She couldn’t believe it. Rin honestly couldn’t believe it. She had broken the sai that Ron had given her. Her bottom lip quivered as she felt a tear come to her eye. It was all her fault! If she hadn’t wanted to sharpen it with a rock, this never would have happened. She stopped in the middle or the sidewalk. She knew Ron would be mad and want to put her in a mini skirt as punishment, and then Rin would kick him in the face. She shook her head. ‘Iie! I don’t let that happen.’ She thought before glancing around. There had to be a weapons shop somewhere. Of all the things the Central city had, it had better have a weapon’s shop. She began to walk again, her anxiety getting worse and worse as none came into view.
“Ron’s gonna kill meeee~” She whined as she stopped. Ron could be really evil at times, and most of them came from someone breaking a gift he gave them. This made her jump. She imagined his face and nearly broke into a run. ‘Scary face. Scary face. Scary face!’ She chanted in her head before she began to look around again, this time turning her head all the way from side to side instead of just glancing. She only had one eye so if she had missed the weapon’s shop it was her own…She stopped as a huge sign caught her eye. She turned fully t it. It was a two story building and had WEAPONS in big letters, even she couldn’t miss it. She walked in, glancing from side to side as she closed the door. “Hello?” She called. “I’m sorry to bother you, but could you fix something for me?” She called out, not seeing anyone out of her only eye.

"What a slow day." Kotaro said finishing the finish on a new axe. Absolutely no customers, no orders, even Nesmine and the kids couldn't heighten up the day. It was a slow, slow day, and Kotaro was mentally kicking himself for accidently breaking a new sword he had made. There was just not enough room for everything. He really needed a bigger place. Especially since Lira had recently moved in to hide from the military. Kotaro was about to just close the shop when he heard someone come in and ask for something to be fixed.
Almost instantly he was behind the counter, his eyes studying the customer. An old habit he couldn't get rid of no matter how hard he tried. "Yes, how can I help you? Welcome to my store." He greeted with a bow. "You need something fixed? I'd be glad to do so. May I see the object that needs repaired?" He said friendly.

Upon hearing a voice, Rin jumped and looked at the owner of the store. She walked over to him, having to tilt her neck up a little. “Thanks for letting me bother you.” She offered him a closed eyed smile. When he asked to see the object that needed to be repaired, she nodded. She reached into her fanny pack and pulled out a scarf. She gently placed it down on the counter and un wrapped it. The sai was broken plain in two and was chipped. She sighed. ‘I’m kinda glad I didn’t show it to Ron…scary face!’ she jumped as she thought of the face again.
Picking the sai up gently, she cradled it in both her hands and presented it to the shop’s owner. “This is the weapon. I’m afraid I broke it trying to sharpen it.” She said. Her eyes dulled a little. “If you can fix with without modifying it too much, it would be greatly appreciated.” She said as she waited for him to take it. She was a little skeptical about letting him touch it in fear he might take it and never give it back, but he ran this business. She was also sure that if that was the case, someone would have said something about it already. She shook the thought away. She knew better than to start doing that. She was just worried about the sai, that was all.

Kotaro nodded and watched as she unwrapped the sai and handed him the pieces. It was neatly in two besides a small chip. But that could easily be fixed. "This is an easy fix. Don't worry it will look just as it had before." He said reaching for some chunks of the same metal the sai was fashioned of. He placed the sai pieces together as well as the metal chunks. He then placed a hand over the pieces and the transmutation circle on his hand started to glow as he transmuted the sai to its original shape. After finished, he carefully handed her the sai. "How is that?"

Rin blinked in surprise as the man began to transmuate her sai. ‘Wow, guess more and more people are becoming alchemists.’ She thought as he handed her the sai. She turned it over a few times before flipping it in her hand. “Thank you very much.” She smiled wide before placing the sai in its proper place. She breathed a sigh of relief when she realized that Ron probably wouldn’t notice. “How much do I owe you Mr….?” She said, unsure how to address the man. Her left eyebrow twitched as her eye socket began to itch. She reached her hand to her eye patch and gave the cloth a gentle scratch. “ I’m Rin, Rin Amore that is.” She said. |

"A pleasure to meet you Ms. Amore. "My name is Kotaro, Kotaro Kuya." He said giving her a smile. "And no charge. A repair this simple is free of charge." This was his policy. If the repair was small, it was free. He also felt curious about the girl. She only had one eye, the other covered by a patch. He was tempted to ask of it, but realised that would be excessively rude. "Care to tell me what you used to sharpen the blade? I might be able to give you a sharpening kit."

