In the middle of the page, squished between some calculations, is written: ]

We'll be okay! I'm sure we'll be able to find jobs after this storm blows over.

[andcountry]

I think we will. Have you thought of what you'd like to do?

[forgotmyforge]

I'm still looking, but [ Nope, scratching that out. ]

Swords. I really feel like I know something about swords. Nova said I could look at hers and find out.

[andcountry]

Swords? Like how to use them?

[forgotmyforge]

Maybe. That doesn't feel like the important part, though. [ A pause, and then she goes back and underlines "important." ]

[andcountry]

How to make them, then?

[ pause ]

[ Not like she seems to. Not at all. ]

[forgotmyforge]

Maybe. My dream had a lot of fire in it. Comfortable fire.

[andcountry]

That could mean a lot of things, but in this case it does seem somewhat likely that you are a smith.

[forgotmyforge]

I'm going to find out as soon as I can! And you'll find out what you're good at, too!

[andcountry]

Assuming I'm good at anything in particular.

[ I mean, he's just a bb, right? ]

[forgotmyforge]

I'm sure you have some talent in something.
