I see. I did not realize that the Warp Bands had such specific limitations.

I apologize. If we had more time, surely we could find a better solution. I hope that you understand.

[ She bows slightly. ]

I would be more than happy to explain, if you would do me a favor. Much of my techniques are passed down through the Nishimura clan. I can explain most things, but certain forging techniques I cannot. I will do my best to be as thorough as possible. Given the work, it is inevitable that you will pick up some things, of course, but I ask that you keep those secrets secret.

Simply observing a bit of your technique is lesson enough for me. I was born an Earthkin, and metallurgy is in my blood. I have a deep appreciation for the old techniques, however, it helps me to see others at work. I have not seen Union metal-working before. I will admit, the prospect is a bit exciting.

[ She nods a bit. ]

Of course. It is a shame, after putting so much work into them, but I do understand. I will make sure that they are dismantled and discarded after you are done using them.
