video;

[the warp band video is as grainy and black and white as always. When it comes on, it's pointed toward the kitchen table. Laid out on the table are feathers. Three of them are about three feet long, and another four are between a foot and six inches. Even without color, it's possible to tell that these aren't just any ordinary feathers. These feathers seem to be made of gleaming metal, the individual barbs at the base coalescing into solid steel just a few inches higher.

Then, Eren speaks
]

Hey. I'm finally done molting, so I have a new crop of feathers to sell or trade. Molting sucks. But at least I can make some money off of it. I used two of them to make new swords for myself, and then payment for the blacksmith, and then a few weren't really high enough quality to be used…

uh. Oh! If you don't know, Skarmory feathers make some of the best swords ever. They're light and just flexible enough to not break, and they hold an edge like no one's business. [Eren turns the warp band to himself, and he draws one of his swords. It only vaguely resembles the feathers on the table] You just have to take them to one of the blacksmiths in town and you can get whatever kind of hilt you want on it. The smaller feathers make good knives and stuff.

Anyway, prices are negotiable, but don't expect to get these cheap. They're worth a lot more than you'd think, but I'd figure I'd try and sell them over the warp bands first. I know there's lots of Guards and Rangers and [he makes a small gagging noise] Swords check the warp network a lot. [pause] Even if you don't need a blade, they make good gifts.

Oh wow cool!

[Luke looks genuinely impressed then, a smile bursting onto his face. He really likes stuff like this, even if it's weird that he's getting it from a ...nother person who shed it. Wow, that is weird. Still, he's obviously psyched about it, it's kind of cute when he can 180 from his usual bratty self.]

I'll make it really awesome looking, don't worry.

[Like Eren cares, but Luke figures he'd want something like this to look good when it's done too.]

Gold wouldn't match the silver though, I'll think of something. But I'll definitely get our family crest on it.

Of course not! I'll use it for training, and Swords duty and stuff.

[He digs in his pockets a moment, before pulling out a wad of bills. Ramdas wasn't too happy about giving Luke another portion of his monthly allowance so early, but it was easy enough to bully the poor butler. He counts out 10 bills and hands them over. He knows Eren said $700, but he figures it's worth more than that.]

Here. I'll take good care of it.

I thought it was pretty cheap though.

It's a cool feather sword, $1000 isn't that much at all.

[He doesn't even sound condescending for once.]

No problem.

[He smiles~ wow. Luke must be in a really good mood, but it could also be Eren's Ranger jacket or something. He's super envious of those guys.]

What blacksmith do you go to for these anyway?

Will you show me?

I don't know where anything is downtown, so...

[He takes hold of the feather, careful for once, as he follows him.]

Were you always a shifter? Like, since you were little?

[personal profile] tracedarte 2014-05-19 04:05 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, so it just happened?

[He grins then. This guy is his age, probably, at least it looks like it! There's still hope.]

It didn't hurt or anything did it? What kind did you say you were... Scary-my or something...?

[personal profile] tracedarte 2014-05-20 11:36 pm (UTC)(link)
And you're my age, right? I'm seventeen.

It pinches, huh... well that's not so bad... I don't know, any kind of Enlighted ability would be cool...

[Then he still has a chance... good. He hangs back a little.]

What? Yeah. It's natural! Everyone in my family has red hair.

[personal profile] tracedarte 2014-05-29 04:13 am (UTC)(link)
Well my parent are... but really! Everyone in my family has red hair even if they aren't Enlightened, it's a sign of nobility you know.

.. It is though. For generations. [He kind of looks... quizzical. Like, how can't Eren know??]
