A particular set of skills

With the direction given, Artorias seemed to be off to the races and got to sketching out a blade right away. Deimos watched as the shape and idea of a dagger with a fairly straight blade with an angled tip formed on the paper. He unfortunately had only met Ikigai's mother and the cultural influences that she and Darika followed more closely seemed to come from her father's side so he didn't have much to reference, but Artorias seemed confident that this was in the vain that he was looking for. Since her father's pack was in Auster it made sense that Artorias might have had interactions with Hanzō before. When his fellow alpha turned the sketch toward him and asked for his approval on the design, Deimos easily nodded with a pleased smile. It was a fine looking dagger regardless and if it was half as finely crafted as the other blades he had seen from The Hallows wolves he was sure it would be lovely when it was done. "That looks great. I think that will fit the bill nicely." Then came the fit and finishings. Artorias presented two options for the blade's construction: forged steel or Carpathian steel. He was sure the first option would be easier to pay for and he would be able to get Darika's gift to her sooner, but when he thought about a gift that he wanted his daughter to have with her for the rest of her life he knew no price was going to be too high. "If you don't mind the extra effort, I think I'd like to go for the Carpathian steel," he decided after a moment of thought. "It will be more than worth the wait, I'm sure."
