The coal is burning hot, but the people around here are even more irritating. Spent all morning hammering out a curved blade, only for some pampered noble to walk in and ask if I could make something "lighter and more elegant."
Listen, kid. If you want a toothpick, go to a jeweler. If you want something that actually bites, you come to me. And don't you dare call my work "crude" unless you're prepared to see how crude a hammer to the skull can be. 🔨🔥
