Broogs head went up, and he turned his attention to Piper...giving the big toothy grin he was known for, and talking to Tremor in that same language, before Tremor gave a nod, and stopped working the forge a moment.
Malik gave a look at his daughter, and at his son...before talking to Broog in the same language he'd used earlier, and getting a response back before placing a hand on his son's shoulder.
"Go with Tremor. he's been working on the endpeices for Savyrn's items. see how they look, if you think the weight is appropriate for the style we discussed earlier."
before turning to his daughter.
"Remember, you needed gloves. the things you will be taught to handle are not always safe in bare hands. even your mother wears gloves, you know."

"Aw, I was planning to watch the fun that would ensue." He shook his head before giving a motion to Tremor. "Okay big fella, let's go see these wonders you've come up with this time." Heading off with Tremor then...dang, that no gloves fight would have been great to see.
His words only got a frown back though her own hands did skim over her mother's and yes as usual she was wearing her leather fingerless gloves with the fancy House crest embroidery on the back of them. "I still do not want gloves."
"And why not?" This is where the men failed mostly. Then again after raising three children she had this down pretty well.
"Because I can't feel anything. I need to feel things."
"Even if your fingers are free?"
"I need all my hands."
Children. "Yes, but at the same time if you think about it, you use your fingers more than your palms or the backs of your hands to feel something. If you're wearing gloves you can hold all kinds of things and not worry about hurting yourself. Especially if it's something you don't want to touch right away because it may hurt you. And not all gloves are thick leather."
"It won't be the same."
"Different isn't always bad. Like your boots. You put metal on them to make them just for you. You could do the same with your own gloves. If we all did things the same all the time we'd all be very boring and you wouldn't be learning things you are now either. "Which got a whiny noise from the child but she didn't have anything to say back.

Tremor gave a nod and lead the younger elf to the side room, filled with a variety of endpieces meant to be hooked to chains. blades, weights, spiked balls, hooks of various size and variety, javelin or spearheads. virtually any weapon that could realistically be attached had a representative here.
Malik gave a slight grin, but let piper do all the talking for now...he went to broog and talked wih him quietly and broog gave a few nods before moving and digging around for a wide variety of gloves. fingerless, non fingerless, ones that traveled up the arm and all lengths inbetween.

He went through all the weapons, picking up each and handling them. They were almost cute at how little they were but looking beyond the cuteness of mini weapons he could see the deadly capabilities. Testing edges and what not he assessed carefully. Hm. "Can you put a hand grip on all of these without disrupting the effectiveness of them too much? Doesn't need to be much just a place to grasp and hold if they ever needed to be turned into a hand held weapon."
The key was not to negotiate. If you negotiated with the child then they would figure out they could get their way with enough bargining talk. After two boys both having manipulative streaks, she had figured this out. "You need to understand that you can make your gloves a part of you. It will be different for a bit but you're a fast learner and you'll figure it out. If you find it's okay to touch without gloves then maybe you can take them off sometimes. You don't have to wear them all the time, just when you're doing things that aren't as safe as normal. Besides, if you don't learn to like gloves, you're never going to get another pet."
And she was pouting the whole time through her mother's quite logical explantion. Okay so she didn't have to wear them all the time that was a plus. But was really got her was the pet thing. Of course the word pet had been skewed for her as well...pets were not fluffy things that slept in your lap for her. And not being able to have no more new pets just was not going to happen. "I can choose?"
"Mhm. You can choose your gloves and have them anyway you want them." Giving the girl a little push towards Broog and her father then.

Tremor nodded, and gently took the one from Malikhai, and unscrewed the base that hand the chain hook and turned it around, screwing it back on and showing a tang to fit into a handle...which also showed a hidden blood groove where the tang was when it was attached as a chain weapon.
Malik gave a slight grin at his wife.
"Now I know where the boys get their manipulative skills."
before picking up his daughter and setting her on the table.
"There are a few choices set beside you, take a look and see what you'd like as a base, and we can go from there in making sure they are fitted to you.

"Well that's a nice foresight." Picking up another one he unscrewed it like Tremor had done and gave the pieces a look over in inspection. Hm would this work for her? "Instead of screwing on and off...can you make them a flip and lock style?"
"Call it what you will love." Though yes grinning about it as she indeed knew what she was doing.
A little unexpected noise from being picked up but she settled just as easy and looked to him, paying attention with a twitch of ears. A nod and she went to picking various gloves out and feeling over them, quickly deciding if she liked them or not. The pile she was making on the opposite side of her was bigger than the remaining ones but it seemed she had a pair in hand she was spending a longer time on.
A thin brown leather pair meant to come up to the wrists. The fingers of the gloves however were the unique part. Full length fingers that had a split towards the end on the backs of them. Essentially it would allow fingered gloves to become fingerless. Hm, this had advantages. Setting them in her lap she went through the rest before she came back to the ones in her lap. "These."

He tilted his head, and growled lightly...but did give a nod. probably a bit annoyed at the idea of redoing all the peices, but he comprehended what was being asked and had a basic understanding of why, if not all the details. So gathering up all the weapons and putting them in a container and pushing them back to the forge for reworking.
"alright. you got your selection, now what would you like to add to them?"
taking the other choices and handing them back over to broog who put them away.

