He listened as the larger wolf explained the reasoning behind making the gauntlets, and it seemed like a sound reason. As a trader he didn't worry too much about what the items he traded were going to be used for, as once they left his possession it was up to the other wolf to decide what to do with them. But using them for protection against predators did sound like a good idea... perhaps he needed to craft something like that himself. Just in case. He wasn't much of a fighter, but if push came to shove he'd much rather have access to something that'd help him out rather than needing to use his own blunt claws which were pretty ineffective.
Víðarr then asked him how to sharpen the gemstone rocks, and Bismuth smiled at him, tail tapping excitedly. He'd worked with rocks all his life, and was glad to share his knowledge to someone who wanted to know. "You need a good grinding or sharpening stone first. The best types of stones are those with metamorphic qualities such as quartz and marble, or sedimentary qualities like sandstone or shale," he said slowly, trying not to overwhelm the other wolf. "It works best if you have two of those to make a flat but sharp edge on one, and from there you scrape it along the rock you want to sharpen slowly with slow strokes until it becomes your desired sharpness and shape."
He then searched around in his make-shift rucksack for a quartz stone that had a flat edge, picking it out to show it to Víðarr. "If you don't have one you're more than welcome to take this one, I always have spares around." One could never have too many sharpening and grinding stones for all occasions. Some were smoother, others were of a rougher material if he needed to easy grind away large portions, so it was no trouble at all to give this one away.
When the other wolf offered to show him the items he'd be trading, Bismuth swiftly packed up all the items into the rucksack and heaved it over his shoulder again, taking a few moments to tie it before following. Heliodor flew up into the air to slowly follow behind the two wolves, keeping an eye out for any of the predators that the other wolf had mentioned. The short foreign phrase flew over Bismuth's head, but it certainly had to mean something along the lines of 'this way', and so he walked beside Víðarr, in step with the much larger wolf even if it meant he had to hurry his steps just a tad to keep up. "Have you lived here long?"
