"Ah, the dagger!" the blacksmith boomed, his eyes twinkling with amusement. "A classic choice for a nimble fighter. And a good choice at that. Now, let's talk about armor.

We can even add some flexibility with leather greaves and bracers."
Marlowe's face lit up with a grin. This armor, custom-made to fit her needs, sounded perfect. A thrill of anticipation bubbled within her.
Alex and Brittany watched the exchange between Marlowe and the blacksmith with amusement.
