I don't wear heavy armor or anything. The only thing I have is...

[He unsheathes his smithy hammer from a holster at his hip.]

On my world, when a smith is ready to enter the guild, our final test is to forge our own hammer. It's meant to show that there's a cycle to all things. That without the ore and the stone, we couldn't work the ore and the stone.

[It's a simple hammer; no runes or intricate designs inlaid into the metal. But if Darin's been at the forge for as long as he says he has, this hammer looks like it was freshly forged. Its condition is immaculate despite the handle showing its years of use. No signs of cracks or welding spots. This hammer might outlast Darin with the way it was forged and maintained.]

[Regardless, he holds it out towards Baiken.]
