[A slight clearing of the throat, followed by a soft, heavily-accented voice. Prim, almost. And serious.]

I, ah, understand there's been some talk of firearms and their usefulness lately, but — well. I was wondering if anyone here has any experience in the art of blacksmithing? Or might know where one could hypothetically acquire a sword? A shortsword, specifically.

Erm.

Thank you... in advance.

[Awkward pause goes here.]

— this is Aziraphale, by the way.

[Another pause.]

Very good, then.

...I've forged blades before. I don't have any shortswords completed, unfortunately, but I can create something to your liking if it isn't immediately pressing.

I don't believe it is, but there's the... small matter of having been attacked by a giant snake immediately upon my arrival, which, you'll understand, has made me rather wary. So, er — no, not immediately pressing, but in the meantime... have you got anything in stock?
