[Justice has been meaning to make contact with Sokka since they re-entered orbit. So sorry, Sokka, because now you have a man who looks suspiciously dead arriving at your forge, looking you up and down. Riona hadn't mentioned that he is injured.]
Are you the Captain of the Blue Fish? [Justice knows his name, but he's more comfortable using titles and ready identifiers over names. He'll use Sokka's name more as he warms up.]
[Welp. That sure is a walking dead guy. That sure is a thing that's happening right now. Sokka kind of...stares for a moment, if worse comes to the worst, he's got plenty to defend himself here. Of course, doing it one handed would be a lot more difficult, but-
And the the dead guy speaks to him, and he relaxes a little. ]
[At this point, Justice is used to people being uneasy around him, so he ignores it. Either the man will warm up to him or he won't.] I was informed by Riona that you forge shields.
[Justice looks down at the man's injured arm. He doesn't know all that much about forging, but he's pretty sure it's two-handed work.] Are you still able to?
[At the mention of Riona, Sokka instantly relaxes- names of his friends are always magic like that. ]
Oh, you know Riona. Yeah, I do. Do you need one?
[He follows Justice's gave and sighs.]
Yeah, it's just taking me way longer than it usually does. There used to be another guy here, but he's left. Soooo it's just me. And my one functioning arm.
[Justice looks Sokka's arm up and down again, then back to his eyes. Riona has told Justice that mortals really prefer it if he makes eye contact while speaking to them, so that's what he's going to do.] I have no forging expertise, but I have time and a strong arm. I would be willing to assist you in the forge, if you wish it.
Riona's shield withstood gunfire on the planet. I understand that I am likely to encounter more guns, so I require a shield that can protect me from modern weaponry as much as possible.
[Listen, Sokka, it was a struggle to get Justice to make consistent eye contact. Getting him to blink properly and not make too much eye contact is another thing.]
I believe it would be interesting to learn. I will assist you, then. [Congrats, Sokka. You have signed up to spend more time with the staring corpse man.]
Well, thanks man. I appreciate it. [He offers his good hand to shake, a little unsure, does the staring corpse guy know how to do this?? ] You have a name?
[Justice stares at the hand for a second. Yes, this is supposed to be a greeting, isn't it? He's a little uncertain as he takes the human's hand, though not as awkward about touching as he used to be.]
If you wish to call me something, then 'Justice' will suffice.
Thank you. [He knows that that's how one's supposed to respond to welcomes. At least some of Riona's lessons are sinking in.] Tell me what you need done and I shall do it.
[He may be creepy, but at least he's ready to be helpful while he's creepy.]
I have nothing pressing now, if you wish me to begin immediately.
[Literally he spends his time helping Anders in the clinic and getting lessons from his friends about medicine and passing as human. Otherwise he fills his time in drift reading, exploring, and collecting things with cool memories on them. He's happy to have something else to do, because spirits aren't supposed to be idle.]
[Justice glances down at his hands. He is not sure if he's as vulnerable to fire as humans are in this state, but it seems like the kind of thing he doesn't really want to experiment with, especially when molten metal is involved.]
Very well. That seems wise. Is there any other safety equipment I should acquire?
[Justice pulls on the apron and the gloves, experimentally bending his fingers to check maneuverability.] Is there anything else I should keep in mind before we begin?
Try not to touch anything hot? And let me know if something's too heavy for you. I'll tell you when the metal is ready to take off the heat- it's something you learn by experience, more than anything else.

[That's kinda creepy dude, did Riona not tell you when to stop? ]
Well, I won't turn down the extra help. I mean I can always direct you to what you need to do, and you'll get a great life skill too, right?

My schedule is flexible for the most part.

[He was not prepared for this, he glances around him, rubbing the back of his head. ]
Well. Let's get you some gloves or something you you don't burn your... your...self. Safety first!
no subject

Here you go, this should help. I might get you a mask, but you should be okay for now. We don't need to use a blow torch or anything right now.
