"If it's to be decorative, then I'll fix it up so you can't tell it was broken at all," he assured her as they moved onto the next piece. Ironfire let out a low whistle at the thing, looking over the parchment offered to him, "fire and ice is an interesting combination, that if what you said is true. The lack of magical enchantments is certainly different," he paused, inspecting the designs, "would have to be something strong and resistant to extreme temperature changes, else the constant shift would've made the weapon unbelievably brittle causing it to break very easily," he considered the options available, "since I assume you'd like me to remake this, I'll have to do research. It's shape will be easy, and I'm aware of a few metals and alloys that could withstand the type of wear and tear this would go through. Producing the fire and ice with no enchantment will take a little research," he pointed at the drawings, "especially if that is what appears to be a blue flame as the ice aspect. Only heard rumours about that myself, so this will be an interesting piece to work on," he couldn't quite keep the excitement out of his voice as he spoke. Unusual items and magics like this were some of the highlights of his work, especially compared to what a lot of ponies would call the mundane, everyday stuff he usually works on.

"As of now, it would only remain as a decorative weapon. From what i was told, it is an old ceremonial blade of somekind. It's origin and purpose are unknown to me, however. Do as you best see fit. But the weapons look, in this case is more important, than it's durability."

White considered it as an accepted order, as she moved on to the next item on the unrolled cloth. She picked up a rolled up parchment, untied a small string around it and rolled it open. "This, was found alonside that old blade. I got the text roughly translated." White pushed the parchment towards Iron "This weapon's design fascinates the Royal guard. If we understood this correctly, the blade is supposed to channel both fire and ice. What do you think?" White offered the parchment to Iron. The parchment's original text is written in some weird language. It had later added scribbling on it, some sentenced written here and there, and in the corner was list of materials the blade could potentially be made out of. The list had listed both ice and fire crystals as possible options, along with ice and fire imbued metals. In the middle of the parchment, was a drawn picture of the weapon. There was no mention about enchantments, this indicating that the sword is supposed to get it's power from the materials it's made out of.

"understood" White nodded "As long as your work is as good as i've heard, you will have another satisfied customer." At Iron's question, White grabbed a rope holding the bundle together in her mouth, and pulled the knot open. She gave the bundle a push, this causing it to roll open, while keeping it's contents quite organized. First in the line was two sheathed swords. White picked one of them up, and unsheathed it. "First things first. I need these two sharpened. And preferably re-bind the handles. Like they are now, these parts left bare." White pointed at two, bare spots in the handle, that showed scraping marks on them. The handle was only binded in the middle. White returned the sword in it's sheath, and returned it with it's identical twin on the table.

"Then we have this." The mare picked up quite beaten up blade from the table, that was clearly broken in half, the tip of the blade was nowhere to be seen. The rest of the blade had many notches in it, but the finely crafted decorations were still visible on the hoofguard, and the bottom of the blade "Think you can do anything about this one? It was found recently, and we hoped it would still be restorable."

White Wind took a look around while the two discussed. She didn't pay the conversation any mind, as it didn't concern her. She observed a set of swords on the wall, when Ironfire caught her attention with his greeting. "Good day" White Wind greeted back, taking a quick glance at the other unicorn, who went to check out the wares set on display, before turning back to the blacksmith "Ironfire, i assume." White said, extending her hoof for a quick, formal shake. "White Wind. You were the recommended smith to come to with weapon maintenance, and a little bit more exotic commissions." White took another glance at the other unicorn in the room, before asking "Am i interrupting something? I can wait, if you two were in the middle of something"

"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.
