With a cheeky grin, Poppet shook her head. *"A fairy never reveals her secrets, Theradin."* With curious eyes, the tiny being listened to the two's conversation. *"A sword you say? Can I see!"* Poppet asked, excited about the idea of a weapon she's never seen before.

*He rubbed his forehead, frustrated at Poppet's continued antics.* "I'm not talking him down this time Poppet. He's your problem." 

*He turned back to Lucius, his tone changing from frustrated to his prior impressed tone.* "I'll tell you the purpose of a pure silver blade, bragging rights! If anyone ever doubts your skill, show them that. Yeah it's not much of a looker, but it's a solid silver blade! *His mind was racing, trying to figure out how to make a similar blade. Casting it might work, but that would be very difficult to do without imperfections. Since it was so soft it would have nearly impossible to forge like iron. Maybe with lower temperatures, or magical assistance.*

Shifting back into a coarser mood at the return of the fairy, Lucius eyed them for a moment. They sure seemed to get a lot of trouble from this particular client. It occured to him that most courteous folk would have offered assistance by now, but Lucius almost cracked himself up imagining himself doing anything 'helpful' for another, common, and particularly annoying creature.
"If you must." Lucius sighed, unsheathing his battered blade once more and flashing it about in a still fairly prideful manner. He was always one to flaunt and flex his wealth and abilities, albeit he'd of course never explain the only reason how he managed to forge such a blade, being only an armoursmith himself and not a weaponsmith. He distinctly remembered the months of accumulating the metal alone, then figuring out the magic those many years past.. A true pain he'd never go through the mistake of attempting again, if he had any say.
"You know, I've had this blade since I was a simple brancher. I originally made it because I used to fear other shapeshifters, but of course I've little reason to fear them now. How nature turns the tables, eh?" The shapeshifter elaborates, getting marginally sucked into his pride as he explained without regard for secrecy. Of course, he didn't expect anyone to put two and two together, so in the end no big deal, right? Of course not.
