*It was a sunny day outside as Melody quickly moved along the roadways towards the marketplace. She had only recently made it to North Mentia, though what she had found after her long months of searching for her family was far from what she had wanted to see. The towns had been burned to the ground, yet no matter how far she trekked and how many she asked around, none seemed to have known where they could have gone or if they were even still around. She grew wary of the idea that she may never find them, that something bad could have truly happened to them. However, she tried to keep a steady mind, knowing she wasn't going to travel this far for nothing. The Centaur continued asking around the crowded marketplace, occasionally apologizing as she incidentally bumped into some people in forgetting about her size.*

*Haron was as usual, working in the blacksmiths shop, him standing at the counter and humming some small tunes under his breath. The boy with black hair and a big pair of black wings behind his back while he was minding his own business. And this business was just searching papers. Sooo he had his halo flying on his head, him still searching some papers. The look of this guy... It could be confused with a literal angel! And many people did confuse haron. It was at first funny but then it became annoying*
Robert
*Melody let out a quiet sigh as yet another person was unable to note any sign of what she was looking for. She trotted off to the side of the road for the time being, watching people pass by while idly thinking of what she could do out here. Melody supposed she'll have to try again in the next town over, though there was no telling how far that'll be. She might as well get supplies while she was still around. The centaur glanced over at what was nearby, noticing a couple of food stalls and what looked to be a blacksmiths shop. She hadn't really visited one since leaving Salvainia. Maybe she could sharpen up some of her gear now that the warmer weather would only bring about higher stakes in the warfronts. She walked towards the door, a golden glow passing over her body as her centaur half vanished from sight and instead was placed by two normal human legs. As she opened it, the centaur gazed around a bit before entering. Making her way in, her gaze fell upon the young lad at the counter, which soon led to her offering a quick greeting.*"Hello there. Would this place happen to be open?"
Shari
"Oh yes it is open. How may I help you my lady?"

*Haron was saying with a rather calm and gentle tone as he looked curiously at the person who was rather unique looking person. He was curious of why such person who could be an adventurer. He was curious of the reason, that the person walked in here. It wasn't the best blacksmith shop around here so it made haron curious*
Robert
"I wanted to know if you worked with weapon enchanting here. Or had any material you can use to strengthen it."*She said to him, grabbing the Kusarigama she wielded and walking over to where he was to hold it out to him.*"Also if you would happen to have a way of making armor more fitted for Centaurs."*Without context, the latter part could appear like a strange request considering she was in her Macen form, however, she didn't think much of it with her growing used to swapping back and forth.*"I have a bad feeling that the war efforts are going to start picking up again, so I'd rather be prepared in the event that I accidentally end up amidst the chaos."
Shari
"Hmmmm... Let me think. I don't have any idea about enchanting and unfortunately I don't have any good materials to make your weapon stronger. I mean if you would get a material I could definitely make it. However I already worked with centaurs already so I could make an armor for you."

*Despite the age of 18, haron was a really advanced blacksmith. Haron only smiled as he rubbed his chin slowly. He didn't have any good purchases in a long ass while and he was actually glad*'
"So... Whats going on outside of the mentia? I'm not the traveler or adventurer. Just... Working here all the time."
Robert
"I'll take what I can get..."*She says with a sigh before offering a gentle smile to him.*"Thank you."*Despite only being there for a short visit, Melody decided to take the time to relax for a bit. There were very few times she could feel safe enough to what with all the raids and bandits. At the mention of what goes on outside of Mentia, she returned her weapon back to its holster.*"I'd say what goes on outside of Mentia is a lot calmer than what goes on inside. This place is meant to be close to home from me, but I would love nothing more than to return to Salvainia and continue my training right now seeing how bad it's gotten."
Shari
"Oh... So it is that bad I suppose... That isn't good at all. I haven't fought in my life actually but wanted that a lot. Just tend to work here. In safety as my parents told me. Now could you hold still? I need to measure the body for the centaur armour. And we could do it in the backyard of the shop if you are more comfortable"

*Haron said grabbing a notepad and his pencil as he said already prepared to write measures. Haron honestly was curious a lot about outside world but... He usually stayed inside. He only worked here. Day and night..*
Robert
"Well the good thing about Salvainia is it seems to be full of guilds to join that ensure you fight things at your skill level. Well at the very least they try anyways. No telling what could happen on a mission."*As he asked for measurements, she looked about the shop a bit.*"It's alright, this place seems spacey enough."*Her body began to glow for a short moment, causing the bottom half to change and morph back to its deer-state. The centaur stood up more straight, holding her arms out in readying for him to measure her.*
Shari
"...Yeah... Guilds.."

*Haron sighed before flying to her height and measuring everything quickly. Arms length, check, legs check. After a minute or two haron pointed big finger up, saying that it is enough now. Haron didn't use his wings in a long ass while. So a little stretch on wings won't hurt much. Haron then wrote down the measures before closing the notepad*

"The armor will be made in a day. Come back tomorrow to pick it up. Payment tomorrow as well."
Robert
*She tilted her head a bit at the sigh, wondering if something happened to him with the guilds.*"Something wrong?"*She asked him, lowering her arms once more at him finally finishing up her measurements and changing back to her Macen form.*
Shari
"Hm? Oh no no. It is alright just some thoughts and all"

*Haron sighed as he then looked at the woman again and tiredly sighed. He decided to speak again in order to distract himself from more thoughts*

"So can I help somehow else?"
Robert
"Yeah... I get that.."*She says with a similar sigh before shifting her gaze back to the door.*"You wouldn't happen to know where the nearest town to here is would you...? Or at the very least have a map of sorts or a guide that can help me?"
Shari
"Ah towns... Ummm... I think to the east there is a lake with a small village. Usually they just sell fish and stuff. You just walk through woods and then you will see it. It is hard to get lost on the path to this town. I hope that helps in all honesty-"
Robert
"Well even a little help can be enough."*She says with a smile, turning away once more as she restates the instructions in her head.*"I'll be back tomorrow. Hopefully things won't get too hectic."*The Centaur said glancing back.*"Stay safe around here."
