Mm, I don't think he wanted us to know. I hadn't meant to eavesdrop, I was just up among the pipes when he started talking.

[Roof cryptid's gotta roof cryptid]

That's a good idea though. There's got to be plenty of things that people would want made that you could do. I know you'd do better work than the moogles.

[droptheious]

That doesn't surprise me. He doesn't strike me as the kind of person who asks for help easily. And of course you were.

[Where ELSE would he be? ]

Folks in Undertown are always looking for things they can't get anywhere else. Specialist equipment for monster limb usage, chemicals for various potions, stuff like that.

I'm considerably less likely to force someone into marriage, too.

[whiteshroud]

He's not. I had to talk him into not trying to pay me for my work here beyond room and board, because I knew he couldn't afford my rates.

Yeah, I'm sure you'd have no shortage of orders once word gets around about your skills.

And even better! Pretty sure a lot of people avoid the moogles BECAUSE their fixation on matrimony.

[droptheious]

That sounds like it was probably a lot of hard work. I can't see him having taken that easily.

Aww, thanks. I know I'm not a sniff on Blade, but I do pretty okay. Also, definitely better with the chemicals.

[He's trying his best to be better about this!!]

I don't blame them! No one wants to commission a sword or something and then suddenly find out you're being dragged into some insane magical shotgun wedding.

[whiteshroud]

Blade's older than you, so he's had more time to practice. You'll catch up to him, I'm sure of it.

...Well, I bet certain lesbians would be more open to that idea. They do like swords.

[droptheious]

Your faith in me is very much appreciated. I'm sure I will too.

But do they like surprise marriages? I feel like that might devalue the sword a little.

[whiteshroud]

It's not exactly a difficult thing to have faith in. I know your skill.

I don't know, you'd have to ask a sword lesbian.

[droptheious]

It's appreciated all the same. I makes it a lot easier to believe it.

The only one I know well isn't in this world.

...Actually, she probably wouldn't like it? She was never a fan of the mushy stuff.
