"Little old me. Think you can see I'm a merchant at the very least. That and I cook. And from occasion to occasion I do mercenary work. And I can relate to the thrill of battle. So how about it. Want to spar a little after your armour get's fixed?" *Kibaru asked with a devilish grin as he looked at the man that followed him* "Though if victory is the only thrill, then I'm sorry to disappoint "
Edward
"A merchant is a noble profession. For a while, I was one, with my family. I helped run a coffee shop, made pancakes. I'm named after a pancake, you know. That was all a very long time ago, now. But I retain the knowledge! You ever need to know how to make some caffeinated beverages, you come straight to me!"

"I'd love to spar! However, it's just not the same when you're not in mortal danger. The battlefield is what I truly crave! Nothing compares to the feeling of charging the enemy lines on horseback, spear in hand, wind rustling through the cracks in my armour! You ought to try it one day, fighting amongst your brothers and sisters for a cause."

Gambir had lived two lifetimes already. In one, he was but a humble coffee merchant. It was simple, but it was peaceful. In another, he was a soldier, fighting on the front lines with his comrades. Perhaps in another reality, circumstances had led him to stay in one or the other, up until his final days? Regardless, in this reality, he was onto his third.

"What weapon do you most prefer? I find the reach of spears to be quite useful. You seem like a longsword fellow to me."
Jake
"I only fight along side one person. A brother not by blood. Though, he is probally stronger than me right now. As for my preferred weapon..." *Kibaru drew his Katana from it's sheath* "Close to a long sword I guess. But I like the curve it offers* "The blade was completely black and the sheath was purple with a blue dragon spiralling up it. The sword had a slight hum to it and a faint blue glow. But he soon sheathed his blade again* "One of a kind this one"
Edward
Gambir looked down at the katana. He couldn't imagine using such a small, quick weapon. How were you supposed to reach anyone? He could, however, appreciate the fine craftsmanship of the weapon, and the blue glow it emitted was clearly magical in nature. Gambir hoped to get his spear enchanted one day, but with what, he did not know. Some element, perhaps. Fire, maybe.

"Wonderful! A blade most divine!"

Gambir reached one hand into his cloak and procured a spear almost as large as he. It was not as ornately crafted as Kibaru's, and had clear signs of wear and tear. Its simplicity made it look like a standard-issue weapon a soldier would have. Gambir gave it a twirl.

"This one has helped me through many-a-battle. You should see how it shines on horseback!"
Jake
"Oh, so you're one for cavalry, huh. I have a horse myself... But she's... Somewhere else at the moment" *Kibaru squinted his yes before shaking it of as he came to a stop* "Here we are. Best smith I know... Not that I actually use smiths at all... But It's always good to know of one. Maybe you should let her take a look at you weapon too. She mainly does armour, but she know her way around weapons"
Edward
Gambir looked up at the smithy's sign. Finally! What a relief! He ought to make a mental note of the shop, so he was not forced to wander aimlessly again. How had he missed the large anvil symbol? Perhaps the radiant light of the sun had obscured it from his vision, no matter.

"I thank you, Okami! I do not know how I would have found it without your assistance!"

How curious was it, to find a stranger so helpful. 

"This is an odd request, but do you mind accompanying me into the store? In the few stores I have visited, they have reacted with suspicion to a foreigner such as I, and I believe some have tried to get away with increasing their prices. I do not doubt the quality of your recommendation, I would rather not take the chance."
