"Have 3 issues I wanted to bring up. First is, I hate to bother people, but I just finished making a batch of candies and haven't enchanted them yet."

With this she holds up a little white sugar candy with a pink kitty head in the center, "If anyone wants to try them, and let me know how they are. Well, since I don't have any actual molds and the only flavorings were some tree sap that went with all the bacon that was used, I could use the critique."

"Second is, does anyone do blacksmithing here? I haven't seen a proper forge, but I haven't wanted to dig through everything. Privacy is almost nonexistant here and I don't want to but in on someone's personal space if there is one in hiding."

"Finally, and this is going to sound a bit odd since I look maybe twelve, but. I haven't really have a lot of experience with living like this in as long as I can remember. Watching the exploits of others on a giant screen, going on about love and what not, birthdays. These are all things I've seen, and I know they have meaning... I just haven't really paid attention to them in so long, I've kind of forgotten if they are actually important, or just a way of passing the time till the next disaster."

"Anyways, thanks."

"What do you need blacksmith for?"

Fëanor is more cautious with offers of help now. So spill the details kid, maybe you'll get him interested.

"I need to have a new magic rod made. One that preferably won't catch on fire after the first lightning bolt, or dry out and whither the first time I channel other magic through it to bonk someone trying to get too close. I'm not really asking for the moon and the stars, just a simple pattern I have and leave the rest up to the smith's muses."

"A staff? That's easy. What happened to your last one?"

Because there was last one, wasn't it? If it was destroyed he would want to know how. It's a lot easier to built-in safeguards when you know what are you protecting the item from.

"Not a Staff, a Rod. There are subtle differences, but um. It didn't show up with me here, and I haven't had the materials to do much more than improvised ones here which channel mana poorly. I mean the last one at home I destroyed just.... Got old. A few hundred years will do that when channeling lightning and negative energy into a scythe blade."

A Stick You Channel Energy Through is A Staff. A rod is just a long piece of metal!
Can't those people really even get the terminology right?! It's not that difficult!

"Fine, so you need a metal stick. Great. How long?" There's a significant pause before he adds. "Did just say your previous one had a blade? That's even less a rod."