Nesmine stumbled down the stairs in an apron and a crown, a prominent frown spread across her face. 'Now this... this is b#*l s#$t!' She thought as she plucked the crown off her head and set it down on the table. Yubie had been rather bored that morning and wouldn't leave Nesmine alone until she had played 'pretend' with her and Luke. Nesmine was confident that she would never make that mistake again as she finally untied the knotted strings of the play apron and tore it off her person, tossing it in the seat closest to her. 'Thank goodness that's over!'
"Oh hey, a customer? I didn't even hear anyone come in! How's this one Kotaro? She nice so far?" Nesmine asked, now with a large grin as she inspected Rin up and down. "Where do you come from? What's up with the patch? You do something incredible? Something dumb? I'll stop asking questions now, sorry." She said, eager to meet such an interesting looking character. "Do you know your weapons well? Can you fight? I've been rather bored lately..." She mumbled, looking at the sai on the counter.

“Oh are you sure Mr. Kuya? I’ll pay her for your trouble in anyway.” She said with a quick bow. At his question she fidgeted a little. “Well, uhh, you see….I was trying to sharpen it with a rock…I guess I either used the wrong rock, put too much pressure on it…or both.” She said as she scratched the back of her head in embarrassment. When she heard someone else come in, she jumped five feet in the air. She really hadn’t expected some one else in there. “A-ah, I believe I have been nice.” She smiled nervously at the female.
At her question’s, Rin’s head spun a little. ‘Soo many questions in one breath!’ she thought before she smiled. “ I come form the military base that is located here. I’m a second lieutenant.” She smiled wider, “As for my eye patch, I did indeed do something bad…” Her eye dulled again, “Something terrible that I can’t take back, no matter how much I wish I could.” Her hand reached up to her chest. “And it’s fine. You’ll never know if you never ask. They worse thing I could have done was say no.” At the female’s next question her eye brightened up again. “ I know my sai fairly well,” ‘My auto mail even better.’ “And yes I can fight with it hee hee. Why would you be bored? There are so many things you can do!”

"I'm sure. Now here, take this free of charge." He set placing a small bag on the counter. "This repair kit will fare far better then a stone." He smiled. "She has been very kind Nesmine. He raised an eyebrow. "The military you say?" He asked, glad Lira was upstairs. "That's quite the job." He looked at Nesmine. "Nesmine, I hope your not planning on getting into a rumble. I just fixed the counter after Yubie's alchemy accident."

"Relax Kotaro, I wouldn't fight in the store after all that work." Nesmine said through a laugh. "Besides, it'd be a friendly duel, and I like testing how well friendly people's armor does against my mace." She added, fidgeting with her favorite weapon. "Hell, bored?! That hardly begins to sum it up! I've had to play pretend with Yubie all day, and I'm sick of it! I'm tired of being dressed up and poked about like a doll. She's a good kid, but I wish she slept more... heh sorry about the rant. So what'dya say? Maybe a nice friendly duel outside of town? My mace against your automail arm? From the looks of it, you're educated in alchemy too, so this shouldn't disappoint me!"
Nesmine again began to inspect Rin's arm, interested by it's well crafted appearance. "Looks like someone good does your arm, I hope it can take a good beating! Oh yeah, the name's Nesmine. You can call me Nessie, but not princess! Never princess... I've begun to hate that name." She exclaimed, twitching with anger. "So what's your name, patch eye?"

Rin bowed as she took the repair kit. “ Are you absolutely sure you don’t want anything in exchange? I feel kind of bad not returning the favor.” She said before listening to the two of them go back and forth. ‘ She knows alchemy as well?’ She thought before puffing her chest out a little. “ I assure you, my armor is stronger than you would think.” She smiled wider.when the other mentioned a mace. She’s always wanted to fight against those. In hearing her thither speak about her automail, she smiled. “ Sure, let’s go. I’m always willing to entertain someone.
”She held her hand out for easier inspection. “ It can. Ron made it as durable as it could get.” She smiled at the other. “Ms. Nesmine? That’s such a beautiful name. I wish I had one.” She grinned. Noticing the slight twitch she jumped back a little. “ I-I am Rin Amore. Nice to meet you.” She gave a bow of her head. When she came up she smiled at the two of them.

"No, really, its fine." Kotaro said. "Your sharpening mistake made me realise your skilled but need help maintaining your weapons." He raised a finger. "One, your not sure which stones are used to sharpen weapons." He raised another finger. "Two, you apparently are unsure about how a sai needs to be sharpened. I can tell because of the chip in it." He smiled then raised a third finger. "Three is simple, you came in here scared about something."

Nesmine sat down on the floor, legs sprawled out, and watched the two converse. After a while she bounced about the store happily, as she anticipated the new duel between this potential friend. "Awesome!! I can't wait! What time? Where should we meet? Heheh, sorry just excited. It's been a while since my combat skills have been put to good use. Rin Amore? That's a pretty name! Mine has a rather odd ring to it, don'cha think?" She asked, hopping back and sitting on the nearby table as she waited for a response, landing with cat-like reflexes.
"Thanks for the entertainment! Maybe I'll be able to show you a trick or two as well! You see, I'm the best at what I can do, nobody beats me!" She confidently grinned, hoping that her opponent was as skilled as she so that she might spend a good while fighting. 'Now this is gonna be fun! Maybe then I'll have something decent to show off, so that Yubie will just listen, instead of playing dumb games...'
