The Key to Happyness

Her eyes didn't follow as the boy threw the sword. She simply crossed her arms as she watched him stand to retrieve it. "If ya'd like some instructin I'd be glad to help." She had never bothered building a second forge, no one here was skilled enough or even interested in trying. The most interest this room ever created was when people had broken something or they wanted request a weapon. The only other person who would come in here was the commander.. and well... he was a sweet guy. But he had a base to keep in order.
 
He either didnt hear her, or he wasnt acknowledging her. He tries the blade against the panel again. It bends again. He looks mad this time. He pulls the blade from the wall and tosses it on the floor, muttering "Rubbish." He grabs the previous blade, inspects it and tosses it with the knife, muttering again, "Rubbish." He picks up he rifle and mutters as he passes her on the way out. "Useless." He keeps walking and sits back on the bench where he started.
 
She only stared as the boy walked away. That wasn't quite the reaction she had been expecting. He didn't quite strike her as the angry type. Perhaps this was something a little more closer to home. Something to do with metal work perhaps? Either way she didn't really have time to pursue him or the thought. She had weapons to forge. She walked over picking up the blades he had begun. She took them, walking over to the forge. She decided she would refine these a little. Give them a proper polish. Perhaps give them to the boy later. They were mostly his work, and they weren't bad in any stretch. She found herself smiling as she sat down and got to work. It was only moments before a rhythmic hammering began to emanate from the forge.
