"Sure," he said, excited to try the spajetti. Then, he took the second fork that was on his part of the table and cut a small piece of meat for her, feeding it to her. "How do you like it?" he asked.

Tazin chewed it and swalloed, grinning as she finished. "Wonderful!" She said, offering him a forkfull of spajetti for him to try as well.

((*knee slaps* Spajetti...))
Raphael ate the spajetti, slurping the last noodle. "Delicious..." he said slowly, flirting with his eyes. He licked his lips slowly as well, then took a slow sip of wine, all the while keeping eye contact with Tazin's blue eyes.

Tazin kept her navy blue eyes on him as well, and they sparkled with amusement. She was really enjoying herself. She too took her own slow sip of wine, savoring the flavor.
((Ugh, I'm braindead.... Skip to the end of the meal?))

((WEEEEE!!!!))
Okay well, they were finished, and Raphael, who had had two glasses of Cranberrio Wignon, was a little tipsy. He wasn't very loud, like you'd expect someone like him to be when a little drunk, but very... outgoing. It's not that he did things that he'd never do, but he did them at a much quicker pace. He was walking out of the restaraunt, pulling Tazin along, and they walked back to the bridge, staring at how the light from the lanterns glittered on the water. Suddenly, he kissed her, very deeply for a very long time, wrapping his arms around her waist.

Tazin's head was much more clear than Rahael's, as she had only had one glass of wine. But she was greatly enjoying herself as he pulled her back to the little bridge over the river. And surprised would be the best word to describe her feelings as he pulled her in for a kiss. She froze for a second, unsure of what to do, but, tentatively, she kissed him back.

Raphael was really into the kiss, deepening it with his tongue, sliding his hand down Tazin's back. He almost let his hand fall to far down her back, but stopped himself before he did anything that he would regret. After about a minute, he pulled up from the kiss, reluctantly, and smiled at her while licking his lips.

Tazin was a bit dissapointed as he pulled away. Her hand remained on the back of his neck as she slowly opened her eyes, meeting his smile. She smiled too, at a loss for words. What did one say after being kissed like that? She had no idea. She had never been kissed like that in her life. She was speachless, but very happy as well.

((-is trying to read the thread but is halted with horror- Oh. My. God. Did he make a sword out of silver and stone? First of all, any sword made out of silver would be horrible. It would be soft, and break incredibly easily. It's almost as bad as making a sword out of gold. You have to use steel. Steel. Or iron. Please. Silver. Oh my god. And if you made a hilt out of stone, you'd ruin the sword. And it'd be hugely heavy. For a hilt, you could use brass, or wood, but not stone... And it takes days to make a sword, not minutes. Here's an exerpt on swordmaking: In most techniques the basic materials, generally iron and/or steel, are shaped into a bar or billet first. At this stage if several metals are to be used they will be combined by welding to form the billet. In some techniques, notably the traditional folded steel blades of Japan, the billet might be drawn, folded and welded back on itself creating layers of steel of different types. In others longer bars or rods of steel and iron might be welded together, edge to edge, to create the basic billet placing the softer iron inside with the steel at the core and edges.
Once the billet is created it is drawn out farther, generally tapering to the edge(s) and point. A technique called fullering would be used to create the tang, a section of the sword body with reduced dimensions where the handle is attached. The same technique might be used to create a ridge or ridges down the length of the blade. Whether single or multiple, the ridge's primary purpose to give the blade greater structural strength relative to its mass.
The final step of forming, and one that affects both the finishing and the heat treatment is 'normalizing'. The blade would be carefully and evenly heated and then cooled slowly. The point of normalizing is to remove the stresses which may have built up within the body of the blade while it was being forged. During the forging process the blade might be heated and cooled differentially creating stress, some parts might be hammered more than others, some areas hammered enough to "work harden". If these stresses are left in the blade they could affect the finishing and when it came time to heat treat the blade, the hardening and tempering might not be as even. Potentially enough stress could be added that the blade would be weak in spots, weak enough that it could fail under enough strain.
Sorry, that was driving me crazy.))
