Perrin
lost himself in the work, for a time forgetting everything but the heat
of the metal, the ring
of his hammer, and the smell of the forge, but there came a time when he
looked up and found
the smith - Dermid Ajala, he had said his name was - taking off his
vest, and the shoeing yard
dark. All the light came from the forge and a pair of lamps. And Zarine
was sitting on an anvil
by one of the cold forges, watching him.
"So
you really are a blacksmith, blacksmith," she said.
"He
is that, mistress," Ajala said. "Apprentice, he says, but the
work he did today amounts to his
master’s piece as far as I am concerned. Fine stroking, and better
than steady." Perrin shifted his
feet at the compliments, and the smith grinned at him. Zarine stared at
both of them with a lack
of comprehension.
