¤ Ralshafina ¤  Location : Forest town. What was the name...
Company : Beth and Charitina..
Feelings : Curious...
Really should sharpen my axe...
Ralshafina stretched a bit as she sat there, finished meal and mug of ale beside her as she inhaled sharply, taking in the smell of the evening and the hard days work she'd put in. Seems the guest had seen herself to sleep already after finishing her meal, leaving Ralshafina to shake her head a few times. What a strange younger girl she was. With a half shrug and a grumble she lifted herself onto her feet, cracking her shoulders and neck loudly from her size before marching over to the door to retrieve her axe and flip the doors closed.
As the night set in Ralshafina brushed herself clean of any shavings or splinters of wood, then walking around in a spot on the ground within the tent a few times before retrieving a large blanket. At a glance it almost seemed like it would need up to three hides just to match the size it was. Likely minator, and very plush to the touch as she let herself ease down onto her back, throwing the blanket over herself and promptly closing her eyes. Then hammer falls rang out. Ralshafina had grown accustomed to Beth working long hours into the night so she easily settled in and began to drift off into sleep, the occasional slamming of an anvil causing a twitch on her face as she slept..
...trees around here take an extra swing...
O.O.C.

☽Freelancing Blacksmith☾ Beth would finish the rest of her ale before setting her mug down. Her eyes would scan the tent to see Ral grabbing her large blanket and settle herself down on the ground for a bit of shut eye. She watched her for a few minutes before she got to her feet and stretched out her arms, before walking around the tent. She had very little else to do so she grabbed her own blanket from their wagon and walked over to Ral, before plopping herself down. Without little of many efforts, she fell asleep.

Ralshafina shifted and twitched about in her sleep, the typical grumble and mumble as she slept escaping through the night. As the morning began to set in and coals burned gently in the forge she woke, loud smacking of lips and grumbles escaping as she lifted herself up in her groggy state. Hair a mess and sprawled about, eyes crusted from sleep and remnants of splinters lodged into her skin. A good morning to start the day off indeed. She cleared her throat firmly, a thud sounding with each fist she pressed to her chest to unblock her throat.
With a almost cowboy like spit and a tossing of her massive blanket over Beth she got up, ruffling her hair up a bit before throwing it over her shoulder. Bone necklace, same attire and a unwashed face was all she needed as her hand wrapped around the wooden handle of her axe, pushing the tent open and walking over to the tree. "Arch is done. Time to work on the entrance and city square." she said aloud to herself, running her thumb against her protruding teeth a few times to give them a clean like brush before marching to the tree, the massive echo of the axe meeting the wood sounding with each fresh blow she delivered. She began billowing out the sides where she was, making sure to keep the integrity of the tree with each swing.
Hour or so went by, her form now fifteen feet into the tree and the designing of guard like towers forming. Each cut and groove had a subtle hint of architecture, elvish mixed with some form of human modern look. As requested by the elder. Simple enough for her and Beth would be sure to do the fine detail with her array of tools. They'd start today with the entrance and posts for the guards. Little buildings that would serve for simple spaces and meetings if someone approached the soon to be tree-town like structure.

☽Freelancing Blacksmith☾ Beth would wake to the sounds of birds chirping would reach her ears. Her eyes would slowly blink open and a yawn would escape her lips as she stared up at the roof of the tent. .... She would toss off her blanket before getting to her feet to do her morning stretches. Once those were out the way, she would pick up her blanket and move it back to the wagon.
Sounds like Ral is up and hacking away at the tree. She said, hearing the sound of a large Ax making contact to wood. Well guess I should get to work myself She said, walking to her forge and refueled the fire. Once a good blaze was rolling she would begin hammering away. She already made some nails and such last night so today she began on making other items they would need for the building, like supports and foundation for the buildings that would not be made out of wood alone.
An hour or so would go by before Beth stopped hammer and wiped some sweat from her brow. Alright.. those few are done.. I wonder how Ral is doing She said as she sat her hammer down. She would walk out of the tent before walking over to have a look at all the work Ralshafina had done. I say it's coming along, nice work Ralsha

