Leo bit his lip,"please I don't need another witch hunt after me I dont know why I am the way I am just don't hurt me!" he begged and fell to his knees
-
"What on Earth are you talking about, boy? All I want you to do is explain yourself."
-
Leo sighed and stood up realizing that he just gave himself away,"i really don't wanna talk about it." he said a the memories flooded back to him the ones with his mother calling him cursed by the devil. A tear made its way down his heel but Leo quickly wiped it away before Erin could see or so he hoped
-
"Lad, you act strong and tough, but... I saw that tear. If you really don't want to talk about it, i understand. But boy... You need some better clothes. Just look at you." He sneered as he saw the wet overalls.
(commentary- first rule of being a blacksmith is that you can as loud and obnoxious as you please :-*) -
Leo shook his head,"no I'm fine." he said and looked at the ground then back up at Erin
-
"Aye, Lad! I'm offering you better clothing and you reject it like a day old haggis! Why is that?"
-
Leo shook his head,"cause after all what I'm able to do I feel like I shouldn't need help." he replied
-
"Aye, your pride will be your downfall someday, lad. here." he gave him a new outfit. "The taylor made it for me when i was a wee apprentice like you. Take it with pride."
-
Leo took the clothes and nodded in thanks he went into a covered area and got changed he wore cargo pants a white long sleeve t-shirt with a collar his brown boots and red suspenders
-
He smiled. "looks like they fit perfectly."
-
Leo smiled,"they do... And why are you being so well nice to me anyways?"he asked
-
"I see you as a hard worker. An amazing lad with the potential to do good. I want you to join me to be an apprentice in blacksmithing. I'll pay you more and take better care of you, me wee lad." He patted him on the back.
-
Leo thought about the offer,"honestly yeah I'd like that uh thank you." he said happily
-
"Thank you. But first things first, lad. I'd like to know your name."
-
"my names Leo... Leo Valdez."he replied
-
"Nice to meet you lad. You might've heard of me. I'm Erin Stowager, Skilled blacksmith and careful horseshoer."
He smiled. -
Leo smiled,"so how long have you been well working on this stuff." he asked and let a few sparks fly into the fire UNnoticeably
-
Since i was a wee lad... say six years old?" He sees him hold the coals into his raw hands. No reaction. No flinch, no yell= nothing. "Lad?"
-
Leo sighed,"do you really wanna know how I'm cursed."he asked and threw the coal back into the fire
