[Shortly after the last message, Scintilla will find a newcomer at her door. Ayato is prompt in his arrival, a mix of casual attire and blue jay feathers in his hair. There's a bit of a smile he gives, but there's plenty of respect in his tone.]
When you said you were a blacksmith, I wasn't expecting to see such a great display of care and detail as you have here. [A beat, and he places one hand on his chest and nods his head.] Hinoki Ayato, a pleasure. Would it be presumptuous of me to assume that you're Scintilla?
[The place reminds him of the forges back in Inazuma, but this has a different feel to it. It's nostalgic, in some ways, and it's one he doesn't mind.]
Any smith's only as good as the worst they're willin' to put their name on. 'Sides that, in a plce like this s' best to overstock than understock.
[The copious amounts of weapons arranged carefully on racks against the walls did in fact back this sentiment up.]
You'd have the right of it, mate. Ain't the easiest to miss, for a change. [She flicked an ear, pulling off thick gloves and offering a clawed hand.] Good t'meet ya.
So I seem to recall from past memories. In some ways, I think you may put some Inazuman swordmakers to shame.
[Were this back when he first arrived, handshaking would seem like such an odd thing. As it stands here now, however- Ayato gracefully returns the handshake, one gloved hand of his own grabbing hers and offering a firm hold. His smile is a gentle one.]
Likewise. Thank you for taking the time to accept my request and curiosity. [There's a moment where he pauses, then summons his sword so Scintilla can see it in full view.]
This is the sword in question. While mostly used when I channel water elements through the blade, I can't help but be concerned that I may be missing something in terms of care.
