Assuming the Fae of Auriel share the same aversion to iron as those of the Feywild from where I am from, I am offering to craft temporary weapons and tools from non-iron materials for anyone preparing for the mission. My trade lies in metalwork, with modest skill in wood and leather. Brass, bronze, bone, horn, or seasoned wood are all suitable.

Time before departure is limited, so I can only take a few commissions.

Separately, I am pursuing a personal project involving spell storage and glyphcraft. If anyone has experience in such work, I would appreciate a private exchange of ideas.

A request held in reserve. Now that is interesting. And considerate. Whatever you have in mind, it can certainly wait. Missions are not the place for side commissions, especially the sort introduced with that tone.

When we return, please address me properly and share your thoughts with me. I do not need the details now, and I will not pry. Some ideas settle better when given time to develop.

I will have the forge ready afterwards, provided the world has not collapsed beneath our feet. Bring me the concept, the purpose, or even just the feeling you want the thing to carry. So long as it can be made without iron, I can shape it.

Until then, keep your mystery intact. It will give me something to look forward to that is not an impending catastrophe.

[ That was a lot of words for, 'ask me later'. ]

Very well.

It seems I slipped into the tone I use when I sound far more critical than I truly am. It happens more often than I’d like to admit. I promise I’m perfectly reasonable at least twelve percent of the time.

And look at you, managing to get me there with only two words. Efficient, if nothing else.

I had not thought your tone critical.
