Danika hid her own smile by sipping her goblet of wine. The two conversations rejoined one another and the tension seemed to ease a little from the pavilion. At Jensen's announcement, his twin gasped. She had not really known which way her brother would sway with where the couple would choose...

Danika snatched up the rag she had earlier used to clean her hands and then flashed her friend another smile. "Yes, go. Bloody my masterpiece - you know you can only name it when you do so," it was an old superstition her father had held to, and his father before him. A sword could not possess...

"I might have maybe made a few sketches," Danika gave her friend a sly glance over her shoulder before returning to her work. Filing the sword was much harder with just one hand. She had returned it to the clamp to keep the blade still but unlike the other Smiths who would use two hands to...

"Oh, you're going to show it off to everyone," Danika grinned and picked up a rag to clean her hand. She nodded to the blade as she brought the cloth up to wipe a smudge of dirt from her cheek too. "I had five people place orders already just from watching me work that blade. The other Smiths...

"Gross," Danika wrinkled her nose in disgust. Sand wyrms were one of her least favourite monsters Malakath had conjured up. The sightless beings had a taste for the flesh of the Island Walkers; the great graceful creatures the desert folk used to build their cities on. Glancing back down at the...

Nadya would find the smith in the middle of wielding her hammer over a red hot blade that was clamped to the anvil. Sweat rolled down her face which was twisted in concentration. There was a frenzied excitement in her hazel eyes as she worked, as though she were on the cusp of something that...

Danika snickered at Cullen's joke, especially when it turned Jensen a delightful shade of red that matched the shade of their hair. Lightly bumping her shoulder against her brothers she then stepped up to Nadya's side and clasped her hand as they wound their way out of the first inn. "Oh! Yes...

Danika gave the Princess a subtle wink when their eyes locked, a subtle nod to the fact no thanks were needed and she had enjoyed helping her brother carve out this little piece of their engagement for them. "It's hard," she said softly, eyes flickering back to the young woman she was seated...

The smithy shot her friend a dark look, though the effect was ruined by the smile she was fighting that dimpled her cheeks. "I'll fix that thing by throwing it in the furnace and melting it back down into something useful - like a fork," she sniffed and then turned back to her workbench to get...

Danika nodded as she reverently pinned the piece of parchment to her corkboard where all her current work in progresses sat. "I've never made a blade from the scales before. I know Abroxes can melt them, but I have no idea how it'll turn out. It could be brittle and useless for all I know. So...

"Have you not been caring for the set I made you?" her brow arched in her friends direction with a disapproving scowl. She took pride in her creations and demanded those who wore them did so likewise. With a click of her tongue she unrolled a piece of parchment she had been holding. "No, Nads. A...

Danika's eyes slowly raked over the Storm Dragon and then flicked up to Nadya. A shit-eating grin was her only response before she clicked her tongue and Sylvraxis picked up the speed. It was meant to be a race after all. Despite her speed there was a reluctance to the way the tsonye flew. She...

"You should know you get what you pay for, Nads," she threw her friend a smirk. Still early on in her career as a smith, Danika was nowhere near as expensive as some of the greats. However, over the past few years her name had gained enough traction that her books were filled with commissions...

Danika and Jensen both echoed the words the others toasted as their mugs clashed against one another sloshing ale over their hands. The twins shared a grin before drinking up. As the first to finish, Dani slammed her mug down and then pushed up from her chair. "Are we turning this into a pub...

"Clearly she brings out his better side," Danika teased, also noting how the usually cold dragon had taken a shine to Sylvraxis despite her playful nature and younger age. Maybe it was the scars that lined her side that could be seen when the sun caught her scales just so that made the larger...
