Human Village-Crystal Fire's House
Crystal is sitting at an anvil, a scrap piece of metal laying on top of it with a hammer next to it. Sweat is dripping from his face, having been working for a while. Two complete swords lay on the wall a distance to his left, the evidence of his labor already done for the day. Wiping sweat from his brow, he takes in a deep breath and reaches over for some tongs, so that he may place the scrap metal into the furnace to heat it to appropriate levels so he can beat on it and shape it with the hammer.
However, as he grabs the tongs, he hears the door to his house open, and expects that it's a customer. "Welcome to Fire's Edge, Crystal's Blades," he says as he starts to move the metal to the furnace. "The sharpest blades to your specifications are what I'm here for, how may I help you?"
"By taking a damn break and playing with me, ze~!" comes the response from none other than Marisa Kirisame, out to drag Crystal away from work. "Reimu's just being boring again, so I'm gonna bug you for a bit, alright?"
"Marisa, you know I have work to do," Crystal responds, though half-heartedly. He then spends a few seconds just staring at the scrap metal, not quite in the furnace yet.
"Aw, you're just like Kourin," Marisa retorts. "Always busy with your store even though no one comes and buys anything, anyway, so I just come to borrow your stuff. You two need to have some fun every once in a while."
Crystal's mind then comes to a decision; it was a slow day, so why not give in? "Well, I suppose if you won't leave me alone even if I keep working..." he says as he places the scrap metal back on the anvil. He then stands up and smiles at Marisa, her energetic personality getting the better of him.
"Sweet!" Marisa exclaims as she quickly grabs Crystal's hand. "Let's run off to the Forest and go bug Alice now!"
Before Crystal can even get in a word of protest, he finds himself being drug off by Marisa, quickly grabbing her broom and running out the door with him in tow.
