Weapon Repairs and Forging Lessons (Bond)

### Bond Story

It was a rare day, Crimson was out and about on it's own, without restriction. It did not have anything important to do, so it did what it always did on days like these. It strolled down, just before the exit of the Central, it went into the smithy. It loved to look and see all the new, shiny, handmade weapons that they produced there.

Barely anyone was there, the last customer in the shop had just left, and all there was had been the blacksmith working away in the back. Crimson grazed it's fingers along the weapon's handles, whispering to them as if one would awaken out of nowhere and respond.

The sound of clanking metals had stopped in the backroom, right before Avocado Cookie had come out, she laughed as she approached the curse,

"Haha! Sorry I didn't see you there sir, I would've came out and greeted ya sooner!" Avocado Cookie's voice rang around the entire shop. Crimson couldn't help but laugh as well, Avocado Cookie's laugh was contagious.

"What're ya lookin for today? Axe? Mace? Bow? I do all except magic stuffs!" Avocado Cookie's voice rang out and about again.

"I am just løøking, but thank yøu!" Crimson spoke quickly and softly, it'd been admiring Avocado Cookie's work from afar for a long time now. It didn't have the words to speak to her just yet. It didn't realize that it'd been fiddling with the physical sword.

"Ah, that thing's all scratched and tattered! Come around back, I'll fix that dull thing up for ya!" Before Crimson could respond, Avocado Cookie had already taken the sword and started to head to the back.

"H-Hey! I'm nøt dull!!" Crimson wasn't sure if she had heard it, it had chased her to the back. Avocado Cookie had already started to repair the sword, and instantly, Crimson no longer felt the need to take it back. It stood there, mesmerized by the work being done to it. It's never seen weapon repairs in person before, much less it's own. It was relaxing to it, and at one point, it had dozed asleep standing up. Avocado Cookie was talking the entire process, was she trying to teach it? Aside from a few horrid puns, not much was heard from the curse.

It was only a loud series of rattles and clanks that had awoken it. A cookie dressed in all blue and yellow was out in the shop, stealing! Avocado Cookie stood there with her arms crossed, chuckling.

"Ma'am, they're getting away! Would you like me to go get the stolen items?!" It couldn't believe she was just standing there! Doing nothing!

"You're a *sharp* one, aren't ya? Hold on there. 3.." Crimson had no idea why she was counting down.

"2.." Crimson squatted to the floor, arms over it's head, unaware of what will happen.

"1.." A loud pop went off from outside the shop, followed by an annoyed yell, the sound of falling metal, and then laughter that faded, getting further away. Avocado Cookie laughed as well, "Paint bombs, works every time! Hey you, help me grab all those materials, huh? I'll make your repairs free." Again, before response, Avocado Cookie had dragged Crimson out and before it knew it, it was almost dark, and it'd been helping Avocado Cookie with work around the smithy the entire day!
