Leaving the fire under his watch Seifer went about collecting spare bits and scraps from other forging to toss into the clay crucibles he'll add to the fire once it's hot enough. Plenty of work to be doing. It'll be more than a wait if he can't convince Tony to change his mind. He's been working on it, so far not much progress had been made.

When Kalen spoke up again he glanced up, raising an eyebrow. Surprising he'd come out and say it, but rather than reprimand him he just gave a nod and a grunt. "Yeah, I get that," His own paranoia about other people was far higher than his concerns of wild animals or monsters.

"Reasons Tony's so strict on the weapons, really. No shanking your neighbors rule. 'Course that's never stopped anyone. There are other ways, we got a dojo where my housemate's teachin' people to fight with a staff. You might not think it's much until you've had your skull cracked open with one. I do a little hand to hand training when I've got some spare time and I'm bored."

So there were self defense options that weren't blades. Still... He smirks. "If you're any good with a blade, maybe we'll find a way to practice anyway. Sure do miss mine." Hyne did he miss his.
