Date: 2017-09-14 03:59 pm (UTC)[Cloud arrives a few minutes later than he said, but he had to figure out how to get most of the scrap metal up onto his shoulders without it banging into walls and corners. He still had to leave a bunch behind for a second trip.] 'lo? Anybody here?
action;
Date: 2017-09-15 05:20 am (UTC)Cloud! Well met - come in?
[ The fires in the forge are never allowed to go out, but Maglor has let them cool, since they aren't working on anything at the moment, and he is alone in the forge, beckoning Cloud over to a nearby table scattered with paper and various in-progress designs. ]
action;
Date: 2017-09-15 05:57 am (UTC)Cloud ka-tunks the scrap over by the table, staring down at those designs. He doesn't really need something designed, just like...a thing to stabby a face]
action;
Date: 2017-09-15 07:33 am (UTC)Am I? I suppose so, I never really thought of it. You should meet my brother - Maedhros is a full head taller than I.
[ He gestures at the designs ]
I didn't know what you were thinking of. [ He says apologetically ] So I was just playing a bit with things I know. Had you any ideas?
action;
Date: 2017-09-15 06:28 pm (UTC)I really don't care. Uh, heavy, I guess? For both of them. I've got more metal to bring you.

Date: 2017-09-16 05:53 am (UTC)More a broadsword user, then? Hm. How long?

Date: 2017-09-17 08:22 am (UTC)They'd have to be thinner, if they were going to be that long - I am assuming you are including hilts in the calculation. You must be terribly strong!

Date: 2017-09-17 04:10 pm (UTC)But a sword, and not a mace or hammer? With strength like you suggest, you might do a good deal of harm with even a morning star - although tis not easy to carry around.
[ He eyes him consideringly and sketches out a claymore ]
But otherwise... we could look at something like this? And truly, if you wanted to learn - all of us could teach you. Fingon and Maedhros both are some of the best of our warriors, only our uncle, Fingon's father is better.

Date: 2017-09-18 04:15 am (UTC)As it please you. [ He says slowly, making the calculations ]
I think this is enough, but it's Maedhros who does most of the actual forgework. I'll run it past him and let you know, if we need more. Otherwise... mm. Give us a week.

Date: 2017-09-18 06:22 am (UTC)Not for something of this size. We need to be very careful to make sure that there are no impurities in the metal and the actual process, or the blade will be too brittle, and not properly balanced. And, you need two of them. If you want something now you can use one of our standard swords - we have a few lying around, including Maedhros' spare.

Date: 2017-09-19 04:28 am (UTC)[ He shakes his head ]
No - I've heard talk, but I was not so graced, myself. There's no way we can speed up the process, though. Not for something that size. But you could use our spares, if you like - I can bring out Maedhros', to see if it might do?

Date: 2017-09-19 06:26 am (UTC)Whatever you break we can reforge - that is not a problem. But if you want something large, it will have to be Maedhros' spare.
[ he opens a cupboard to reveal several blades ]
My brother is used to fighting with only one hand, although he has a replacement, now. So his blade is straight, unlike mine, which is curved.
[ The one he brings down is clearly sized for someone seven feet or more, a long straight blade, elegant and functional. Cloud will find it exquisitely balanced and probably surprisingly light, especially with his strength ]
He would not object to it being put to good use.

Date: 2017-09-20 04:42 am (UTC)...You're sure. Maybe I should ask the guy myself so I don't look like a mooch or something.
