You know where to find me if you want a bite. Of any kind.
[The patella bones were rounded and smoothed out and set to the side. Before they would be added, she took a rib bone and drew it out long and thin before wrapping it like cording about the hilts.]
You are one of the very few that can throw me over your shoulder in public without retribution.
Can't I just want to make you swords? [Okay, that wasn't even remotely believable, and Ianthe knew it.]
Alright, alright... [She laughed a little, wrapping the other hilt.] I have a research project coming up once the snow falls that I'd like to bring you in on. These swords are an essential element to that; a knight must be properly armed. Do you know what a yeti is?
[A research project involving large beasts? Her ears flicked with some interest, and the smile stayed plastered to her face as she glanced back down toward the swords.]
[The pommels were shaped to smooth curves and added to the sword. For the moment, both were done in their most basic, unadorned forms. Ianthe needed to check their balance before proceeding with edging, ornamentation, and style.]
They aren't done yet, but handle them and let me know where you want them weighted at and any adjustments to the grip. [She stepped back to let Seviilia at them. The most notable thing would be how light they were compared to steel.]
I intend on putting together a small troupe to hunt down a couple yeti. They are solitary hunters, about fifteen feet tall, with an unnatural cold in their claws. I want to kill one and dissect it. Specifically, I want to examine its brain and neural network. And then, once I understand it, I want to capture a live one and mold its memories, turn it docile and loyal, so I can strip it of its flesh and make a sentient skeletal servant.
I've faced these yeti before. I can't do this on my own.

[Even if she wasn't entirely pondering the idea, it was difficult not to be charmed by her following admission. She was not at all beneath flattery.]
So, are you going to tell me what prompted this sudden bout of generosity, or must I stand here wilting in ignorance?

I do...what is it that you intend?
