By the time that Walker, Alice, and Rise had finished their time in the forge, Walker had been thoroughly talked to death.

"I thought you would never enter a forge, it's very confined in there." Mordant saw the three as they made it to the top of the ship. They had all taken time to rest. Rise hadn't really needed it but she was still very interested to see the process in which Walker stored the natural mana for Slice to use. She wanted to see the results of what had been made.
"I was overseeing the creation of a valuable new mana storage gem that could change the armors all dragonkin and dragons wear. You should spend more of your time valuing the future of the dragons." Rise's response was sharp enough to cut.
