"Both guards, huh? I might have seen them at some point, since I get a few through here," his next thought was interrupted at the sound of his door's bell, indicating another customer, "very well," he nodded at Foxtrot's statement, allowing him to greet the new arrival.

"And good day to you," he said in greeting, looking at the wrapped up package on his counter, "so what brings you here?"

"My folks? Heh, both guards through and through. Pop introduced me to the contracting occupation, mom introduced me to the katana." He sighs, "Ah stars rest their souls." Before he continues he notices the new arrival and steps to the side. "Ironfire, I'm gonna browse the armors for a bit." The unicorn nods to the new arrival before trotting to examine the wares.

The bell above the door rings, as an armored white pegasus pushes the door open and enters the forge. She's carrying something on her back, wrapped in a cloth to keep everything together. It was obvious from few pointy objects poking out from under the cloth, that she was at least carrying weapons with her. She placed the package on the counter, and waited, as the blacksmith she came to meet seemed to have another customer at the moment.

"My father was a blacksmith, but my mother was a jeweller. Obviously, I took up blacksmithing like my father, but my mother's jeweller skills come in useful for fine design and detail," he explained, "but not only are they both retired now, they also don't live in Canterlot any more. This forge was originally my fathers until they moved," he paused after his explanation before looking towards Foxtrot, "what about your parents?"

Foxtrot chuckles and nods at the blacksmith's answer. "Yea, usually the best things are the simplest. I recall when I made my mom proud. It was when I beat her in a duel by cheating. She knew I cheated but she was alright with that. Said that life isn't fair, so when you have to, use every advantage you got or that you yourself can make." The unicorn shrugs, "Not the most noble lesson I learned, but effective. Sure as hay saved my hide several times. So you said smithing was in your family, are both of your parents blacksmiths? Do they have forges open around here like yours?"

*UPDATE*
So, apparently, April is the month for the FIENDship is Magic series. This time we've got the Sirens, better known as the Dazzlings from Rainbow Rocks.

Ironfire paused at that question, seemingly lost in thought for a moment, "Best, huh?" he hummed, "couldn't really say there's a best," he answered slowly, steadily, "best would likely be more in the eyes of the one receiving it," he continued, "however, I can say what I'm most proud of forging, which I believe would satisfy your question," he had a small, almost wistful smile, "it was many years ago now, I was just a small colt then, learning the craft. It was just a small thing, an iron broach, but it was a gift for my mother, and the first thing I made by myself without any supervision or aid," he let out a long breath, "she still keeps it on top of her jewellery box,"

"Yea, that would seem more of a hassle for anything larger than that." The unicorn replies with a nod. "So with all this knowledge you have I'm sure you've made some interesting things. What was the best thing you've ever forged so far?"

"The simplest way of thinking of it is that the metal is folded repeatedly to even out the carbon content and to increase it's own toughness," Ironfire answered, "it's not a bad method to get the most out of the material, but it can get highly impractical with anything much larger than a blade,"
