Roisin nods in response and waits for him to put them on. She was leaning against the doorway, crossing her arms. When he came back, she looked at him from head to toe as she handed him a pair of goggles. "Though you wouldn't be doing much other than pass items and put the finish items outside with the rest, better safe than sorry," Roisin said as she let him inside. "Would you also like to deliver them as well, or is it getting late for you?" She asked.

The inside of the cabin was neat and well-organized, similar to the outside. There were typical tools and setups for a blacksmith. On the wall, there was her battleaxe that had been collecting dust. Nearby was an armor stand that had dark red armor her size. Roisin had many pouches, but it was unclear if some were seeds, gold coins, or gunpowder. Somewhere in the corner of the cabin was a box of small wooden animals and objects. Instead of a bed, there was a hammock. Overall, the inside of the cabin seemed small yet spacious. Lastly, there was a stool near the anvil.

"It is not even lunch time yet, and you did promise me you would join me for a picnic lunch," Jude reminded her with some amusement. He fiddled with the goggles a bit until he got them on properly. He grinned, feeling like a kid in this get-up, and adjusted them one more time before following her inside.

"You have a very cozy home," he remarked, looking around curiously. "And workshop. Is this your home and workshop in one?" He ran an idle hand over the anvil.

"I know. I tend to prefer getting things done first before anything else. We would eat afterwards." She answered. Roisin planned on keeping her word to the panic. She is still surprised by the sudden invitation. Still, she would join him. Roisin watched him fiddle with the goggles and put them all on. A smile appeared quickly before disappearing right after. He truly reflected the people of the past in her life.

"Yes. I didn't want to make a separate area or put some of my work outside unless there are requests. I'm also not too fond of renting a home in the village for work." Roisin explained. She had the helmet near the anvil. "Right now, I have to melt the helmet and make the rest. I have two armors completed and just a chest piece outside, right?" Roisin asked, making sure as the bear attack threw her off.

Jude went to confirm and brought back the confirmation. "I had not expected to be pulled into the actual making of a piece of armor," he said in amusement. "I will do what I can to help, but I have never done anything like this." He pulled over a short stool and sat down to take the weight off his stump. It ached or worse if he stood on it too long.

What she said was true based on Jude's confirmation. "That's okay. As I said, you would mainly pass me items I need and put the finished items outside. If you would actually like to participate in the making. I can have you pour the melted metal into the molds I have. " Roisin explained as she started the fire.
