Stepping just outside the doorway, Theo turns back to his newest endeavor, and with one "wipe" of his hand, erases the runes written upon air in the doorway. With the same finger, he writes a new message in the air... "This shop is now open. Enter only if you are willing to pay the cost of whatever you are about to ask. If you have a dispute, ask for 'Theo,' and up to 2 new apprentices will be accepted upon review of applications provided within the week." The new message glows as much as the first one did, making an unofficial 'curtain' between the doorway and the rest of the shop, whether the door is open or not. Surely, those who choose to venture inside must have some amount of bravery, but at least they need not be concerned with who may see what they may be doing within.

Appearing as an image within the heart of the smithy, Theo whispers an unknown spell down the tunnel to the fire elementals... The updraft of super-heated air soon cools, and the 'workers' minding their desks quickly replace all of the 'old' works with Theo's own, tossing the 'old' works down the furnace shaft to feed the elementals below. Seeming to regain their composure, the above-ground elementals still keep stealing glances away from their work, watching for Theo's return...

Two small boys, one with bright red hair and dark red streaks the other has black hair with grey streaks, walk up to the smithy, they look around for the new owner. They walk up to the large wooden table carrying two small daggers they use as swords, they reach up high sliding the daggers onto the table. bringing their arms down they look at each other "Who write note or we stay?" speaking at the same time, giggling afterwards.

Appearing from the shadows, Theo approaches the table, examines the two knives, the two boys, then speaks, "Would you like these fixed up, or are these for trade?"

Fire looks up at Theo "Fixed, they dull again." Lightning nods in agreement "But can you make markings on steel?" Fire looks over at Lightning "Oh yeah good idea, flames for me and lightning bolts for you" Lightning nods his head "That is what I was thinking." He then raises sliding three more daggers on the table "These they belong to our sisters, Rose, Grace and Lillith."

"Would you like marks on each one? Showing you whose is whose? I can put them at the base of each blade, near the hilt, or on the face of each, emblazoning upon it whose is whose. I will also sharpen and enchant them to stay sharp for up to five years apiece, but for such, you must either pay me a total of 10 silver coins, two for each blade, or convince your mother to erase one of my debts to her. Do you accept such payment?"

"If not, we may still yet come to agree on some other terms of payment, but they would be no less fair for either of us." That image of Theo says to the two youngsters.

The boys reach up pulling the daggers back to their body "We are not used to having to pay for things.We are sorry to have bothered you." They turn to start heading out of the Smithy. A large dark grey Crinoes male steps out from the side of the door "I will lead you home my prince brothers"

"Unless you ask for less or more..." Theo quickly adds, winking at them.

"Payment in silver or coin or otherwise is not neccessary," Theo shouts, "I will also accept a promise to let me live in peace here!"

The crinos male takes the daggers from the young boys, He then walks to the table looking the man in the eyes "My brothers are too young to know of payment of any sort." His voice a tad growly he sets the daggers down along with a bag of rubies and sapphires. "Take what you need to take care of my young siblings things" He then turns ushering the boys out of the smithy.

"I'll even give you Grace's dagger fixed up like I said for free, even if you decline this offer, but please, let me help you!" Theo shouts.

Taking out two tiny rubies, and one very tiny sapphire, Theo puts the rest back into the bag, and hands it back to the Chrinos. "This is still more than I require, but I'm still giving Grace hers for free. Give me half a day, and return for them."

The crinos male stops feeling the bag touch his fur, a slight growl escapes his throat thinking that Theo did not accept the payment, He turns with a fierce look within his eyes. He sees that Theo has taken a few gems. He tilts his head "No you have it wrong." He pushes the bag back to Theo.
