the beginning of the braid and combed through the tresses swiftly before I handed over the comb and took a deep relaxing breath and closed my eyes. a small shiver rushed down my spine as I felt her take the small sections and then suddenly hold them tightly and hard to my scalp. I knew right then and there what kind of braid she was making and I mentally cringed a little know it would hold so very well but tended to made my head ache. Still it was better than it catching fire so I didn’t say anything, the grip lightened now and then but I could feel the tips of her fingers move along my scalp and it took all I had not to reach back and slap her hands away. she tucked and twisted the strands making it so when they came out my hair would have so much wave to it I would feel like I had a wig on.

she rose when it was completed and brought me two small mirrors to see the back properly. I was surprised, my head didn’t hurt and the braid looked very tightly held in place. a small hmm spilled from my lips before I handed the items back I am impressed slave, I will be sure to let you know when it needs to be tended to again I rose up as the man began to bark at his customer and I went to step over to hear what was said when the slave stepped before me quickly, blue eyes filled with worry when she spoke in a hurry if he sees you listening….its better we stay over here Mistress and she pointed to where the furs rested a bit from the fire. It was the tone she used that got my attention, I figured there was nothing I needed to know that badly that it risked whatever brought that look to her eyes and voice. I grabbed the bellow and forced the air in and out a little before I squatted down and the slave started in on the color of coals.

says to ALL: I watched as the slave started to speak and then suddenly heard her name called by the man upfront. I sat back on my heels as I squatted before the fire and watched as the bellows lightly blew air along the edge I pointed it to and then harder I pushed on them causing the fire to roar up. I was just about to do it again when it was snatched from my hands, I looked up surprised and about to protest when I seen it was the Blacksmith looking irked a bit

the coals are a nice yellow, hotter than usual because of the metal shavings I added to it, don’t fan it. I need the coals the hottest I can get them from a slow rise for unclean metals or doing repairs. Tomorrow we repair a dagger and then you can show me what barbed wire you want made. Wood delivery is at sun rise, get some rest, we don’t stop again til this time tomorrow.

he laid the bellows back down in their holder and turned to head to the back room I assumed was his own, the slave skipped over that one earlier other than to say its not to be opened. I settled down on the fur and grabbed my satchel for my evening meal when his slave arrived with a tray of goodies. She dipped back down the hallway and arrived with a cart she took to the same room the man had left to. I sat watching the coals as I devoured the meal before me but I barely tasted it. my mind was going to break long before my body just being in the city due to the lack of silence. Even in here I could hear people outside, I was wondering when I was going to start getting to me, they didn’t even let me do soil samples in the back yard nor bring any plants. I pushed the tray to the side before rising and murmuring a bit trying to recant what the slave said about each door. it took three tired but I found the small kitchen area and washed up the dishes and my face before heading back to the fire and remind myself at least I have a roof over my head and I didn’t have to sleep with one eye open tonight.