Ralshafina was once more covered in wooden shavings and bits, occasionally spitting some from her mouth when they managed to fly in between her breaths. Nothing new or difficult for her to handle as she continued her path, having an irritating time with the occasional knot. Unfortunately with the massive tree there were a few that even rivaled her size. The echo of hammer falls sounded towards her, a subtle smirk shown as she resumed her assault on the soon to be town. It'd take time but that was something they had. With Beth on construction and Ralshafina on clearing it wouldn't be long.
When a voice broke through her swings she huffed lightly in agreement, her axe sinking deeply into the wood as she looked back to Beth. "Aye. Knots have been a b***h. But, we figured that into the plan. How's your end coming along? About ready to hit the town again for the approval and supplies?" she asked her form already giving off the scent of a working orc woman. Coupled with her lack of washing the prior night as well the end of this day would serve for a wash.
With a swift motion she yanked the axe from it's place, landing it on her shoulder before motioning for Beth to follow her. Tucked away in the left side of the tree was a portion that was sectioned off from the rest, a massive twelve foot wide, ten foot back and ten foot tall block of wood exposed. "Whatcha think. Right size for your tools or should we go bigger? Cart can hold it but you'll need to haul the extra size if you want bigger. " she said motioning to her own cart that was sizable enough. Although the chest would give her a more effective and organized manner than having hammers and it on sprawled about like she usually had.

☽Freelancing Blacksmith☾ Everything is coming along smoothly on my end. I have some nails, Hinges, fittings, some locks and a few supports and foundation metal for moments they will be needed. She stated as she looked around at the work. Everything was coming along smoothly, just as the two had planned. Just in a matter of months, this place will start to look like the beautiful city they and the elders planned. Im ready to head back... I do need to see how the miners are doing with gathering the ore we need.
She turned on her heels and followed Ral as she was beckoned to follow. Her eyes would lay upon the wood she was showed and Beth would examine it thoroughly. I say this will do just nicely, thank you Ralsha

Ralshafina nodded as Beth gave the report on their inventory, eyes scanning about where to begin the reinforcing and strengthening that would be needed. "I'm sure it'll be needed with age. Although this tree seems to have a bit more livelihood to it regardless of how much I cut away. Probably some ancient tree magic keeping it together all this time and growing it to this size." she said, letting her knuckle knock a few times against it. Magic was never her strong point and she tried to avoid it when possible. Even so they had a job and it was going as expected.
She would begin her usual manner of recruiting some nearby assistance once Beth and her settled themselves in fully and had work well enough along. "They didn't stare any issue with ensuring the delivery did they? Can't have it like last time where they up and forgot to have it sent out. I don't mind hauling it but we had a contract." she stated, pursing her lips a tad as her massive hand snatched her axe to embed it into the wood beside the carved out piece for their chest.
"Good. Like I said it's likely got a bit of magic tucked away. You can try and focus on that s**t if you like." she said, waving a hand about in a goofy manner to solidify her ignorance. Making her way back to the carts she strapped herself in, massive empty barrels and some boxes to fill loaded it as she glanced back over her shoulder to Beth. "Ready to head out? I need to bathe tonight with all the work. " she called, indicating she was ready to have a somewhat cleaner evening than last for sleeping. Maybe even set up a bed given the ground felt off around the tree. Magic.

☽Freelancing Blacksmith☾ I am sure the reinforcement will be needed in age like you have stated. She said, agreeing with her. Though true the tree looked lovely for its age but it will not stay like this forever, and reinforcements will prevent anything bad from happening over the course of years. Could also be dryads keeping the tree as lively as it is... I mean.. I heard tales of those things. Like Ral she was not an expert on things regarding magic. She was as clueless as a baby when it came to those things.
Oh I do hope to the Gods they deliver what we need instead of hauling all that s**t back here ourselves. Any still best to see how they are doing and if they fully know where to bring them She placed her hand on the wood Ral cut out for her. She would have to move it but she thought she'll do that later when she had the time for it. Pfft you think I understand all that magic s**t.. hell Im as clueless as a baby when it comes to all that Ral. She stated, turning and following Ral back to the wagon so the two could hit the town once more.
I am as ready as I will ever be Ral and a bath sure does sound good right about now. Now focusing on it, she can note just how sweaty and smelly she was. Granted she used to the smell but it was not a good thing to wander into town all sweaty and s**t

