13 The crafters

Ondrej backed up a bit as the people in front of him stared at himhe himself was 180 cm in height but still felt intimidated by the woman who stared at him "T-Thank you" he said stuttering a bit as the presumably blacksmithing went towards him and slapped his back while chuckling "Don't be afraid boss we just look intimidating me and Laura over there work together in the same shop when Arthur told us what you done we agreed to help you out" the blacksmithing said while Laura shook hear head "At least say your name you big oaf" she said as she went towards Ondrej "As this big oaf said my name is Laura and his name is Terence" she made a small bow before extending her arm Ondrej took it and shook it while introducing himself "Ondrej nice to meet you both" he said as Laura touched the pelt of the Red Lightning wolf "May i ask why its missing it's head ?" Laura asked as she tilted hear head a bit before Ondrej gave the pelt to her and explained everything, Laura laughed "you shoot it of ? wow you must really made the rifle well" she said she softly chuchkled and Ondrej just smiled nervously as Silver started to sniff Laura's leg.

Laura noticed Silver and looked at him "And you managed to tame a Grey Back ? you get more Interesting by the second" she chuckled as Terence grinned "Sure he does shall we get to work Ondrej ?" Terence asked as he looked at Ondrej who nodded a bit, Arthur smiled "if you want we can prepare room for you here in the administrative bulding Ondrej" he said trying to get Ondrej to stay to which Ondrej just smiled and said "Thank you but if it'll be possible i want to spend as little time here as possible no offense the settlement looks nice but im more of a loner" he said with his nervous smile Arthur nodded understanding what he mean and smiled "Well good luck on you're travels" he said bit saddened he didn't get him to stay and Ondrej bowed softly "Thank you for understanding" he said.

Terence smiled and went towards the door and the same did Laura while Ondrej turned to Elize and smiled at her but she grabbed his shoulder and said softly "Thank you for saving me" she smiled brightly as shw said so while Ondrej smiled softly and said "No problem next time don't get caught" he winked at her making Elize's heart melt and leave her blushing, as they left Ondrej smiled to himself and followed the two craftsman being rather happy it worked out.

As they arrived in front of a rather small ruined house which was hastily fixed up Ondrej looked at it and shrugged as he followed the two inside and saw one side being covered by blacksmithing equipment while the other side of the place had leather working equipment and was more tidied up, Ondrej chuckled up a bit and went to help them out as much as he could.

After 10 hours of work the katana was done and from the pelt was a bracelets made since it added stamina from the remaining bit Laura made a small pouch Ondrej was happy from this and thatnked them both as he wished them best and went to leave the settlement a surprise waited for him at the gates, when Ondrej and Silver arrived at the gate Elize was waiting there with equipment looking as if she was ready to fight someone Ondrej tilted his head when he saw but payed her little mind as he went to ask the people working at the gate to open it for him, they did so qs Elize pouted "You're just gonna leave me here ?" she asked as she saw Ondrej's new katana and his bracelets, the small pouch and grinned "Guess dad chosen the right people"

Ondrej sighed a bit softly "Im guessing you want to come with" Elize nodded her armor looked to be a bit too much as it had to be heavy "thats nice but first go ask Arthur to give you lighter armor or you're going to be a lot slower than me and Silver" Ondrej said in serious tone as he didn't need to take so much breaks when he himself had rather light armor Elize opened her mouth to object but Ondrej stopped her with saying "I'll wait just outside the gate" to that Elize smiled and went to get lighter armor as Ondrej waited outside the gate sitting down on a larger boulder while Silver layed next to the boulder and took a nap.
