Dressed to keep cool in her steamy-hot workspace, the redhead simply wore a charcoal grey bikini top and a pair of cut-off denim shorts, and a pair of well-made leather boots with a shield of steel around her toes. Her toned muscles shinied slightly through the layer of sweat that coated her short frame. Her incredibly long hair was a little more intricate today, as she had woken up a little too early in her excitement for her new project – she had taken the time to separate it into three smaller braids then braid those three into one large braid.
What was this new project? The teenage master blacksmith had been asked to inspect and upgrade a creation of the Steward-Kazekage himself, the Titian Hammer. A wide smile was obvious on the girl's face as she worked, her leather-gloved hands swinging a hammer as she reinforced the steel the hammer was made of with a special alloy she had ordered specifically for the project – she was determined to make this project her best work to date, and she had begun the project as soon as their make-shift sun had begun to lighten the cavern where their city lay.
Once she had completed the upgrades on the hammer itself, Amy turned her attention to the handle and its slightly worn grip. Picking up the large weapon with surprising ease and moving it to her worktable she set it down then and moved to look through the leathers and other materials she had stored for wrapping weapon hilts and chose a resilient top-grain leather that had been dyed a dark charcoal grey. Nodding a little at her choice, she smiled and moved to sit on the tall, backless wooden stool she had paired with her table and began to remove the old leather. Once she had it all off, she polished the whole handle then wrapped a piece of soft batting around the grip to add a bit more comfort to the weapon, she also added a thin strap of the same leather to be slipped around the wrist of the user to help with disarming before she picked up the leather strip and began to wrap it carefully around the batting, taking extra care to cover all of the white cotton and making sure the leather was wrapped evenly,
Once she had finished, she hefted the large weapon over her shoulder and went out into her small testing yard and took a few practice swings to check the balance on the newly reinforced hammer. Satisfied with her craftsmanship, she wound back through her reception area and into her workshop to hang the hammer from a set of extra wide brackets until Sousuke returned to pick up his weapon.
