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.]

[Action]
If I may partake in one of the molds... I trust arrows would suffice?
[Action]
I can't really judge arrows. Maybe Asami can.
[Action]
... 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.
[Action]
Starting is okay.

[Finally, a hint of a smile on Adela's face. She nods to Raven, pausing for a beat.]
Where may I work?
[Action]
[Action]
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.]
[Action]
The others have to see it, too. [Being the more versed in things...like that.] But it's not bad.
[Action]
Shall I take it to Asami and Leon then, or would you prefer to do so?
[Action]
[At this point, she would almost be okay with Adela in the smithy, because she appears to know what she's doing and some of her other candidates are Deadpool.]
[Action]
I will, then. You have my gratitude for the opportunity, Raven.
