Might as well get these done in one fell swoop.

Shana, Shadow, and Valyn--

I'm going to be staying in my room tonight, I think. You're welcome to join me, if you want, but I don't want to hold any of you up if you have other plans.

Miss Inoue--

I feel terrible. Is there any way I can make it up to you?

At least let me apologize in person...

Also...I'm going to be spending tonight testing my abilities. Some of these abilities involve the reshaping of metal. I'm not entirely sure if I can make weapons from scratch yet, but if anyone needs a blade sharpened or reformed and is willing to let me experiment on it, I will be in M88.

Thank you.

You can forge weapons too?

I...think so. I can melt and reshape metal and stone, so...in theory, yes.

...

Can't you?

Yes, I can. I'm a swordsmith but that's not a common trait among dragons in my world.

...Huh, weird. It's very common among the the Kin back home.

Could you...teach me how to forge blades specifically? I'd be eternally grateful.

It could be more common than I know. I haven't explored Gensoukai for a long time.

I can teach you, but I would need tools to forge a blade. And patience. I don't have either of those things.

...I'm going to take that as a 'no,' then.

If it was a no I would have just said so. If you want me to teach you stop being such a wimp. When I make the tools I need, we'll talk about it.

Oh. Sorry.

If you could, I'd be eternally grateful. Thank you.

Just out of idle curiosity, can you read this?

[written in Draconic runes]

Reading is easier than speaking.

Oh! Brilliant!

Who taught you this language, by the way?

My ancestors. Languages come and go with their people. The other dragons I know speak Chinese and Japanese fluently.

Oh, I see.

Ah, yes, I guess that's true. I had to learn written and spoken Elvish, spoken Human, and the common Human-Elvish mix that everyone seems to speak in my world to make things easier.

The humans in your world all speak the same language?

Yeah. They used to have a whole bunch of languages, I think, but then they elves came and enslaved them and now they don't even remember the names of their old gods.

It's kind of sad.

Your kin let that happen?

We didn't have a choice. They were too powerful, and we were too few. If they had known we existed, they would've hunted us down.

I know I'm ignorant of your circumstances but I will tell you this:

There is always a choice. Accept that you made one and stand by it if it's what you believe. I won't put up with crap excuses.

I'm sorry, I should've clarified--

Those were their excuses, not mine. By the time I was born, this had been going on for hundreds of years.

But we're changing it. My sister and I--along with our friends--are trying to stop the elves and free the humans.

I'll teach you to forge. Show me what you can do tonight.

Thank you.
