With an oath he threw down his hammer, startling Ginna at the bellows.

"'Tis no good! You see all the work now that this troop have joined Scarburg! I fall ever further behind!"

Ginna remained quiet. This had been brewing for some time, for many days. She watched him pace, biting her lip. She was not afraid of him for she knew well how gentle he was to her, but she could not quiet her nerves for she had always disliked it when her father or other men had fallen into a rage. It was hard to unlearn old fears.

He stopped his pacing and looked at her, his eyes still burning with his frustration. "There is enough work here for two blacksmiths!" His eyes went wide, startled by his own words. "There is enough work, and therefore pay, for two blacksmiths!" This time his words held hope.

"What are you thinking?"

"I must send for my brother Garreth!"
