Carving [Open]

Characters: Nesir Aeser and you
Setting: Workshop floor
Format: I'll follow you
Summary: Nesir recovers from December and spends some time in the workshop
Warnings: none so far

Nesir went to the workshop for quite a practical reason, since recieving her poison kit as some kind of twisted reward she had a job to do. The cloak she had been given by Chidori, which she had to admit had probably saved her in the coldest days of December, needed modified, nothing big just a few hidden pockets like what she had in the sleeves of her uniform. It only took about an hour and then her cloak was back on, because even though the heating was back on it was still Winter and Nesir liked being warm.

She was about to leave when she was drawn to the wood and the tools, not the strange looking tools that worked on their own, just the basic tools that Ral had taught her to use. It had been a long time since she had carved, since before she lost her fingers at least but she had nothing better to do and it had always been something that helped calm her.

And in this place she needed all the calm she could get. She sat back down after gathering what she needed and started work on the lump of wood.

Anyone who knew Nesir well would not be blamed for assuming she was making something practical, a weapon of some kind. But as it started to take shape it looked more like a flower, rough work, it was hard when her dominant hand was damaged and she had never been good at carving in the first place despite Ral's teaching.

She was lost in work and for a moment, if you really didn't know her, she looked almost innocent.

"A hair piece, huh?" Gilbert smiled and shifted his weight a bit. "Taking a little time to make something for yourself? That's nice to see."

"Oh? Then who's it for? A friend?" Well, duh, who else could it be for?

"That's nice to hear." Gilbert's gaze shifted to the various machines. "I ought to try making something some day... it's been a long time since I made something that wasn't just made out of paper or something."

That's not very nice, Nesir!

"Yeah! I used to have some crafting skills. I even once made my own sword, but that was a loooooong time ago. Most of the time I was just working with wood, though. Little things like that." And boy were those crafting skills rusty. He wasn't even sure what he'd make.

Pfff, it's okay, he needs a little sense smacked into him anyway. X'D

"It was a loooooooong time ago, though. Like when I was a kid long ago. Which means several centuries ago." One day everyone just started making his swords for him and that was that. Dammit, if only he knew that blacksmithing was going to be useful for him again!

"That's right! I was a little kid, representing an order of knights called the Teutonic Order. Of course, that probably doesn't mean anything to you, but... in my world's history, that was a very long time ago." Gilbert paused as a realization came to him. "I don't think I ever told you what I really am, did I?"

"Alright, here goes. Tell me if any of this is hard to follow." Gilbert cleared his throat for dramatic effect. "I am something called a nation. We're people that represent countries, to put it simply. If something big happens in our country, we feel it. If there's a war going on, most of us are expected to fight in it. We have strong ties to our people and our land, so we're more than just representatives, you could say."
