Forge Three - (Audio/Action)

Bloody fairies never manage to get things right, do they?

[Like many, Gendry received his boon two days ago, but he hasn't gotten any closer to making proper use of it. Oh sure, walking back and forth through a set of mirrors is a jolly experience, but it's a pain in the ass if they're both in the same room. Though he won't deny he did have a bit of fun setting them across each other and walking through the portal over and over. But! That's not what he'd wanted!]

Seems if you want something decent, you've got to be specific. Seven hells... [He has no choice! He must do the unthinkable:] Stiles, you still about?

[Yes. He must ask STILES for help. That most dreaded of occurrences! Sure, there might be other people who could teleport him from Cothromach to Troichean Beinn in a blink of the eye. But those are other people and Gendry's faith in other people is roughly equivalent to his faith in this war ending amicably. If he's called a suspicious bastard, then it is a one hundred perfect accurate description of him.

But the locket is still in his hand and he realizes he's addressing both courts at large. Damn.]


... just, be careful about your boons, eh? The fairies like to be stingy, if you let them. [There. He's done the community at large a favor.]


[At the Cothromach]

backdated to 26th
When Gendry wasn't in his room messing about with a set of magic mirrors, he was hard at work at one of the forges. Though he wasn't officially apprenticing at any of the shops, one of the master smiths had agreed to hire Gendry on while he was in the city. So that meant keeping busy as he hammered tirelessly at some new sword. His Shard ached as he drew on its power to give superhuman blows. It was hard work and the sword wouldn't even be his, but he now knew enough about dwarven magic that he could finally give his uncle a good and strong sword. This is what he'd been doing ever since the battle had ended and he'd at last turned his work to other projects. This item was now nearly done and by evening, after he'd honed it to a razor's edge, he would find his uncle's home in the Cothromach to come knocking.

27th
After his message on the lockets, Gendry left to be at his normal routine. He was living in the Keeper's tower now and so he would eat his first and last meals of the day there. Other hours would see him in the market, working at one of the forges earning his wages by small commissions of tools or shoeing horses. Hardly work for an apprentice of Bordan Gret, but he did not seem to mind this simpler work. For those looking to find him or simply anyone in the city looking for goods, he was an easy man to find. His grumbling about boons aside, he was in as good a mood as he could be expected to be in.

[ ugh. is she offended? yes. ]

You can't betray what you never signed up for. I'm much more of a -- uhm -- conscientious objector.

Y'know. Great things can come from betrayal and rebellion. It's the American way.

You do, huh? Ask your American buddy sometime about just how thrilling it is to throw off a monarchy. It's a whale of a tale.

Well. Of course they're not keen. They're the ones with giant blingy hats. But you know what they say about kings, right? Heavy is the head that wears the...giant blingy hat. Basically.

Point. [ she taps her nose. ] But the paper ones just don't convey the same...gravitas.

Lemme guess: you've never watched a made-for-tv movie where the heroine dazzles away all the obstacles in her life with jazzy moves and a peppy smile, have you? Triple axels can change the world, mister.

[ a wave of her hands. ] Sorry. Sorry. Point taken. [ clearly this isn't the first stunned silence she's encountered. ] Us Average Joes and Jills shouldn't be getting so lippy. That's what you're trying to say, right?

[ and yet she can't help it. ]

Not one for my lingo, you don't. But it's okay. You'll adapt. They all do, eventually.

[ not that she's seriously thinking of inflicting herself on him for that much longer or that often -- but it's kinda fun to sorta-almost-threaten it. ]
