Where's the Blacksmith

He kept his gaze turned toward the leathers and materials in front of him, testing and feeling a few more while Sirius spoke about how the weapons and armors they had were mainly used in protection and training, how the Armada was built as protection for another pack, and how he was specifically looking for armors for his various grandchildren. Ruga couldn't keep himself from smirking at how strangely wholesome it all was and he was glad that his face was turned away so he could hide it. He had phrased his question and said it in such a way that many other alphas that had employed him in the past would have started boasting and bragging about their conquests and telling him how his work would be appreciated in their armies and all the other senseless rambling that power hungry wolves tended to do.

He nodded in response while he pondered things for a bit longer, wrestling with himself between the promise he made to himself that he'd never associate with a pack again and the temptation to actually have everything he needed to craft whatever he wanted whenever he wanted... The idea of not having to hunt for his own materials and having a place to set up a real shop was very, very tempting. He tossed Sirius another grin and told him, "Well, I think I've seen enough. You have some fine materials here to work with." He turned and left the cellar, still making a decision as he stepped back out into the sunlight. By the time they were both out and he had turned to face Sirius again he had made up his mind and he shocked even himself.

"You know... I don't know if you have a spot open in your ranks for a permanent blacksmith, but... if you do I might be interested," he told the Warlord, shrugging the heavy bag off of his shoulder and settling back onto his haunches. He smirked as he added, "It sounds like I'd be here for at least a few months anyway with all this work you have lined up for me so might as well just make it official, eh? Making armor and weapons for grandkids sounds like a pretty nice job to me."
