*Arcturus was walking through the markets of Lerwick. The Knight was a long way from home and at a location such as this, he received many looks from the locals. Some interested, some at horror, and those who were interested in taking advantage of him. He would ignore this and push on though. He was in the market for some new equipment and had heard about a blacksmith in the area who he believed could craft him what he needed. As he approached the shop, he would hear the hammer of a blacksmith hitting metal reassuring his information. Opening the door to the shop (or just approaching it if its a stall) he would enter the waiting area and wait for the Blacksmith to be free.*

*The Smith lifted the dimly glowing piece of metal, examining it. Not quite finished, but it needed to be heated a bit first before he could heat treat it. He lifted the hook with a pair of tongs and placed it in a bed of coals, before working the bellows to bring the coals up to a warmer temperature. Wiping the sweat off his forehead, he placed his leather gloves on the anvil and turned towards the front of the stall, seeing the knight there. He raised his hand in greeting as he walked to the front of the shop, saying,* "Hello good sir! How may I help you today."
Angela
*Arcturus would step towards the stall now that the Dwarf was finished, removing his sword from his belt, still in his sheathe. He'd hold it in one hand as he approached.*

"Good day sir. I trust you are Theradin Blackhelm, the smith of Lerwick I've heard excellent things about. I'm in need of a companion piece for my current weapon, preferably a shield of some kind." 

*He would place his sword on the counter, laying it horizontally to allow the smith to inspect it. A reference photo will be dropped into rp-discussion.*
Diane
"Aye, that would be me. So let's see what we've got to work with." *He gently lifted the sword, and pulled it from it's sheath. It was well made, and had no doubt served this knight and his kingdom for a long time. He placed it back down on the counter before he continued.*

"A shield will require more than my skills, as I am not a carpenter, and a shield of solid metal would be incredibly heavy. The way most shields are made involves wook planking with a metal rim and sometimes a boss, although most modern shields skip that step. If you have a bit more money I could apply a metal facing to a shield for added protection, but my carpentry skills beyond making good handles are rather lackluster especially with shields. But even so it wouldn't be to much trouble if you could find a good carpenter, I even know a few I could recommend should you not have a preferred option. Or I could make other things. Parrying daggers, handaxes, maces, you name it."
Angela
"I apologize, sometimes the process can skipped over in my mind for the end result. I have no issue paying extra if you have an extra shield on hand you could enhance. Otherwise I can find one on my own time. I was also interested in two handaxes to add to my current arsenal."
Diane
"I don't have one on hand at the moment," *He said while stroking his beard in thought* "But if you bring one in I certainly can enhance it. As for handaxes, are you wanting small ones balanced for throwing? Or sidearms meant for close combat? As for the shield, it won't be two expensive. I can put a rim on one for only 5 gold, and for a hardened steel facing, it'll fetch you about 15 for labor and materials. It all depends on how you want it though. What kind of shield, any decoration, that kind of thing."

*He looked at the sword some more. It was decorated nicely, with subtle engravings along the blade. It was an intricate design, but an easily replicable style. Beautiful, yet practical. He had done many weapons like this, and he was confident he could replicate it.* "Whatever you decide on, it shouldn't be to hard to replicate this design. Beautifully crafted sword I might add."
