[Blade realizes at this point that he's not very good at figuring out what people think of him, because he was pretty sure everyone in TBO hated him except maybe Lapis and Jusis and maybe Husk?????
... Maybe he needs to poke his head out of the forge more.]
I don't mind. Even if you did hate me, I don't let things like that affect my work.
In my past life, I wasn't the most popular person on the Xianzhou. It never kept me from striving toward perfection with my creations. I outfitted the soldiers personally, regardless of their feelings towards me or my birth.
And, anyway... Jusis needs someone like you on his side. Not that you need my approval, but you have it, even if we might not agree on every single little thing.
Somehow... that doesn't surprise me. You seem like the kind of guy that goes by the beat of his own drum.
Which honestly, I can respect that. It's actually pretty inspiring to hear someone so devoted to their craft! It motivates me to get that serious about my music!
[Elliot you're already insanely serious about your music]
Haha, thanks. You're right that I don't need the approval, but I appreciate hearing it!
You're a genius at music, right? Venti's told me about your work. It wouldn't surprise me if you're the same way, but just nicer about it. Admittedly, people aren't my strong point.
[nah, really???]
We're good. I hope that if this violin isn't a bust, you'll consider accepting an instrument I made as a gift. I think that would be the least I can do considering all the trouble I've made for you and your husband.

I guess so.

Really? You mean it? That's such a sweet offer, Blade! It'd be a real honor to have a Blade original among my collection.
