Signis smiled and nodded. "Yeah... Adjusting is good..." He smiled and nodded his head. He didn't know her intent for being up close and personal, and even if he had he wasn't sure it would phase him. His father had taught him that people fight for different reasons but all must be respected no matter what reason...
At the meantion of having a bow his face darkened a little. The only bow in the house he knew of was Myze's.... He shook his head quickly to clear the thoughts of sadness... "I... I know how to make them..." He said, a semi-truth, there were books on it at the house, he could wing it, he had the tools to in his forge at the very least. "It won't be as good as anything Nyoka will get you probably, but it should do..." He said nodding his head. When she started talking about him teaching her swords he smiled and nodded his head. "Yeah, I'll teach you, I would love to..." His father had always said the best way to learn is to teach...

Bellatrix frowns a little when he shakes his head again, a little confused. She puts it out of her mind, for now. "Maybe Nyoka give me extra. I give you if she does," she nods, still stroking Snakey.
She does, however, manage a smile when he says he will teach her how to use a sword. "Only if you want to teach. But, thank you. It be fun to learn, I think," she nods again.
Finally, her smile twitches, and she starts to frown again. "I do, or say, something wrong? You keep shaking head. . . ." She is supposed to be perfect, how could she have done something wrong! And, if she had, she needs to know, so she could see if it is just him overreacting, or something else.

Signis smiled at her and then sighed. "No, it's not you..." he chuckled weakly and leaned back, pushing the hammer back a little letting it fall over with a light tunk, as the wood haft hit the dirt. "You see Bellatrix, I've been... Alone, for several months, someone I cared very much about vanished one day, and I don't know where she is or if she's hurt. I... cared for this person, but the longer and longer she's away the less and less I remeber about her... Like... I really don't... remeber her face..." he sighed. "It makes me sad to think about her, but I don't think for the same reason as before... When I first missed her."

Waging a battle inside of herself, she moves a shaky hand to rest, briefly on Signis's forearm.
She abhores contact unless it is with a snake. . . . Or it is to make someone uncomfortable.
"I sorry, Signis," Trixie says, unsure of what else to say.
After a long pause, she frowns. "How you miss someone different than you did before?" the whole thing is very confusing to her. One, she doens't know why anyone would bother to care for someone, other than, in her case, snakes. Two, she can't understand why someone wouldn't want solitude. She likes the solitude. . . .
Unless, like now, the person in her company is worth talking to.
And, since she thinks that, she is sitting there, a slightly understanding look on her face as she continues petting Snakey.

Because I don't love her anymore... "Because I don't... Love her... anymore..." Signis said weakly, realizing for the first time, what the long seperation from Myze had done to his heart. He shook his head slowly and then sighed. "It doesn't matter though, I kinda like being alone... I mean, I've been around the isle once or twice but I never really met anyone that was worth talking to... My borther is a total a**, and most of the rest of the isle is too damn worried about their own problems and lives to care..." He chuckled and shook his head. "No, no... I think today if anything I've met the only person on this Isle that I can actually think might actually enjoy my company..."
His eyes then widened and he bit his tongue. Way to go Signis, shoot your mouth off in front o f a child, oh what a WONDEROUS role model you are.

Bellatrix is so confused, it isn't even funny. What the hell is this love? It sounds pointless. . . . And, if it would turn her into a sad person, she doesn't think that she wants any part of it.
However, she laughs a little. She can't help it! "I hope you no feel bad over saying . . . truth. Truth is best, even if it not something you want to say. And, I may be small, but I say worse things than you. Only Lenore, Nyoka, Damien, and Snakey understand. I hiss them. No good at English, yet." She actually reaches over to give him a quick pat. "You get anger out, Signis. It best. Then, you set mind to other things. More productive things. Anger cloud you, make you stupid sometimes. You get it out, you move on. You leave woman behind, and take care of self."
She keeps the grin on her face, and says. "Enjoy company? Yes. You interesting. Make blades, be nice to Snakey, no make fun of me. I like you." She nods again, and goes back to petting Snakey again.

Signis watched Bellatrix for a moment, and he did something he didn't expect, he chuckled, then he started to laugh, weakly at first, but it grew with time, finally he stopped and wiped his eyes.
"You might be small, but damn child, you are wise well beyond your age..." He chuckled and shook his head. "You are right, anger does cloud you, and I can't afford to be stupid, not now..." He smiled and reached out slowly, his hand moving cautionously towards the snake. "If you don't mind... and if Snakey doesn't... may I pet him?"
Maybe the child was right, maybe it was best to just let go of Myze, and live life on his own.

