She waits patiently while Kenji serves the young man and once he has, Mel answers the unasked question.
"I've had a temporary forge built in a clearing a short way from here. It's being guarded for now but it won't wait forever." |

"OH you remember my chipped sword" he said smiling at her with hope on his eye."Your just in time, I had a bird tell me the location of the next legendary dragon. And I know how to get there as well as several witnesses that say have seen a dragon or a monster." he smiles with sings of anticipation.

Mel chuckles.
"Of course I remember...I said I'd fix it didn't I? Well that's what I intend to do." She tucks stray hair that is too short to tie back behind her ear. "I had the forge constructed nearby because it shouldn't take all that long to repair, and I didn't figure you'd want to wait longer than necessary." |

"I can wait as long as it necessary for a good quality work. I mean the sword was a expensive purchase so I wont want any less" he said almost hinting something to Mel. "but no preassure, I mean I still know your a girl and will do your best as a blacksmith" he said this as a way to get Mel pump up to show him she can do a better work then any man blacksmith.Just to shut his trap.

Mel raises an eyebrow at his girls-being-blacksmiths comment and shaking her head mutters "Men." under her breath. She swiftly draws out her own katana and drops it on the counter.
"My work speaks for itself..." She says this while indicating the katana; it is black with swirling silver throughout the blade, done in such a fashion that it's as if the two metals are one, the blade is without a single flaw. "However, if you'd rather not have a girl fix your blade you can find someone else." As quickly as she drew her beloved blade, it's back in it's place on her back. "But you'd best make your decision quickly, as I said, the forge won't wait forever and hints about my abilities being substandard are liable to try my patience." |

The princess went to a back booth and kicked her feet up and pulled out a book. Her favorit past time other then watching people die. She looked over and smiled.

"Fine go ahead" He said crossing his arms and thinking how will he pay her work.
he was however curious to see this death lady work her strange magic on a sword that ozzed life. |
|
|
"I can't fix it if you don't hand it over."
She replies with a grin before picking up her bag and slinging it over her shoulder again. "You're welcome to come along and watch if you'd like." |

He takes the sword off and hands it to her, the blade chipped with some small drops of water glistening on it and the hilt wrap by leather and rope with some small jewels on it.
"take good care of her doctor" he says as he lets Mel get it and lets her off to do her job. |

"Not to worry"
She replies with a grin before taking up the sword and heading outside. Mel walks a short distance into the trees until she comes to a small clearing where she'd already had some of her ghouls construct a forge. Crouching down, she carefully unwraps the leather and rope with jewels from the hilt. Taking a cloth from her bag, she runs it twice down each side of the blade; the cloth has spells on it, care of a sorceress Mel knew, that would temporarily remove and contain the water elemental magic. She then settles the blade amongst the glowing embers. While it heats, Mel digs through her bag and produces several short lengths of different metals which she breaks pieces off of in measured amounts with tools from the bag. Taking the broken off bits, she places them into a vessel and then into the fire to heat. Once the metals are combined and pliable, she snips off small pieces and fits them into the broken section of the sword. Mel then places the blade back into the fire for a short time, removes it to work over the metal with hammer and an assortment of small pick-like tools, then back into the fire. She repeats this process several times until the chipped area is filled. Finally she removes the blade from the forge a final time and plunges it into a cooling agent, sending clouds of steam billowing throughout the area. When the blade is cool, Mel removes takes it and goes over the whole thing with varying sizes of files, then polishes it until the metal gleams in the moonlight. The patch was flawless; it would be impossible to tell that the sword had ever been broken, or even used, as she'd taken the opportunity to fix all other nicks and scratches that came from regular use too. By the light of the dying fire Mel reattaches the leather and rope with jewels (which she'd cleaned while waiting for the metal to heat) to the hilt with another assortment of small tools. When this is done she takes the cloth that was retaining the sword's magic and runs it twice down each side of the blade again, returning said magic to its rightful place on/in the blade. After carefully wrapping the sword, Mel orders the ghouls to deconstruct the forge then leave the area. Picking up her bag and the blade she heads back toward the Blue Moon; it was several hours after she'd left so Mel wasn't surprised when there was nobody around upon her return. She sets the wrapped sword on the counter before proceeding upstairs for the remainder of the night. |
