Yes, they sell those as pets. They're calming, actually! I was considering getting one for a friend.

[He shrugs, then grins at Alphonse agreeing to make something for him.]

A staff, actually. Made of wood, but with a spot on one end for a metal blade and a place on the other for a focus of some kind. A crystal, or something similar. That can't be transmuted, but the blade could. Oh, maybe a dragon head at the top to hold a crystal in its mouth. Could you do that?

[He pauses.]

I could... try and draw you a diagram but my art skills aren't exactly practiced.

I'd have to see if our fox would like them first, but I wouldn't mind having one, either. They seem easy to take care of.

[Al listened to the description, nodding along and tapping his chin thoughtfully.]

That would be easy, yes- and I'd be happy to shape the blade for you later on, too, if you find a suitable hunk of metal. So this would be a multipurpose tool, then... it would have to be sturdy... [This was more to himself than anything else.] Well, let's find and choose a piece of wood to work with- we can cut it down to the right length.

I'm sure I could find one later. For now, I did find a branch that might do nicely.

[Hawke goes back to his pile of wood and rummages for a moment, finally producing a long, thick branch with a few sprigs of leaves still attached. He'd clearly pulled it off of a tree though most of it was dead already and ready to fall.]

How's this?
sonofgold: (confident)

Oh, that's perfect. [Al smiled and examined the wood himself, before he set it down on a nearby stump. Clapping his hands, he pressed them to the branch, and sparking blue light covered the long piece of wood before it transformed before their eyes, with the staff becoming thinner in order to accomodate the depression for a blade on one end, a fierce-looking dragon's head on the other.

Al stepped back, looking immensely pleased with his work.]


How's that look? We can always adjust the size later if need be- or you can carve a niche for a blade later on yourself.

[Hawke's face lights up almost as brightly as the power coming from Alphonse's transmutation circle.]

It's perfect! Absolutely exactly what I was thinking. Almost like you read my mind.

[He reaches out to run his fingers over the back of the dragon's head. It's not Hawke's Key, his father's staff that he'd used to seal Corypheus at the Warden's behest. Adalwolfe had had the staff with him when he'd gone to sleep, but Atroma had only transported him to the fleet with the clothes on his back, not his other belongings. And honestly, while the staff was powerful, it came with emotional baggage he's happy to lay down for awhile at least.

This staff is very much more him than his father's.]


I'll have to find some good ore for the blade. Or maybe dragon bone, if that's possible. I wonder if the great lizards in the forest here are related enough to have the same properties.
