"Why is it that after all the food you ate last night you can still eat so many eggs?" The innocent look Midnight gave Gil caused the entire table to laugh. The entire family had co down for the breakfast Walker had started cooking. It was crowded and full which was much more than they had experienced in so ti.
"Just leave her to eat, Midnight could probably eat all the eggs in the mansion and the kingdom if we let her." At Rey's expression, Midnight looked up with longing causing everyone to burst in to laughter again.
"I do have to agree. She has been eating more. I wouldn't doubt that she is going to grow more. I know we have a mansion but we might be outgrowing it already." The table was just so full and Walker was sure that it would keep expanding over ti.
"Why not find soone with magic that can just teleport the mansion to the Genesis city location and claim a massive plot of land? At this point it is probably better since Rey will be at her new guild, Su has said she would help the cathedral start up, Gil has to be the advocate for the elves or sothing since he has connections, us Tars' will be there, and I don't even know what else at this rate." Elise was joking more than anything but the entire party was just looking at Walker..
"Stop looking at . So huge spatial teleportation magic would definitely be a mastery skill of so sort and we all know I can't do that." He was almost feeling bad as he shut everyone down. But it was true, teleporting everything like that would have to be a huge mastery spell.
"They are offering us guards positions to go there as wall guards. I culd even settle in to a new office and just watch over my own gate. A gate captain would be a nice relaxing position." Walkers' father was daydreaming out loud but it had sparked sothing that Lisa had been wanting to say.
"I want my own shop with my own dedicated work space and show room. The mansion is great but this is ho. They should be separate. I have the money to rent one ow but after I learn more from the castle tailor and seamstress I should have the money to build a shop." Lisa had dreams of wide show rooms and fully stocked work rooms to practice in. Not to ntion a few employees to help with the reproductions of her designs.
"That would be nice. I could use a new bakery. If I had one attached we could help each other out. I bring in pastries for your clients and they co to my shop to sit with tea made by Rey to snack and show off what they bought." There was a devilish grin on his mothers' face and Walker was a little worried that she had secretly beco a business woman.
The wandering blacksmith was at the far end of the table and normally would stay silent. He was waiting for the al to end so he could speak to Walker and show designs. He had many ideas but also had one he wanted to show imdiately.
However, he had always been a wandering blacksmith. He never had sowhere to call ho in many many years. "I wouldn't mind having a shop there too." The unfamiliar voice seed to cut through the other conversations and everyone looked at him.
"Ha! Finally, he speaks. I was beginning to think you were a mute and I was going to try and find the ingredients for a song bird potion." The old master alchemist was very glad to hear the blacksmiths' voice since the two had crossed paths many tis now. Unknown to Walker and the party, The old master alchemist had been giving up potions to the wandering blacksmith in return for making unique tools to further experint with new potions. Rey hadn't even noticed the new tools yet.
"What's a song bird potion?" Walker was not the only one who was wanting to ask but he was the first to ask.
"It's very rare and made from the blood of a few different monster birds known for mimicking other sounds and voices to catch their prey. Normally that would be inedible but with the right skill and the correct herbs, it can be refined in to a potion that can free the voice and even recover it. There are monsters that can steal a voice or injuries that can take it away. With the potion, those are nothing. The voice would be recovered."
There was a little murmuring around the table about how great the potion sounded and why it made sense that it was rare. The large family continued to share small details for almost two hours. They enjoyed their after festival day of calm and used it to catch up.
When they had finished there was a lot of explaining of what everyone wanted to do and where they would go for the day. Most had their own plans to prepare frot eh next days and such. Nothing too major but enough to keep everyone busy. The master alchemist had pulled Rey away so that she could start to form so rules and regulations for the alchemy guild.
Gil went to his arrows and to look for Zephyr. Su headed out with Midnight ti train. She said that she had wanted to get closer to the dragon aspect of her draconic guardian system. Onyx surprisingly went with Lisa, the two seed to have plans for clothing to be made for everyone when the winter finally ca to them again.
"Look." The wandering blacksmith spread out over twenty different scrolls of blue prints on the table. Each was a different weapon and all of them looked to be extrely detailed.
