[Thanks]
Cassia Ramirez was also leaving the mess hall, preparing to head to do some training. That's when she caught sight of Zach, undoubtedly hurrying towards the forgery, and remembered something.
She jogged up to his side "Hey, Zach, I know you're really good with the forge. Do you think you could make me a new sword? Mine's seen better days, if I'm honest, and I kind of need a new one"
She hoped he would accept - she never knew, he might refuse, then she'd have to go to the forgery and try to make it herself. And if she did it herself it would be a terribly made sword. Cassia had never pretended to be good at metalworking.

Jacob laughed. “ Yeah. How do you think I became undefeatable now, Chloe? You could be, too, if you really practiced. Anyone could, actually.” He ran a hand through his hair, turning his gaze back onto the Field of Mars, activity buzzing while the forts were being set up. "I was just saying it was surprising that you admitted you weren't always as good as you are now," she looked at him blue eyes meeting blue. "Most people would just pretend they were also amazing." She paused looking back over to the field of mars as a small smile played across her face. "Did you say I don't 'really' practice?" ((Whose gonna be in the prophecy))

"Thank you so much. As for whether I'd like it like my old sword - if you don't mind, then yes, please," Cassia replied, walking alongside him as she spoke "Unless you have any other ideas, of course. I don't know"
He might have some other ideas, and Cassia was always open to hearing new suggestions, especially from someone who knew a lot more about metalworking than she did.

"Sure," Chloe said raising her eyebrows at him but she couldn't help but let out a small laugh at his response. She had just been messing with him but he had actually thought she was being serious.

"Yes to all of those things, to be honest," Cassia smiled "I'd love to be able to camouflage it. A bracelet would probably be good, I think, if you're okay to do that"
It sounded cool, being able to camouflage her weapon. She'd always wanted to do that, and who knew, it might end up coming in useful in the future.

"That you're not insulting me," Chloe rolled her eyes looking downwards. Her shoulders still shook slightly was she looked out. "You take everything so seriously," she said after a moment. The blonde praetor acted almost more like a thirty year old sometimes than the teenager he was. "You should lighten up a little."

Cassia smiled and thanked Zachary with a nod as she entered the Forge and continued "Oh, surprise me. That sounds fun. I'm sure you'll come up with something much better than I could think of anyway"

"Maybe," Chloe said smiling with a mischievous glint in her eyes as she leant against the railings beside Jacob. "It's definitely in jeopardy," Chloe added teasingly talking about his sense of humour. She had to think of a way to make him chill out a little and act like anything else other than the praetor mode he seemed to be stuck in permanently .

Zachary nodded as he entered, mumbling a 'You're welcome'. He went to his space and slid off his shirt to spare the t-shirt from the sweaty mess the tan teenager he would become. He glanced at Cassia and said,"I hope you didn't and still don't if I shed my shirt to save it from being drenched with sweat." He offered her a small smile before grabbing a portion of Imperial Gold. "Do you know how long your sword is? I-if you don't, you can always bring me your sword so that I can build your new one based off of it since you don't want any changes on the build of the sword." He placed the hunk of metal down on his anvil before looking at Cassia. He was hesitant to face Cassia fully, being slightly self-conscious of his chest even though the son of Vulcan had a nice chest with slight abs. It was just in his personality to be conscious about his looks.
Jacob groaned lightly, tension back in his frame as he leaned back on the railings, elbows resting on the material. He kept his face looking forward, a slight breeze blowing past them making his hair move around slightly, adding to the stormy look on his face as he thought about his Praetorship and his old humorous self back before he became Praetor. He said softly,"I don't really want to lose my humor. If anything, my humor helps me deal with being a Praetor sometimes. It just comes and goes nowadays, I suppose."

"Uh, no, it's fine" Cassia murmured, a little surprised at the sudden shedding of the shirt. But she wasn't ubcomfortable with it, it was fine.
When he asked how long her sword was, she measured out a length with her hands "About this long, including the handle. It's just an average length, really. It's not a longsword of anything like that."

"Here it is again," Chloe said grinning as the wind blew her blonde hair into her face and she shook her head in a bid to get it out of her eyes. "You're stressing about losing your sense of humour so much that you're being serious." She paused she'd need a new tactic if she wanted to persuade him to actually relax. "Just lighten up a little," she said softly her blue eyes warm.