Ralshafina nodded a few times in response, glad they were, as usual, all on the same page when it came to building and arangments with construction. They both knew it well and knew when to point out flaws. The mention if dryads caused Ralshafina to wave her hand about a few times as if in a dismissive form. "And they'll probably be a bit miffed we are doing this to their tree. Either way, if they enjoy the tree they'll help the city maintain." she stated looking back before starting her slow steps to get the cart moving.
"Its whatever if we have to. They'll be discounting it heavily if that's the case though. You are way better off with magic than I am. Doubt a lick of my corrupt blood a** can utilize magic. " she jabbed, a light smirk showing as she continued in her pushing of her cart. The comment on a bath received another nod, the rumble of the cart and heavy steps echoing slightly while they were on their way to the town. After s good hike they found their way at the outer gates, her massive figure gaining a small amount of attention before she waved them off.
A small exchange of words and agreement between the guards let them pass, their trip going first towards the mining depot. She motioned for Beth to take the lead as they arrived, her movements swift as she began setting the empty crates down to fill with their material that would be needed. Hard work but Ralshafina seemed to be enjoying the manual labor, a very small smirk showing with her massive teeth. She stood well above Beth but let her take charge on these matters. She was the expert on metals after all.

☽Freelancing Blacksmith☾ Ha well let us just hope if there be dryads.. they are the kind ones. She stated as she begun to walk right behind Ral. She laced her fingers behind her head as the two trekked on, her eyes scanning the area around them. Oh they best discount the material if we have to lug it ourselves.. seriously... we work hard as it is to be lugging this stuff. She stated with a huff. The sounds of clanking from the cart reached her ears and it was like music. Why she thought so was a mystery but it sounded like music none the less.
Pfft Nah.. I know two shits when it comes to magic, heck I doubt my little mind can comprehend the knowledge behind the spells and s**t. The town soon came into view and after a few words, the two were let in. The first stop seems to be the mines so Beth leads the way. Once the two arrive Beth would begin to exchange words to the miners and make more agreements with them. The ore they requested was settled and mode of delivery was settled as well. Seems we do not need to lug this stuff ourselves.. That's a plus.

Ralshafina shrugged. "If not then I'll beat their leader senseless. Show an whose in charge now. " she stated with a small huff as she hauled the cart. Wouldn't be the first time Ral would have to show her muscles especially in front of Beth. Early on in their adventures together she dispatched with a troll that for some reason didn't realize how big and mean Ral was. A nod in response to the discount came as well to show she didn't have much interest in doing someone else's job if they were payed for it.
With a few glances from the passing person at the large orc, a usual for Ralshafina in a larger established city, she followed Beth after she finished talking the over about the arangments with the materials, loading some nearby food and filling the water barrels up as much as she could before loading them into the back. "Good. " she stated between the heavy thud of objects in the cart. Once that was done she motioned for Beth to head down a street, parking the massive cart in an empty alley before motioning to the arrived destination.
A bar. Ralshafina grinned as she moved ahead of Beth, ducking to open the door and squeeze inside with a huff before her figure loomed over the other patrons, her glare from the rafters causing the music to stop a moment before resuming. Ralshafina shot a few glares before making her way towards the bar. A very, VERY, small figure popped out behind the bar, pink hair and eleven ears noticeable as a honey like voice floated towards Beth and Ralshafina. While this elf was very small in height her other features more than compensated as she scurried over to the two with menus.
"Hello hello! Welcome to my humble little abode! Can I get either of you fine young ladies something to drink? Eat perhaps?" she asked as she set the menus down for Beth and Ral at a now empty table, her figure almost leaping around around them with a bubbly smile with her hips bouncing from side to side with her steps.

☽Freelancing Blacksmith☾ After double checking the securing of the ore and the delivery, The two continued on through the town. Ral went about gathering the food, water and anything else the two would need as Beth done the same. She grabbed some food, drinks, spare materials the shop keepers had before placing everything on the wagon. She even has begun to look at the clothing one of the owners had on display, finding them rather intriguing and to her fancy.
Once the shopping was done Beth would follow Ral to an ally way where she motioned towards a bar. Beth brow raised in confusion on the odd location but ended up just shrugging and walking her way inside. She noted all the other patrons before her eyes laid on an Elf with pink hair. She also noted the glares Ral received from the patrons.. Guess they dislike orcs... She thought with a shake of her head. I'll take some ale and any type of stew you may serve She stated as she took a seat at the table.
