The forge’s heat shimmered in the air as the Armorer observed her apprentice, a young initiate whose armor was etched with the marks of relentless, grueling training. For a long time, she had felt a quiet pity for this novice, repairing their battered gear each night in silence. Having accepted them as her student, she had guided their hand from simple blades to intricate ornaments. Now, as the initiate’s fingers trembled over a half-formed knife, worn thin by the day’s labor, she stepped into the space behind them. Her presence was a solid warmth at their back, her hands enveloping theirs on the hammer’s haft, her chin resting lightly on their shoulder while the firelight danced across the beskar.