Cassia was surprised to realise that even though he had previously been too nervous to look at Cassia fully facing her, when Zachary was drawing the sword he seemed to forget about his insecurities.
"Yes, it looks like that" Cassia smiled with a nod. He'd gotten it exactly right, and she was rather impressed to say the least

"Just lighten up a little," she said softly her blue eyes warm. Jacob sighed, running a hand through his hair, both blue eyes on show for a moment before his bangs dropped back in front of his right eye. He closed his eyes and took a deep breath, trying to calm down and loosen up. He pointed his face downward, his expression solemn as he focused on calming down. His muscles slowly relaxed, and he let his eyes flutter open when he felt completely calm... Or as close as calm as he could get.

Chloe spluttered with laughter as she watched Jacob attempt to loosen up. He looked slightly constipated. "I can help you," she offered in her best helpful tone but a mischievous sparkle in her eyes revealed how funny she found this all because Jacob was always so formal and rigid but now he had become obsessed almost with relaxing and 'loosening up'.

Alright, Blood. ]
Zach nodded and turned back to the table, turning the pad back around and looking at it, palms flat against the table as he leaned on it, coming up with ideas that seemed to flash in images before him. He picked up the marker and bit the cap as he pulled the marker, uncapping the marker. He reached up with his other hand and took the cap out of his mouth, placing it next to the pad. "Would you like any, like, designs on the pommel, hilt, or the blade? I can make it a bit more personal if you would like besides it turning into a bracelet. The bracelet only personalizes it when it's not in use. When the sword is in use, it seems a bit... General, I guess the word is." He placed the marker down as he grabbed the hunk of Gold and placed it in the forge, immune to the heat before turning back towards Cassia. "If you want any designs on it, you can sketch them out on the side or whatever. It's your choice since it's your blade."

"Alright, I'll sketch some things out" Cassia replied with a smile "Thank you so much again"
She walked up to the sketchpad, grabbing the marker. It seemed like sime thing had taken over as she began to sketch, the marker making bold lines that seemed to be simultaneously simple and complex. They formed different shapes, some of animals (an owl appeared on there somewhere) and some of more abstract things. She ended up with a flowing, bold design which incorporated many different features. She marked out where each part of the design would be on the blade. One of the animals she had drawn sat just below the owl. A fox. That seemed to resonate with her. Foxes were known for being cunning but tough and strong at the same time. That was what she wanted to be like. It was perfect.

That's a really good drawing, Blood. Oh, do you want me to put the prophecy up on the front page? ] Elianna said, “ Hold on. Don’t you know a javelin can also be used in hand-to-hand combat, Aquila? Jason Grace’s old weapon was a gold coin that could turn into both a javelin and a sword depending on heads or tails. Try swinging that javelin around on a dummy see how much damage it can do, and if you can still fight with it like that.” 'It can?' He asked, blinking and raising his eyebrows with surprise, tilting his head a little. 'Well... it's certainly worth a try.' He confirmed, retrieving his Javelin and moving over to one of the training dummies. He awkwardly hefted it in his palm, feeling a little uncomfortable; he wasn't really sure what to do with his body, despite his 3 months of training. He warily turned his head to look at her and shrug instead. 'I don't know what to do.' He said honestly. 'I've never seen anyone fight with a javelin before, and the guy himself that could probably teach me isn't here.'

Chloe considered running after him but her pride wouldn't allow her to do that and she stood rigid with her back completely straight whilst her face was impassive. She looked down at her hands as he continued walking away she had messed up majorly. He didn't seem to get that she wasn't serious most of the time but was just teasing him. "I'm sorry properly," she called after him without a trace of laughter in her voice hoping he'd turn.

He glanced over and asked," You want that on the blade, hilt, or pommel? If you want it on the blade, I'm gonna need to inscribe it in the blade while it's hot." He made sure the blade had no cracks, warps, or fractures, and he placed the blade on the anvil and started hammering out the edge of the blade, making sure the edge of it is sharp. He picked it up with tongs and looked at it, examining every inch of it. He barely noticed the heat the forge was emitting or the sweat dripping down and off of his torso.

I have a power that makes it easy for me to adjust to any weapon, so I can try out the javelin and teach you how to do it."

I'm probably too uptight for you, anyway." His eyes glinted with slight anger, and the atmosphere around them darkened and got colder slightly.

"Yeah well I say things without thinking them through," Chloe said without thinking just trying to alleviate the mood which had suddenly gone wrong. "It's not a problem that you take things seriously I don't take anything serious enough." She said desperately the words falling out of her mouth practically as she tried to persuade him but they were all true and she didn't regret any of them.