Bellatrix blinks, and looks down at Snakey. She hisses to him, her forked tongue flicking out a moment. She listens to him, and watches as he nods his head.
"He say it fine. He no bite, he promise," she smiles in a slightly wicked way, but it soon passes as Snakey reaches lifts his head enough to butt Signis's hand with his nose, his tongue flicking out.
"Thank you," she says, to his earlier compliment. "Lenore actually good for some things. She good teacher. Or, try to be, anyway. She no talk to me like I baby," she laughs a little, covering her mouth.
"You have big plans?" she asks, tilting her head. "That why you can't afford be stupid?"

Signis chuckled, gently brushing the head of the snake, much like Bellatrix had, he'd watched her do it, so he hoped he was doing it right.
"Well Bellatrix, I guess I shouldn't either now should I?" He smiled and nodded his head, actually feeling a lot better now that everything he felt was out in the open, even if this child was... Odd, he found himself, calmed, which was actually a blessing for him, he was getting tired of constantly sighing at the mere thought of the woman he'd once loved.
Toga didn't make him feel that way, so why should Myze?
He chuckled at her talk of plans. "I'm trying to think of how to make a hammer with the new metal I've made, it's very strong but very light, hammers should be heavy, but I think I will make a hammer out of it anyway, so that way I can make better blades and armor..." He chuckled. "One must strive to be their best..."

Bellatrix stares at him, unblinkingly, as he speaks. It might be a little unnerving, depending on the person, when she stares this way.
Which is, in fact, the reason she does it.
"There probably books on how light metal been molded into something close before. . . ." she offers. "Maybe you do expirimenting until you get right? If enough metal made, or metal not difficult to make more." She hisses something to Snakey, and waits for his reply, as he is slowly being lulled to sleep with all the attention he is getting. Sighing, she taps his body, and he becomes more alert. When she finally gets a response, she smiles. "Trial and error?"

Signis was a little unnerved by the stare, but he just smiled at her, giving her an equal stare back. He wasn't overly worried about the child tainting his mind, even though she already had in a way.
"I just perfected the making of the metal, it's quite useful, I've made a few blades with it already, and one or two pieces of armor... I want the hammer for detail work, so I can make better edges..." He chuckled. "I'll have to get a better grindstone too... I've worn the one I have down pretty much gone with the new stuff..."

Bellatrix nods, smiling a little, still staring in the same way as before.
Until Snakey slithers, suddenly, off of her lap. Blinking again, she follows him with her gaze, and grins wickedly. "He is getting food. He bring me dinner, same. Makes appologies," she explains when Signis is finished talking.
"The metal strong enough for blades? Don't break?" she tilts her head to the side again. "Guess not, if you want make hammer and bang at other metal."
"What a grindstone?" she asks. Lenore smiths, some. Maybe she has one lying about. . . . Besides, Trixie likes to look at the small daggers Lenore has made. . . . She might be able to sweet talk her into taking her back to the manor to have a look at it again.

"It's a stone you use to sharpen edge, it grinds an edge on there.... It's useful, but depending on teh metal it's not always the best choice..." Signis chuckled and nodded his head. He watched teh snake slither off, and listened to Bellatrix's words... Well... To each their own... He smiled at her and kept up his staring. It was... like staring into a snakes eyes, if he so dared to make the parallel. He chuckled quietly and moved his hand to the haft of the hammer and pulled it more towards him, then let it set down again. "The Metal is quite strong, good for blades, good for armor... It's good for hammerheads too, but I'll have to harden it a lot more... I'm still figuring out how to temper it propperly so that it doesn't get to brittle..."

Oh, this one is fun! He doesn't turn away. She is sorely tempted to lunge a little, bring her fangs down from the resting place against the roof of her mouth. Just to startle. But, she decides against it.
That just makes it all the more challenging to Bellatrix. So, she keeps her stare up, still managing not to blink, with a small smile on her lips. "I think I know what stone you say about," she says, sighing again at her mix-up in her vocabulary. She must sound like a bloody idiot! She finds herself thinking, again, how much better it would be if everyone just knew what she meant when she hissed.
She quirks an eyebrow, and asks, "Temper? That heating?" she asks, taking the sentence and trying to figure out the meaning on her own. "Good luck, Signis. I think you do it. If you persistent, you do it. You close to uncluttering mind, so can concentrate on this. 'Sides, you . . . temper it right, I buy blades from you. Or, make Lenore buy me a blade from you," a slightly wicked little chuckle, that is soon turned into a pleasant one.

Signis smiled, slowly letting his uneasiness from her stare slide into the flame he created within his mind, letting all his emotion go there actually, even if he wasn't about to fight or craft, it was helping him keep on his feet mentally. He chuckled and let the flame be snuffed, leaving himself in only the void, keeping a smile on his face, merely because it was there anyway he nodded his head. "Yes, it's heating, and thank you Bellatrix, I will contimplate that..." He chuckled a little, amused, which of course made the void shake a bit as it required no emotions in order to survive. "I would be glad to see you do business with me, I have a large stockple of blades, armor and other things, I would like to seem them come to use..."
