Mending Armor

Marachius sat on the ground with several pliers and hammers scattered around him. He held part of his armor over his lap and carefully examined it before finally stopping at one spot. There, a few links of the chainmail had been rent apart. Twisting the piece around in his hands, Marachius finally sat it down across lap and picked up some of the tools. 

“You doing okay, Marc? You took a pretty good hit out there.”

The paladin looked up to see his squadron leader standing over him. Kiernan smiled and watched as Marachius set the pliers back on the ground.

“Little bruised, but I’ll be okay,” Marc answered, reaching a hand around to rub his right side. “Unfortunately, my gear is a little worse for wear.”

“You’re going to fix it?”

“Yeah. I’ve had some practice at it.”

Kiernan knelt down and looked at the piece on Marc’s lap.

“Its nice armor. But you might want to consider getting some new gear. Something a bit sturdier for out here.”

“That’d be nice,” Marc answered with a sigh. “But I can’t afford it.”

“Got someone special you’re spending all your money on?” Kiernan asked with a playful grin.

“Not really,” Marachius said with a shrug and then a grin. “I mean, some people think I do.”

“You don’t know?” Kiernan chuckled.

“One of Reggy’s friends think we’re together.”

“Who’s Reggy?”

“We grew up together. She’s my best friend.”

“Ah. Always good to have a best friend.” Kiernan stood up. “Anyways, we should see if we can’t find you some new armor. I don’t want to see another member of my team get sent home injured.”

“That’d be nice, but I’m not going to hold my breath. I’ll go ahead and fix what I’ve got for now, at least.”

“Okay. And I’ll talk to the commander and see what we can do.”
