Felih seems to sulk a little more when the file gets dropped into his hand, but he sighs and gets to work as instructed, trying his best to be quick about it. "It just feels strange. There's so much detail work in goldsmithing, and then here I'm being told to just go to town with a hammer. It goes against my instincts," he huffs, before suddenly pausing.

"Er. My tools?" he suddenly asks. "These things are pretty sturdy... I didn't think they'd need to be smoothed out so soon." Maintaining his goldsmithing tools was a frequent necessity, with all the tiny tools and bits and pieces, but these giant sledges surely could last a while longer... right? He suddenly doesn't look very sure.

"That's kind of correct, but also kind of not." Irhya's lips twitch, like she's between laughter and a groan of frustration. "If your tools have even the tiniest chip or odd lump in them, it absolutely reflects in your finished product. That, and remember it's okay if your pre-filed work looks imperfect as long as it has the general shape. It took me ages to learn not to try and over-detail everything, because that's my instinct, too."

Her fingers itch. It's tempting to tell him to shove aside and take over for him, but that would defeat the purpose. Instead, hoping to occupy the need to fidget with her hands, she hauls her anvil over next to his and starts to work on it, wiping at the sweat accumulating on her face from the heat with one sleeve.

"I suppose I should ask why you want to learn blacksmithing in the first place, then. There are other crafts that require more detail work than sheer pounding, assuming you don't have a specific purpose for this in particular. Alchemy and weaving are less hard labor and more careful touches, for example."

Felih suddenly goes dark in the cheeks when asked about why he wants to pursue blacksmithing. He begins to file away very hard at his tools, determined to properly prepare them before he tries again with any plating, and mumbles.

"There- well. There's someone I want to be able to make good weapons for," he mumbles. "Strong tools, strong axes. He doesn't use shields, so- so... I want to be sure his weapon never breaks when he fends off assailants," he admits. "All my companions could benefit from strong weapons, but him- he bears the brunt of enemy assaults for us, so I worry."

"I've- y'know. Heard the horror stories, about folk who perished because of a weapon that didn't hold."
