Dottie was having a ball as she enjoyed the flirtations of everyone in the group. She was old enough to know that the most succesful bands of warriors cared for each other. And to create a bond so deep you would be willing to die for one another, is the most easy to achieve by flirtations and sex. Despite her outer opinion of not wanting to lose energy and stamina on some rolling around in the dirt, she definetly did not mind the others doing exactly just this.<br/><br/>The squishy warlocks and mage never had a lot of stamina to begin with anyways.<br/><br/>Upon showing his axe after the explanation of his fighting style, Dottie looked over the crudely made metal that seem to serve the orc.<br/><span style="color: #ff0080"><br/>
"It's decent, nothing fancy off course. Could definitely use some sharpening, either you take really bad care of your weapons or you don't know how to use a grindstone."</span><br/><br/>Dottie smiled and took her backpack in front of her, rummaging through a sack that seemed to contain a room full of  metal things. The knapsack seemed as strange as the metalsmither herself, when she almost seemed to disappear inside of it. All the while mumbling words like;<span style="color: #ff0080">"now where did I put it?" " I should really clean this piece of shit out" "ooooh I thought I'd forgotten to bring this one!" "There! Finally!"</span><br/><br/>She returned from the darkness of her bags, holding a very peculiar wetstone and a small brass flask, heavily adorned with beautiful gems. The stone's surface seemed to be glimmering like a diamond, but the colour was as green as the most beautiful jade one has ever seen.<br/><br/><span style="color: #ff0080">" This is my favourite wetstone, and here is some of my own dwarven oil. I've created this mineral oil by perfecting a family recipe. Let me show you how to properly sharpen a blade."</span><br/><br/>Dottie hopped towards the beserker and took his axe with a gentleness one could only see from a mother handling a child. She looked towards the wizardwoman and the guide and clacked her tongue.<br/><br/><span style="color: #ff0080">" If you'd like me to sharpen your weapons as well, by all means bring them out. But it's much better to learn for yourself."</span><br/><br/>The dwarven woman suddenly seemed so serious and strict. A strange change of her normal demeanor but comforting to know she was willing to share her secrets. After she has placed the wetstone in front of her, and prepared it by covering it with a sheen of foul smellong oil, she began gliding the metal of the axe on the rough side of the stone. Her movements were almost mesmerising, and her clear voice began to hum before singing a tantalising tune.<br/><br/><span style="color: #ff0080">"Ere there a be, mountains or me.<br/>
For know what is stronger, this you shall see.<br/>
Strength is not hardness, tough is not strong.<br/>
See for the water, glides through it like song.<br/>
Time is what breaks it, both hardy and rough.<br/>
Use all your patience to strengthen and buff.<br/>
This is a lesson, not just grinding stone.<br/>
Use this small knowledge for all that you own."</span><br/><br/>After the song was finished, and having turned the stone somewhere halfway through as well, the blade seemed to glimmer like a still pool of water in the strong midday sun. To demonstrate how sharp the blade had gotten, Dottie plucked a hair from her head and let it fall gently on the edge of the axe, effectively splitting it into two.<br/><br/><span style="color: #ff0080">"Off course it's important to know the angle of how to hold your blade, I've always found it helpful to put some dirt on the tips of the steel. If you grind of the dirt, you're having the wrong angle."</span><br/><br/>Dottie smiled and stroked the knife with an almost sensual love, like she was rousing the excitement in her lovers body.<br/><br/><span style="color: #ff0080">" Now as for an enchantment... how do you feel about a weapon that strengthens your damage ten times as much when your targets are on fire?"</span><div class="messageTextEndMarker"> </div>
