Seastone, Blacksmiths, & Regarding Ash's Training

Hey Ash, if you're reading this (otherwise I'll just bring it up next session) I'm thinking of picking up the pace of your training. You're coming along pretty well, but I should talk it over with your other coach, if just to make sure we don't overdo it. What do you think?

To any and all blacksmiths here; it's a long shot since there's no marines, do any of you know how to work with seastone? Anyone at all. If not, I still need a jitte made, but it will take a lot since it goes through more abuse than a lance and needs a tailored weight.

Thirty-four. It's not old!

Got somethin' of a midlife crisis goin' on, Smokey?

Tch. Hardly. [If you couldn't only see his overcompensating motorcycle you'd know how false that is...]

Uh-huh. [Don't worry, he's obvious enough.]

At least I can follow through on things.

Okay, look. You wanna know the reasons I don't want to train the kid?

One: I've got one student already who'd make a way better ninja than he could ever be.

Two: His dog pisses me off.

Three: Everything I'm teachin' him you're probably undoing.

I didn't know he was seein' you too until later, and that so ain't gonna fly.

Fine. I can accept that. I didn't know he had already accepted someone else's offer and I offered to withdraw, but left it up to him.

At least he doesn't seem any worse for having two at once.

Kid's got a lot of enthusiasm. More than I can handle. If ya want to teach him, go for it, but I don't got the patience for him. Deal?

Deal.

Enthusiasm works for me.

I work at the smithy, y'know.

[Maybe it's time to start over, make a truce. The dude doesn't even remember before.]

....

[Small stream of choked muffled curses.]

Uh. Shit. Really?

Really.

Did I have my jitte the last time I was here?

Yeah, you did.

Tch. I don't know whether to be pissed that I don't have it now, or relieved that at least you know what it is.

Following the guidelines mentioned to the kid below, you think it's doable? It's fine if you can't.

It ain't too much different than makin' a big ass sai. For the weight? I'd say ya need some iron for that. Steel ain't gonna cut it.

Sounds about right on the sai.

Wouldn't iron be too brittle? I've had problems with the main piece breaking in the middle already.

Yeah, you're right. Maybe we gotta combine it with the steel, give it some strength. Either way they don't give us too much to work with. Sheet metal, mostly.

... SHEET METAL!?

That is not going to cut it... Well fuck.

Better than what I'm usta workin' with. We just melt it down.

Huh? Nah, we didn't talk much.

You can't be expectin' not to kill somebody if you're goin' into battle, but just trainin' it ain't like we're slaughterin' people for practice.

He's training to defend, not go to war.

In that case, sometimes you do whatcha gotta do.

I always do.
