"Oh, no, not a fairy! A macen-thing. What were they called again? Kemo... Kemonomo- keminomomi! Something like that."

Gambir visibly winced at Ellena's forcefulness with the armour. He thought the handling to be brutish and haphazard, but he was not the professional and therefore allowed her to continue, though he kept a close eye on her hand movements.

"That's a shame. Siui is beautiful this time of year. And you ought to visit-" 

Gambir cut himself off. He could not bear to think of such beautiful places where he would not be allowed to return. It filled him with a grief and longing he had not felt since his youth.

"Do you feel no desire to explore the world? You seem like a strong woman, you should join the military! See far off lands, shed blood on foreign soil! And for the good of your country! Is there no greater honor?"
Jake
"Mmm. I don't no this Kemokemonomokeminomomi fairy you speak of..." *Ellena said before scratching her head* "Maybe I'll visit some time, but now I'm getting this shop nice and running... Also, I do have clients that depend on me. I travel every now and again, but not really out of the country"

*With his words of honour, she slammed her first to the table as she stared at him* "Honour? Well not many people reach that with their fists and bare backs, now do they. You have fun on the battlefield, but to me there is no greater honour than seeing my weapons and armour on the victor of battle. Only one greater would be forging a piece of armour that is legend so much so that the wearer was simply mentioned once in legends of it"
Edward
Gambir gave up on trying to describe Okami. Perhaps the two had never even met in the first place, and he had heard about Ellena from someone else, too. It really didn't matter either way. Gambir doubted he would ever see the blacksmith or the tailed-man ever again, once he left Salvania.

"I suppose we always need forge-men like you. Forge-women... It is quite a noble profession and a noble dream! I quite dislike commendation myself, but to each their own."

Gambir simply had no want nor need for such appraise that making a weapon for a legendary hero would bring. Perhaps he felt he was undeserving of medals and awards. Certainly, every man involved in the same things as he would agree. 

"Have you ever succeeded, or come close to succeeding, in such a goal? The weapons here definitely look like they have legendary potential."
Jake
"Me, no. But my great Grandfather has made some of the most legendary weapons and armours... Unfortunately, I specialize more in armour. My father and brother know both crafts and I am yet to best them. But I've got plenty of time and opportunity to learn and evolve my craft to a level even surpassing their own... Maybe I can even forge a decent enough weapon by then."

*Ellena had a shine in her eyes as she spoke before putting the armour fully disassembled into a box before slapping a label on it* "But for now, don't go asking me for weapons. I would hate for them to lead to someone's death. Anyway. What's you name, Traveller?" *She said with a writing utensil in hand*
Edward
Gambir nodded as Ellena spoke. He was not the most knowledgeable on legends of powerful warriors and their weapons, but he still found them interesting. Perhaps his spear would become legend one day. Although, he did not hope such a thing would occur. 

"Yes, family pressure is a great annoyance. My family ran a coffee shop, but the chance to continue that legacy is far behind me."

Gambit looked down at the box. Wonderful! He would be sure to check it as soon as he had time to, to make sure it was to his liking. If it wasn't, he did not know what he would do, but he would certainly be quite peeved. His blueprints had clearly been disregarded.

"Gambir is my name! Quite a great name, if I do say so myself."
Jake
"Really. Wow. Why's that?" *Ellena asked as she wrote down his name, the spelling a little off looking like. Gamberr. She the looked at him up and down* "You grown at all. I might as well do a adjustment here and there while I repair it so it fits better. I might as well"
Edward
"Oh, nothing much. I was just enslaved as a child, so I haven't seen them in... 20 to 30 years, I think. They wouldn't even recognise me, if I could even find them," Gambir spoke of such a horrific event casually, as if he either did not care or had overcome such trauma. Both were likely applicable.

"Oh no, no more adjustments, please! I'm sure it's fine as it is!" Gambir quickly picked up the box. He did not want to risk Ellena warping the armour any more than she already had, so far from his original design. "Thank you very much for offering, though!"

"And I'm sure you've got a lot of work to catch up on! Why waste even more time working on some old armour?"
