"Yes, a note was left where I have made my den temporarily." Peculiar as that was, he hadn't ignored it and was very glad to have taken the chance. His armor was very important, even if it did require some maintenance. He gave the armor a slight shake, which squeaked and groaned in protest to the motion. "I require blubber, or oil to cure it with." Not that he was entirely certain where he might find something like that in the tree. Otherwise he'd just keep clanking and squeaking until he did.

As for blubber or oil... that could be more difficult. He folded his arms, head bowing in thought. "...Companion has written of using various oils at her spa for massage therapies, but I am not entirely sure if they would be applicable. Nonetheless, it proves that there is a supply for some kind of oil. If need be, you could always wait for the Wilderness to become something with the supplies you need, or ask if anyone has knowledge or skills in armory repair and where they receive their supplies."
He let out a short exhale, a sort of amused 'hmph' after a moment. "Do you know how such oil would be manufactured? I assume blubber would be found upon the hides of thick skinned creatures..."

"I prefer the use of seal blubber, it is plentiful and I can eat what I do not use." Forge doubted that there was anywhere with seals in the tree though. But if there was oil of some kind it may just have to do, even if it wasn't perfect.

As for seals... Seraph paused. "...I do not believe we have any in the sphere that I know of. But with how things change regularly, it is entirely possible that some will appear." He noted, glancing down at the dead ant. After a moment, he spoke again with that nearly-amused tone.
"With the rate this ant is leaking on the floor, as you sure it's oils aren't usable?" He asked, stepping back out of the way of it's steady drip of ant-goo.

Perhaps it would work. It wasn't as good as seal blubber, but it might just do the trick. Even if it did smell horrible. He unhooked his armor deftly with one claw and proceeded to rub some of the oil into the plates, then tested them out against each other. No more screeching!
"It works... I had not thought of that." Well hey, the ants were good for something! "Hm, perhaps I will gather some more of them before they depart." Have a good source of oil. He'd have to see how long it lasted.

"If you go to retrieve more, try not to startle the guards," He noted, glancing to the guards before the elevator. "They are doing their job fairly well, and I'd hate for them to panic at a large bear barreling past. Again." Again, there was the hint of amusement in his voice.
"When you went up, was there any change to them, or are the creatures still swarming the tree the same as they were when you first went?"

Finished, he looked back up to Seraph. "There were fewer, they attacked with more force this time. They must realize there is no food to be found."