"Hey don't make noise at me. You should enjoy a challenge. Weight and everything else was spot on, blood groove is genius since she's doing necromancy." Shaking his head at the smith before moving back into the main room where glove decisions were being made. "They looked good, save for a modification or two."
Of course knowing Broog would be the one who was doing all of this she turned her attention to him, lightly kicking her feet where she sat. "Broog, you gotta put some metal on the back and the finger end like my boots." Then she could just use her gloves like she used her boots, right? "And they can't be all slippy." Meaning of course she did not want these things easy to pull off her hands unless she chose so.

"good. soon enough she'll be starting with those and we'll see how that progresses. and I'm sure there will be yelling and I have no doubt I'm going to have many restless nights for that."
giving a slight grin to his wife and taking the gloves gently from his daughter.
"you heard her, Broog. time to impress the young lady with your work."
Broog gave a nod and took the glove and saw how they worked on the fingers.
"Da lil laydee want da fingers to do da breaky thingy still, yes?"
"I'm sure she does. after this though, I'd like a demonstration of this technique we were discussing. I'd like to see it in action."

"Always doing something that you think will make me kick you out of the bed or leave you all alone in it, aren't you?" Giving a chuckle to that but not questioning it further, it wasn't a time to worry over things right now. Weapons were a part of life, though she was indeed not thrilled about it. Savryn could get hurt...but then again, all children got hurt. That was also part of life.
"Mhm yup Broog." Giving a happy noise and clicking the metal of her boots together which in turn made her ears twitch at the sound. But apparently there was something else going on that may be exciting. "Can I watch?"

Broog grunted and went to work, turning the gloves inside out and coating the insides with aclear liquid that solidified and was supple enough to make the glvoes need a little effort to take off, and then worked on applying the metal to the backs and the fingertips, working quick and delicately, making sure they would still work like they were intended to work. It didn't take long to get the work done, and hand them back over to her.
"Yous like dis....we do gud works and da glove snot come offs so easy."
Malik glanced at his wife, and then at his son and daughter.
"I suppose it couldn't hurt...in fact, this gives me an idea. Malikhai...you'll be the test opponent to see how well this works, both from a visual standpoint and from someone attacking or being attacked by a person that uses this unique method."

"Hey, I didn't even say anything." He was forever getting pulled into these things. Sure he was happy to help but at the same time there was always the chance of getting a boney finger in his ear if it was involving his sister and her newly found fun talent. "Suppose it can't hurt to help. And if it does, well I'll just make you all feel bad."
Walking up to their daughter who was giving the gloves a once over withe her fingers, Piper got the child's hand in them with a little reluctance on the little elf's part. She inspected the fit herself, testing a little. After all, she knew gloves. "I think those will do just fine and when you grow out of them, we'll just get you a new pair like them."
Savryn begrudingly let her mother cover her hands and test out before the girl was testing herself, flexing her fingers and making sure she could get her fingers from the tips as well to leve them free for feeling things. Fingers back in and she was clacking the metal of the tips together then, ears twitching at the noise. Finally it was a tap of the back of the gloves on the table she was one, testing if they were like her boots. The result was a happy giggle. "They work!"

Broog gave his usual grin at praise to his work, before giving one to Malikhai that was decided more evil. and took down two long lengths of chain, with weights on the ends and started on his way up to the arena itself.
Malik mussed his daughter's hair.
"Of course they work. you know Broog does good work and wouldn't let you down. see now you can touch and grab things that might be dangerous otherwise. including working with dead things to get new pets."
and giving a glance at his wife.
"and yes you can come watch. this is something you might also be learning too. Broog knows more about it, so I'm having him demonstrate it. and I think you mother might be able to help refine his version of it. or certainly your grandpa. speaking of which, do we want to get him to see this?"

He blinked before shaking his head at Broog's look. Well, that look and those motions and then his own involvement only meant one thing. "Wonderful." Following after the ogre then, as he didn't have to be told even once to know what he was in store for.
She gave a happy noise at continued petting and apparently they were all very happy with this gloves thing. She supposed she could give them a shot for a while. After all, it wasn't like they were on her hands forever and maybe her brother would be quiet about the washing hands constantly thing. He was so weird sometimes. "I'm a good learner." Reinforcing the fact just to make sure her father knew that she could indeed learn something more than just what she was now.
"Letting him see something he would consider fun usually does wonders for his mood and he could use a good mood lift right now. I can tell you that." Poking at her temple before her free hand was being tugged on by an eager little elf. "Alright alright we're going." Getting that far off look a moment before looking back to Malik. "He'll meet us. Among other grumblings."

Broog stepped into the sand and rolled his shoulders, and gave a stretch. it was often easy not to notice with his childish and usually friendly behavior that he was still a large, and powerfully built ogre. but he wrapped the chains around his forearms not too tightly but not overly loose, holding the dangling ends with the weights on them loosely.
Malik gave a slight smirk.
"Well it'll give him something to put his mind into a less annoyed state, that's for sure."
Walking with his wife and glancing down at his daughter, and getting to their destination without any trouble or major incidents, and taking a seat in the stands near the sand. let see how well his daughter could 'see' this and if there would be any indication of how well it might work
