Eleven

There's nobody here to make weapons.

[Blunt, void of feeling, and crisp. She doesn't even drum her fingers on the counter beside the open book.]

Winry's gone too.

[One more dart.]

If you want to work here, there's room.

[As long as you leave her alone and don't ask about interviews.]

[Those interested in purchasing her wares, picking up things they asked for, or unpleasant conversation with Raven the eternally grumpy, can find her in the smithy in the morning through midafternoon, and then in the cafe, trying and failing to sort out what she's supposed to do with an art club it pains her to attend.]

[The surprise wears off and she nods, looking around as she asks.]

If I may partake in one of the molds... I trust arrows would suffice?

[Sigh.]

... If you have a mold in the forge, I could use that to at least start on a proper blade today in order to show you. Producing quality metalworks in but a single day is something that I simply cannot do, so I would have to be permitted the time to finish in order to prove my worth to you.

A blade then - a hilt would take longer, but I can at least create a quality blade within a couple of days.

[Finally, a hint of a smile on Adela's face. She nods to Raven, pausing for a beat.]

Where may I work?
enchantressofore: Thanks to Tarot for the B/W bases! (I am not so great yet...)

[She nods, intent on getting to work - and meeting with Leon and Asami while doing so considering that the log is supposed to be on the same day. She does in fact create a beautiful steel rapier blade, flexible enough to bend effortlessly but sturdy enough to retain its shape after such bending.

Only after its final temper and polish does Adela present it, nervous about its impending appraisal. It might be a fine work by her standards, but she doesn't know if Raven will look at it with such a kind eye.]

[That's a small relief, and it shows in her posture.]

Shall I take it to Asami and Leon then, or would you prefer to do so?
enchantressofore: Thanks to Tarot for the B/W bases! (Maybe you are not so terrible.)

[Adela finally manages a smile, relieved and determined at once as she takes the blade back carefully.]

I will, then. You have my gratitude for the opportunity, Raven.
