After leaving the bathhouse, Bane and Lysia walked over to the shop he had heard about earlier in the day; The Bearded Barrock's Broken Blacksmith.
"Why are you so interested in black smithing? I am sure that Bilgarth would have suggested you go to Tony's shop if you would have waited."
Bane shook his head. "Tony sounds like some white guy that works for the mafia, and from what I heard, his shop is pristine and clean. Not only that, but according to everyone I heard, he is a nice and polite guy! Can you believe that?"
Lysia scrunched up her face. "Why do you say that in such a condescending voice?"
Bane shrugged. "It's a blacksmith. I may not know much about fantasy and magic, but I have been in my fair share of shops. The best ones are the dirty, seedy looking buildings that look on the verge of falling down. They also have to be messy, but the number one thing?"
"What?"
"The owner has to be an asshole!"
