(smirks, turning to look down at Andersen)

Any swordsmith can put in hard work. But my swords proved themselves. Proved themselves in countless duels and countless battles. Defeated lesser swords and lesser armors forged by lesser smiths.

But I earned the right to call my peers "lesser smiths." Because my blades fought theirs, and my blades won. Without that, I wouldn't even have the right. No matter the work I put into my swords, if a Muramasa could not prove itself, then anyone could have the right to call it a third-rate sword.

(looks down at the molten metal on her anvil)

If I proved myself with talk and no action, I wouldn't have the right to dismiss anyone as being less than my peer.

You humans have so much spirit. It's a mystery why other Andalites look down upon you...

-An eagle flies up to a window, looking into one of the rooms-

-The one with a coffin in it-

-The eagle becomes a pale woman with pointy ears, yellow eyes and bad fashion sense-

-She climbs on inside-

Woods

Sam sighed and opened her eyes, peering through the darkness at the thin branch roof she'd constructed above her sleeping spot. It wasn't much, but she was glad she still remembered things like this from survival training. It didn't need to be anything fancy, just a place to go if she needed it. A place to sleep that was out of the direct effects of the elements..

Of course, that was only if she could sleep, and that didn't seem to be happening anytime soon. She pushed herself to her feet, walking out from under her makeshift roof. Her sleeping clothes shimmered, suddenly replaced by casual athletic gear, and she stretched her back out before heading off to take a walk around the nearby area.

-The room itself is....just as badly dressed, so to speak-

-Disorganized, disoriented, off-kilter-

-a veritable space of potential artistic energy just waiting-

-Some of the tools are familiar; pencils and pens, a well-loved sketchbook that should be familiar-

-And though the bed itself is absent, there are still signs of activity. There sits now a canvas, splattered with paint, and meticulous detail in equal parts, a fusion of both the nuanced microeffort, and macro-action-

-The paint on the canvas is dry, yet it looks incomplete-

-Jack was stood in a forest clearing nearby-

-looking around for a moment or two-

-he held a garden gnome beneath one arm and glanced at a tree stump-

-walking over, he placed the gnome upon the stump-

Maybe that'll help... If I stay in hiding, they might pass over.

-it was quiet, and he felt a little awkward, being one man with a garden gnome that looked like Santa Claus in the middle of the forest-

-feeling alone, but he knew there was a chance of that changing, so his guard wasn't totally down-

-If it would mean anything to her, the words "Pollockian" and "Haringesque" might come to mind, levels of paint obviously thrown onto the canvas in manic energy, and detail painted on with fine attention below and around-

-Well, "originality" was never a word used by the creator of that particular piece-

-But they hadn't been painting before, had they? It was impossible to recall a time they had-

There did soon come sounds of someone nearby, someone who didn't seem to care much about concealing their presence in the darkened woods. Snapping twigs and rustling leaves heralded footfalls that seemed to be moving vaguely in Jack's direction, but they lacked any sense of purpose or hurry to them.

-Jovek is taking his time climbing up the staircase to the main room-

-Alright, you got this. Just take this one hoof at a time...-

-The alien contemplates on how primitive this style of construction is-

Humans should have stuck with elevators... More convenient...

-measuring the sound of the footsteps, Jack turned to face the direction-

Ho, is there someone out there?

-he called in a posh Londoner's accent-

-though his outfit by now was anything but high-class-

-rather like the gentleman was thrown out onto the street, and has been dragged through hell several times-

-no re-sell value on his once formal attire-

"Yeah, someone's out here," Sam called back, stopping walking and squinting to try and get any glimpse of who it was who was calling to her. Failing that, she began walking towards the source of the voice, "Who's there?"

No-one who'll harm you, that's for sure.

Though I don't know who you are either.

-he kept his position, standing close to the tree stump where he had stood the garden gnome-

"Just an average OWW FUCK," She yelled as she tripped over a root, falling on her hands. She stood up and dusted herself off a bit, finally making her way into the clearing, "An average person who apparently doesn't look where she's going when she's talking."

... I should really check on the ship. Who knows what beasts out there could mangle the engine, or destroy the plantation...

-The Andalite begins his trek outside, his eye stalks keeping an eye on his blindspots as he heads towards the forest edge-

-Keep calm Jovek, if that beast finds you, you can outrun him.-

-he smiled slightly, clearly slightly amused-

Happens to the best of us, sometimes.

We all make mistakes.

Though I haven't tripped up in... probably years, by now.

I'm very lucky, though.

"Very lucky or very good with your balance," she commented, looking for a good spot to sit down and eventually settling on the ground about ten feet from this new person, "Well now that I've made an ass of myself, I'm Sam. Or Samantha, if you prefer, most people like the shorter version though."

-he decided to sit down as well, but also chose not to step closer-

There's a third option, but you'd never guess it.

-shrugs slightly, keeping the Santa garden gnome close-

Pleasure to meet you though, Sam.

My name's Jack.

-The alien's ears twitch as he picks up voices ahead. More people trying to investigate his ship? His tail raised to fight, Jovek peers through the bushes-

"I'm sure it'd take me far too long to, everyone here has some little trick I've never seen before," she shrugged somewhat, "the gnome anything special? Is it a sentient thing or sommat? "

"-on, I mean, not everything out there is dangerous! We're out there all the time just wai-"

Eires came up the stairs and turned away from Solace to look down the hall and stopped dead in their tracks, positively stunned.

Solace, not quite paying enough attention, bumped into them, recovered, and stared.

-sighs deeply-

-though he hasn't noticed the presence of the onlooker just yet-

... Well, the gnome's really the bane of my existence, currently.

That's the only thing that's special about it... otherwise it's ordinary. Nothing magical.

Just an affirmation that anything really is possible.

"That... alright, I'll just take that at, hmm?" something derailed her mid-sentence, before she shrugged and kept talking, "I'm honestly not sure what you mean by that, but eh."

-On the far end of the hallway from Eires are a pair of wide, glowing gold eyes-

-The darkness and shadows of the hall flood around her, imbuing her with their evil energies, then she propels herself as a mass of blackness, right into Eires-

-And snogs them against the wall-
