“And while you’re kind of exposed to the heat, I guess it won’t bother you with the weather today,” the blacksmith assumed in his explanation of the procedures necessary to run the work in his stead. Hon donned leather pants and warm, fuzzy polar bear or tiger pelt around his waist whilst his torso was fully exposed. It was a dilemma to work with a forge in the middle of winter; it was cold outside, and the stingy cold made itself much more apparent up in the mountainous civilization known as the Hidden Cloud Village. On the other hand, however, the forge’s heat was unbearable… but didn’t Hon have a forge back at home?
He did like building stuff. Mostly shields, shurikens, figurines and sculptures. However, he never had the aid of an actual forge before a week after his Chuunin Exams. Let’s just say that he got a lot of help and aid from these blacksmiths, so after returning from an investigation mission up north - which had arguably colder weather - he felt generous and wanting to repay the favor that these friends of his had given him. If not for their help, his Hidden Carpal Blades would be mere scraps taped together; impractical in the battlefield and just a child’s work.
Now, he wasn’t busy welding and forging weapons today. Nah, people really got into jewelry, and while he enjoyed experiencing a meddle work with emeralds and other noble stones, he felt like challenging himself… or the people in the town. With a little creativity, he painted a sign saying ‘Come and get any welded object of your liking for yen’. That should do the job…
