I had not originally intended to make any formal announcement regarding my workshop. However, after seeing Sophie’s recent notice advertising her own establishment, I was reminded that certain opportunities are best stated plainly rather than left to rumor. With that in mind, I am opening a limited number of workshop roles and apprenticeship positions at my facility, Contingency Plan, located at Guardiandocks.

He gets a small measure of respect for treating Master Eiji well. It surely would have gone poorly if he were rude about the unknown master smith. It's something across the gap between the man of his station and Mizu.
She cannot help the hesitation to share her blade, to hand it over to a stranger to inspect. It's so personal an item and the sword made for herself, no one else. Her sword. Her soul. However, it's also one of the only items she's made she has on her person. It's certainly the one that best showcases her skill. So Mizu knew, in coming, that he would want to see her sword and that to gain access to the forge, she would need to share it.
She closes her eyes, takes a deep breath, and centers herself. Then Mizu draws her sword, the one reforged from the first blade she made, stronger and less brittle due to its better balance. It retains the same blue, the wave pattern, and the distinctive sound when it resonates. Mizu holds the blade in two hands and holds it out toward him. ]
It is the fastest way for you to see what I am capable of.
[ She can hardly expect to make something to showcase her skills. Nor would she want to make a sword simply for the act of making it. Swords have souls, and they belong to people. She would need the right person to make the right sword for. While one person comes to mind, he does not need a sword. So she offers her own, much as it feels wrong to let a stranger inspect her sword. ]
