( Arms crossed and hands tucked into his sleeve, Tsurumaru smiles casually as he speaks. )

I'm looking for someone with experience repairing swords. 

( Yes, it's important to get right to the point. No one has time for long winded introductions and explanations! But he supposes an explanation is still needed here so he sighs, running a hand through his hair, pushing back his bangs and scowling just a little, )

I visited a local smith and they were too rough. It felt more like a punishment than care… ( Really! It makes him shudder just thinking about it and he touches a thin scratch on his cheek, ) Eugh. My face still hurts…

( If the smith was going to handle his true form like that, they might as well have just slapped this human body across the face. )

It's a delicate blade and this is a… ( Hm, he doesn't want to have to explain everything right from the get go so he tries to find the right word, ) personal request.

[You ever facetime an old person? You know how they hold the phone waaaaay low and squint suspiciously down at the camera, like they're expecting this newfangled technology to explode?

Well. Felix is the same way, because he's a Ye Olde and he's never used anything like this before. Everything about this is annoying.]

How close were you standing? Foolish.

[Since he had to be standing near the forge to acquire that kind of injury? Damn. But since this is clearly AMATEUR HOUR:]

Visit more than one blacksmith. View their wares before handing over your weapon. [A huff.] If you care for your "delicate" blade, you should know quality craftsmanship when you see it.

( Well, he doesn't mind Felix's tongue. Even if some points are a a little off, they're good points all the same. And so, Tsurumaru stays as calm as ever, )

As close as they'd let me.

( Some smiths really like their personal space here! What a bunch of no fun losers. But of course, he isnt' reeling because he was standing close. )

If this was one of the best this world has to offer, then this world will be fine. ( They weren't bad. They just weren't what he was looking for. ) But even in my world, only a very select few were allowed to care for my blade. ( And to the camera, he holds up a very ornamental looking sword still in it's sheath. It's either very important or all looks and totally useless based on how it's decorated. ) What do you think?

( Does the mysterious sword expert have any advice? )
