BLOODSUCKER ☆ first blacksmithing attempt

[LUMIA CIPHER.]

The approach of others initially made Lumia tense up, the young Cipher wanting to curl up into herself and disappear. Despite the fact that her work wasn't horrible, she still felt embarrassed, and wasn't sure she wanted others to see. Alas, Vayne was already present, and she... didn't hate it. She didn't laugh, or sneer, or anything else – not that Mia truly expected that from her niece. She merely still wasn't used to such gentle assurances, and soon found her green gaze lighting up. After a moment, she let out a little laugh and nodded, a sigh leaving her, "I suppose you're right... at least I didn't burn anything down while making it." Things could've gone a lot worse on her first try, and although she had taken the necessary safety precautions, she couldn't deny she had felt some anxiety in the back of her mind. She would feel awful if she burned someone's hut down while trying to make a simple pot. Thankfully, that hadn't happened.

The next to approach was Keona, and honestly, her words managed to fill Lumia with happiness. The irony of the other's statement wasn't lost on her, of course. Keona's blindness wasn't exactly a secret around The Typhoon, and it made the dealer's work around the group all the more impressive, at least in Lumia's opinion. Still, even if the wolf couldn't actually see Lu's handwork, the sentiment was still very sweet, and the young Cipher found herself purring before long. She muttered, glancing back down at her pot with a small smile, "Thank you, Keona... I'm sure that I'll be able to make things even more impressive in the future. Like armor for you! Although... I suppose spies don't really need it, unless they're out on the battlefield." Still, it wouldn't hurt to have just in case. Mentally, she added the other onto the list of faces she needed to figure out sizing for. Keona would be even harder than most, considering the wildly different sizes of her two forms.
