Eira floated patiently in front of Erik. An array of variously colored ingots floated in front of her. She still had a few favorites among the colors provided here, which she was not shy about showing by subtly pushing them forward using her tail, but unfortunately for her, Erik just chuckled and ignored her preferences.
The choice of material was far too important to be determined based on color.
Noticing that, Eira sighed, but decided to devote her attention to thinking more about her design plans instead.
Meanwhile, Erik carefully inspected every ingot. He touched them, weighed them, tested how thundersnow flowed through them, and simply tried to identify the different metals while attempting to recall everything he knew about them.
Every ingot he passed, he put in one of three categories: probably, maybe, and 'I'd rather call this whole thing off.'
