A particular set of skills

Once the style of weapon and the type of metal forging had been decided on and Artorias placed a check mark next to the design Deimos thought everything had been decided upon, but then he watched as Artorias went to retrieve some things from some near by drawers. He was presented with some options for the type of waving pattern in the metal and he blinked with surprise. He didn't realize this amount of detail and control could go into making something like this! He hummed with thought as he leaned closer to examine the patterns in each of them. Part of him liked the idea of just letting the metal take whatever natural, wild shape it might take, but when he thought about his daughter he knew that wasn't Darika's style. She was very proper and intentional and it only made sense to be intentional about this as well. After a few moments of thought he finally lifted a paw and pointed to a sample that almost looked like it had a line running down the middle with waves running off of either side, making it look nearly like a feather. "Artwork with cranes and other birds seem to be pretty common on the kimonos that Ikigai and Darika like and I think she'll like how neat and compact the patterning is."
