"Am I ever sure of anything?" I give my sly grin, the rest of my face matching my amusement. "They're good guys. I've been with them all week. They haven't hurt me. And they've helped me understand my... well, magic."

I nodded. "Wonder if they could help me with mine," I mumbled bitterly, pulling the sword out of the fire and beginning to work once more. I seriously doubted it. Besides, even if they could, there was no way my dad would ever let me go. The closest to fire I was allowed to go was this forge.

"Probably. Blondie's a smart guy. And even though he doesn't act it, so is 'Guo... I could see before I go." I shrug and walk over to him next to the fire. "I wonder if you could come with us. It'd be a shame to leave another friend..."

I growled in frustration, taking it out in carefully-controlled bursts on the sword I was finishing. I didn't want to leave it weakened, I wanted to do the best job I could.
"Even if you did, I'd never be able to go," I said."You're forgetting Dad. He'd never let me leave, especially with people who'd teach me about fire." Clang. Clang. Clang. Clang. "He hates it, and he hates me for it."

"..." I give a blank stare. "...Why not just leave and go without telling him, then?" I question with a slightly hopeful tone. "I mean. It's not that you can't go on without him... and I know you're tough. And I can help you. I don't see any problems here..." I say this so flatly. I never had parents. I don't know the parental attachment thing at all.

"Run away from home?" I asked. "Don't tempt me. Chalybs is different from the rest of Allroum, though. I'm not free of him 'till I'm 18; he could send people to hunt me down and find me. Don't want you to get hurt, Rin."

I smile ever so lightly. "Why do people always worry about me...?"
Ryn, would you mind...?
My power is yours, Rin.
"Shinny, look here." I wait for him to take his eyes off the forge. And I focus on the energy I felt those times. I channel myself with Rynsaeth...
And I could feel the metal materialize around the nubs of my arms. They glowed silver for just a moment before a flash of light. From my nubs, now there were two blades extending from them, a cap around the nubs, as not to injure them, and secure the blades. "I don't think you have to worry about me anymore, Shinny..."

My eyes widened. First of all, because it was a spectacular display of power, coming from someone who.. well, Rin wasn't exactly, normal, but... this was completely new.
Second, because I could feel her doing it. Something resonated inside me, called out to my soul. I could almost feel an... echo, of some kind. The fire in my forge flared, suddenly, and the brand on my arm started to burn beneath the metal band.
"Holy crap!" I said, startled. "Rin, what... what did you just do?"

I grin my grin of amusement. "I told you. I'm some sorcerer-magician-thing. I wasn't just dreaming this time..." I take a breath and let the blades disappear in the flash.
"Besides, I told you, I can craft better blades than you.."

"I...."
No use telling her what I was actually talking about; this was Rin. But, one thing was clear - whatever it was, I needed to talk to whoever she was leaving with.
"I need to meet this Blondie," I said, trying to sound casual. "If he can make you an expert swordsmith..."

"He didn't do it. Ryn did..." I smile, looking up, for the smile was for her. "But I can take you to meet Blondie... Maybe we can get donuts, too... Donuts are the best, Shinny." My voice returns to a flat, serious tone.

"Aren't those that new pastry they're importing?" I asked, confused. "Whatever, just... I need to meet him."

I nod. "Alright. Whenever you want to go, just tell me... I know he's staying at this inn that makes incredible donuts... No, come on. Come now. I want donuts.." I command as I walk over and grab the chest of his shirt with my teeth and begin dragging him.

"Nope. No time. Donuts." Was my only response as I get behind him and push against him with my own back. "Go, go, go. It doesn't matter right now."
