"Here take this and come with me. Show me if you have a talent in blacksmithing." Agnes gave Bruna a hammer and a small leather bag.
"The hammer, is for the raw things if you want or have to get into detail use the tools in the bag." Agnes way of speaking was like Björn's. She only said what needed to be said. The only difference was that she spoke things aggressive. Björn had an indifferent tone but was not rude.
"Then what do I have to do." Bruna never even tried blacksmithing in her whole life. Agnes watched every single one of her steps and pulled out a simple mettle cube from a wardrobe.
"Look at this. What do you think you can do with that?" Agnes throws the cube on a desk next to Bruna. Bruna looked at it.
'That's a fucking mettle cube how should I know this' Bruna had no idea. She searched her whole brain just to find a single idea. She opened the leather bag and looked at the things inside it. But there was still nothing she could think about.
"I have no idea, say what can I do with that." Bruna looked with the same puzzled face as before now at Agnes.
"Simple nothing. It is just a fucking mettle cube." Agnes blunt tone came out like a bullet and hit Bruna.
'Then why did you ask me this?' Bruna was now pissed. She looked with an angry gaze at Agnes trying her best to hold back and not shout out loud.
"Björn asked me this when I first started working here and until today, I have no goddamn idea what you could do with that cube." For the first time in there, entire conversation. Agnes spoke not with anger but had a smile on her face. She just asked this question every single time someone new came here. She wanted to know the answer and maybe someone other knew it.
"Well, enough of the child play I will give you a short intercourse. Follow everything I say you and soon you will be an expert if it comes to blacksmithing." Agnes waved her hand as a gesture too follow her.
Agnes explained in the most precise detail how every hand movement must be seen. They began to forge small daggers. Every move by Agnes looked perfect and professional. She tried it often but failed at the smallest handle. The blades of the daggers she made were always bent or blunt. But everything worked out for Björn. With just a few strokes he formed a whole armor and not only the rough but also the small handles he mastered perfectly. He added some gold accents to the armor. Bruna wondered how Björn could draw such precise lines with his huge hands.
"Uuh. I can't even make a single dagger how should I survive a whole month?" Bruna questioned and had no idea how she should do even a single thing.
"Do not worry this takes time you are not a natural talent like Agnes but what do you think how the others started?" Björn knew she was an enemy, but he had different approaches to the whole thing. Talking to Bruna, he felt that she wasn't a bad person through and through. After all, she also participated in the search for Personia and as far as he knows she didn't even bother to do anything to harm them. His personal plan was to befriend her and get her on his side. He was not a supporter of Leon's intrigues better said he hated them.
"You are right I just need to try this again and again and one day Boom I will be good at it." Bruna was determined that she would learn this.
"Hey guys your shift is over go home." Björn spoke in a shell and his voice could be heard in the entire department.
Everyone put their things together and headed for the showers. Bruna walked out of the shared shower into the changing room and mumbled softly to herself.
"The two are still not outside?"
"If you mean Mr. Björn and Agnes then you should know that they only come later. The two of them always work late into the night and finish what we all couldn't manage." A woman who was also in the changing room answered.
"Björn really trust's Agnes they get along with each other well. There is even a rumor that the two are a couple." Another woman added with a big smile on her face.
Bruna thought that it could be true. Agnes looked often at Björn. But when she thought about what the two of them would do alone in this big room, she shook her head to wipe the thought out of her brain.
'Come on Bruna you are the holy maiden you are not allowed to think about something like this.' Buna was not an innocent when it came to perverted things. To be more precise, she was even interested in them. She just needed a reason to get that thought out of her head.
She put on her clothes as soon as possible and walked away. But the thoughts that ran throughout her brain would not allow her to sleep tonight.

Meanwhile
"Just like I thought. She is just a normal woman after all." A black shadow said silent in a corner.
"I have to inform master Leon and Amon maybe they are going to pat my head again today." And soon the shadow disappeared with a grinning face leaving not a single trace behind.
