"Dunno. I guess like, a blacksmith or something maybe. I've made weapons before and it's pretty fun."

V glanced at him in surprise "you didn't think to mention that for the resume?"

"I didn't think it would be helpful for getting a human job. From what I can tell, they don't often forge swords."

"no, not for practical use. But people like to collect rare things here. A costomized weapon is one of those things." V explained

"Huh… would an employer not be concerned if I said I make weapons?"

"not if you let them know it's for collecting not for battle usage. You can't make then sharp, I think that's the only limit." V said, typing something into his computer.

Nathaniel rolled his eyes and sighed softly. "Fine… collectors would probably want an actual, sharp, usable sword though, wouldn't they? More authentic."

V shrugged "maybe, for what use other than to harm, possibly." V sighed and shut his computer "I've gotten through 3 of them. Now we have to wait to see if more people up."

"Alright. What should we do in the meantime?" Nathaniel leaned back in his chair casually.

V shrugged "maybe try to find some a way to hide your wings? In case you happen to get a job outside of the house."

"I could just wear hoodies or something. That's what I usually do." Nathaniel pulled a sharp, thin dagger out of his pocket and began fiddling with it.

"even in the middle of summer?" V asked skeptically, eyeing the dagger

Nathaniel shrugged. "It's not too bad. I don't often have to go outside." He twirled the dagger between his fingers.

He nodded "still, there has to be a more convenient way," he glanced at the dagger again "did you make it?"

"The dagger?" Nathaniel looked up. "Oh, yeah… I always carry this around just in case."

"in case someone attacks you again." V finished off with a nod, the thought of someone hurting Nathanirl didn't sit right with him

"Yep. I made this one before I got hurt, actually. It's pretty old." He held the dagger out to V, trusting him enough to know he wouldn't stab him.

He glanced down at the dagger and then back up at Nathaniel. He gingerly took the dagger and held it up, inspecting the make and engravings "it's beautiful. He said, flipping it around and giving it back to Nathaniel by the hilt

"Thanks. It was sort of a hobby of mine to make these when I wasn't in battles." Nathaniel took the dagger back. "I've got a couple of them laying around in various places I visit in the event that I need them while traveling. I've always got this one, though."

He smiled and listened "is it your first one?"

"Not my first, no, but a pretty early one. The first one wasn't nearly as good as this."

V nodded and stood up, needing to move around "it's cool,"

Nathaniel kept fiddling with the knife. "What sort of stuff did you do while you were still in heaven?"

He smiled nostalgically "mostly training new recruited for the army and swordplay."

Nathaniel nodded. "I'd lend out some of the swords I made sometimes so people could help me test them. I got quite good with a sword, but on earth I can only really fight with my hands."

"you can still spar here, it's just not as common. I can take you to a place that allows it if you're feeling up to it." He offered

"Sure. Right now or what? We're still waiting on the firewalls, but I'm not sure how long that will take." Nathaniel stood up and leaned against the table, letting the dagger fall to his side.

He waved his hand dismissively "I've set up a command that'll take anymore down for the next five hours." He said. "We can go if you'd like. Are you sure your injuries don't hurt?"

"Yeah, m'alright. Little fighting would do me some good anyhow. What do we spar with?" Nathaniel stuck his knife back into his pocket.

"they have swords there." V said, actually excited.
