[ Koltira's coming to you live from the latest addition to Oska: a blacksmith's forge, newly constructed on the castle grounds. He's standing over the anvil, hammer in hand, his implacable expression as unreadable as ever. His saronite breastplate is on the anvil, repaired back to its dark and ominously gleaming glory. The hearth behind him blazes with hungry fire, and the stone walls--already black with soot--are hung with various tools for cutting, shaping, and otherwise manipulating metal.
He lifts the hammer--a tremendous, black thing that looks like it could easily smash someone's head in--such that its oak handle rests against his bare shoulder. He's wearing only a pair of rough black trousers, slung loose on his hips; his pale hair is tied back into a ponytail. The glowing blue tattoos across his chest and forearms cast shadows in the dim forge light, evoking the silhouettes of blades over the cream-colored bricks.
Friendly and innocuous, as usual. ]
I asked Lloyd for a forge, and my petition was granted.
[ He taps the breastplate with his free hand. ]
I needed to repair my armor after answering Achilles's challenge.
[ Koltira speaks tonelessly, as though referring to ancient history, though the fight weighs on him still. He pauses for just a second, his long ears twitching, and then he moves on. ]
I have materials enough for other repairs, should you require them. If you'd like a weapon crafted, I can accommodate a few requests on that score as well.
[ He bows his head slightly. ]
You need only ask.

[ Not exactly true, but he figures it's ultimately an unpleasant experience for anyone who thinks to try. ]
no subject
["Much" as in "at all", but his salt over all that is actually not high on his priority list for once, because Koltira's a fucking elf.]
But I probably wouldn't've bothered anyway--the ones back home aren't as cool as an actual real-life elf. Come ooon, man, I'll do something for you if you want!!

[Look how his eyes just widened.]
What the fuck, that's awesome.
no subject
I am a death knight of the Ebon Blade.
And it is not 'awesome'.
no subject
[Seriously, death knight. How cool is that? Probably explains the kickass username, too.]
What's the Ebon Blade? Like, an organization of other zom--er, undead elves?? There's lots of you guys?
[TELL HIM EVERYTHING, KOLTIRA, this is so exciting]
no subject
None here.
no subject
[Only one death knight elf, then. Too bad. But not to be easily deflated:]
What do you guys do? In the Ebon Blade? If you're knights, do you work for a king or a lord or something?
no subject
We fight for our world, and we answer to ourselves.
no subject
Ohhh, kinda like mercenaries then, huh.
What's the coolest mission you ever did for the Ebon Blade? Do you guys have missions? Maybe quests is a better word.
no subject
That is neither your business, nor your concern.
[ Haven't ground out enough rep for that talk yet. ]
Enough. If you have no material requests, we are done.
no subject
You're no fun, man.
What if I did ask for a thing. Could you show me some magic at least??
[shuusei kagari: 22 or 2, it is a mystery]
no subject
[ Annnd he hangs up. Because it's true: he isn't any fun.
(Nor he is interested in performing, like a monkey, for a stranger.) ]
