((OOC: time jump!!!!))
Hjaldi laughed to himself still in amusement of Cryce burning his tongue and the reaction to such a thing. As he chuckled the wounds tinged as the scabs stretched making a slight discomforting stretching feeling all over. Pausing he looked over to the Lorelei inclining his head. "Thanks be owed then Milady if you do not mind i will start immediately on preparations." Heading out the door Hjaldi looked back and forth then chose a direction to head. Walking down the streets he had just fought he could still see stains from his blood on the ground and what he thought may have been Cryce's blood stains though freezing the wounds made little of his blood spill. Hjaldi quickly set his mind to focus on his needs.
"Right then anvil, hammers, mortar," Hjaldi began to mumble the rest of the things he would need which was a fair sized list going from store to store. At first he did not mind the looks he would get from his size the merchants would stagger and stumble in their speech and would be too intimidated at his size and forget their train of thought. the day was long and hard as the language was a hard one to form in his mouth and Hjaldi knew it would never be easy for him.
Finally the day went on and evening beckoned, returning to the tavern he went around straight to the back seeing pleasantly that his directions to all the merchants were the right ones, aside for the one merchant who sent the anvil to the house on the other side of the street but Hjaldi had acquired it with enough ease that he was not bothered. Hjaldi began to work at the forge taking the bricks and mortar forming it's base pouring sand into the mix and into the center of the forge then burning it to firm it. Next he placed his anvil which was the biggest they had but was still small for Hjaldi... He had actually ordered a custom anvil to be forged that he would get when it was complete.
After all was done several weeks had actually passed, Him and Cryce had done missions and taken bounties and were getting quite the reputation for those who were looking for help. Least so it seemed for Hjaldi he would be getting requests to the point were Hjaldi had to put up his own board at his forge, where the people would come put requests. Hjaldi was pleased with this set up and Lorelei was never too far For Hjaldi's eyes to rest upon. Hjaldi's skill with the forge was also hand in hand getting noticed mostly or the odd blue flames it produced. Secretly it was Hjaldi's own primitive magic but he let people believe it was the forge. "The gods bless my forge as i dedicate all my works to them and battle." Is all Hjaldi would say when a customer or person would ask. Hjaldi was in a festive mood when he forged making the hammer sing and the metal echo the hammers' chorus.
And in the evenings Hjaldi would try and jest Cryce into drinking with him and Lorelei and show Cryce joy can still be found in friends. Always in the same table in the corner by the fire where he had first sat... "This is feeling more and more like a home i could stay in and i'm sure milady would not mind the constant flow of business i bring paying for my food and stay here." Hjaldi said as he sat back drinking a horn of newly brewed mead. "Ah that is more and more like my homes mead Milady you have your ways don't you?" Hjaldi shot a quick smile and a wink to Lorelei.
