As she slipped into his line of sight; careful to protect the dress that he couldn't help but notice and the grin on her lips.<br/><br/>He met her eyes for a moment as the hammer rose again, "A sane man would run when he saw a smile like that on a woman's lips." he said, a teasing tone in his deep voice. The hammer rang again in the double-tap of a practiced smith. "But no one's accused me of being particular sane these days, so I guess I'll stand here a minute or two more." He couldn't help but give her a mischievous smile of his own as he met her eyes again.<br/><br/>He lifted the glowing length of steel and showed it to her, "One day, this'll be something to carry on your hip." He glanced down at the afore mentioned body part and quickly pulled his eyes away again. "You need a decent blade if you intend to carry one outside of the Tower."<br/><br/>He thrust the metal into a vat of water and looked away as steam rose in a cloud and placed the cooled blade into a place that he knew that wouldn't be bothered befoe he turned back to face her fully. "What can I do for you Avalyn?" he asked and pulled the leather apron over his head; giving her an excellent view of his bare chest in the process. "Or, should I ask what trouble can you get me into?" he grinned agin and picked up a towel to dry himself off before he reached for a tunic. He wanted to reach out and wrap a strand of her hair about a finger, to lean in close and take a deep breath of her scent... to risk another nick from the dagger she always carried for his trouble... but he didn't want to stain her silk dress.
