Selene shoots him a sharp look, clearly displeased, but before she can say anything, the blacksmith finally speaks up, his voice low and gravelly but carrying an undeniable authority. "That's enough," he says, looking up from his work for the first time. His eyes are hard as steel as they fix on Cedric. "You want to pick a fight, you do it somewhere else. I don't tolerate that kind of shit in my shop. Now get out."
Cedric glares at the blacksmith, clearly unaccustomed to being spoken to in such a manner. "Do you know who my mother is, you senile mutt?" he spits, his voice dripping with contempt. "Leia 'The Serpent Queen' Viperis- one of the most important people in the Divine Nectar faction! I could have this entire dump buried with a singe word of mine, so I suggest you start showing some respect!"
