Please do! Metalworking is a talent I can admire, since I would never be any good at it myself. It'll be interesting to see what you come up with next.
No, I never have. It seemed... wasteful to try and end up messing something up. I just stuck to making baskets or rope if someone needed an extra hand. I liked helping Sulahni the most. She's our halla keeper. So you see, it makes your gift all the more special. I love the halla. They're such good listeners.
Very much so. They've helped me through hard things. I could just tell them what was in my heart and I knew they understood, and felt for me.
[ Halla are so attuned with the People. The halla keepers are the best at communicating with them, though. It seems like Sulahni can read a halla's mind. ]
[ For Ellana, it touches her as more than just a simple gift. She has issues like everyone else, but one of her big ones is that she doesn't matter. That people view her as someone meant to be used and then forgotten. Taking time to do something just for her means a lot. ]

[ Just like her metal necklace with the halla horns design. The ring goes with it perfectly. ]
I enjoyed just sitting and catching up with you. Thank you so much for thinking of me.
[ Now she's trying not to get misty eyed. She takes her leave of his room, admiring the ring as she goes. ]
It's very fine work, Sam. You could definitely recreate the ring you lost, if you've a mind to.

[He's clearly proud to hear that his work is being enjoyed and complimented.]
I'll probably make another ring, but I'm not sure about recreating the previous one. Different amount of skill and all.

[ Just as she's done with her staff blade. His skill deserves to be spoken of. ]

[He sounds a bit bashful when he says that, laughing softly at how enthusiastic Ellana is about his work.]
I've got a couple of ideas I'm playing with. If I make them I'll be sure to show you.

You know if you ever wanted to try, even just for fun, there is always scraps of metal to practice on.

Would you help me if I wanted to?
no subject
If you wanted to, yes. I'm not the best at it though.
no subject
I think I would like to give it a go. And you can rest assured that I'll be far worse than you could ever be.
no subject
Well I don't know about that. I was pretty bad - I'll still not that great. Just takes a lot of practice.

I meant it when I said I'll always wear it.

Even though she can't see it he is smiling, even more broadly at the emphasis on not taking off the ring.]
I believe you. It means a lot to know that you like it so much.

[ She giggles softly. ]
Anyway, thank you again, and I look forward to practicing metalwork with you when you return.
