[perhaps #7]

Frantically running as the steel armor fit loosely around his body. Pieces clanking against each of the other pieces. 'Ha this is going to be great! Everyone's going to get a kick out of this.' Slowing down to a slower pace along the pathway his helmet barely on his head as he swayed a bit. 'Phew this is a bit heavier than it was a while ago. I wonder if they're still near the..' Stopping at a corner stall in the market, looking at the merchants trying to find someone that looked familiar.

'what was it called again? I should have remembered the name of the place. But hey at least I know the way.' 

 “Hey!! Guys guys guys!! Look look lookie!!” standing in front of them. 

“I’m a tin can!!” laughed making vibrating sounds as his left arm fell off with a thud to the ground. Looking down at the arm for a moment. "Oh nooo my arm my arm aaahh.." 

"The parel!! I’m in such parel! So much parel!” his right arm soon fell after, looking down at his other arm, “Aaahh I‘m falling to pieces! The pieces they leave my boo-ody!!” 

the armor began shaking as his right leg flopped down upon the ground, “Oh noo I’m the black knight.."

 "Help help help I’m.” Husian grumbling before punching the chest of the armor as it fell over wiggling around. "Ha. ow that didn't hurt. ow." as [main] took off the helmet and the chest piece of armor 

“I‘m.. I‘m alive!!” jumping up and feeling all over his body. 

“HAHA! I am hatched from the heaviest and hardest of eggs.."

"Muahhaha I live!” Husian smacking the back of his head, “Give the armor back."

"You idiot..” rubbing the back of his head most of the group chuckled. “Fine."

 "I‘ll give it back."

"You guys are harder than fresh goats milk.” picking up the pieces of armor, tossing them on his shoulder carrying them back to the blacksmith.

Watching him, shaking their heads at his antics sometimes making them laugh other times what he said making them stare in confusion. Making his way back to the blacksmith, “Hey."

"I'm Back." 

"Nope, not even a smile just stared at me.” sighing softly, placing the armor back on the table carefully. Walking to the armor aligned on the shelves, looking around noticing the other types of armor. 

“Maybe, I‘ll just get something better more my style.” nodding his head looking at the pieces of armor, 

“Alright well look all ya want ya still got ya money.” gripping the armor from the table with a grunt picking it on a mantel. The blacksmith rubbing his back limping his way over to the wall placing the pieces back where they went. 

[Main] watched, “You alright? Need some help with that?” 

blacksmith shook his head, “Ogh just getten ol is all..” limping his way over to the forge, slowly kneeling down to grab a few pieces of wood tossing it into the fire. [Main] walked behind him looking at his back as he moved, for a moment, 

“Well this will hurt for a moment but it will feel better after words..” The blacksmith turning around trying to swing, but [Main] gripped him and began to squeeze then picking him up from the floor popping his back in multiple places. Soon placing him back upon his feet letting go as he stumbled for a moment, before rubbing his back moving slightly around for a moment.

 “You!"

"You..” stretching his body and moving his limbs around he still walked with a limp.

“You."

 "Fixed my back..” 

[Main] shook his head, “No your back still needs work, but I’d take it easier and take your time with things and you’ll feel a lot better..” placing two fingers up to his brow and saluted him. 

“But I will be sure to come back and get that armor."

"Go ahead and keep the money I‘ll be back for something I have to hurry and get back anyways..” Turning around heading towards the door, as his arm was grabbed 

“Hmm?” turning his head to see the blacksmith glaring at him and pulling him over to the table 

“Oh no.. you started something you finish it..” Struggling a bit pulling his away from the blacksmith. “Hey hey hey. No no all you need is someone to rub your back for a while and it will be better not all the way but it’s the only thing can do..” his arm was loosened as the blacksmith let go, 

“Then do it.” asked the blacksmith while taking off his shirt placing it on the chair beside the table. 

“”Oh.. Well. I can’t for a long time I have to head out soon.."

" But I’ll help as much as I can..” 

the blacksmith laying on top of the table his tail laying on his back slightly. [Main] climbing up on top of the blacksmith each leg on either side of his waist. Leaning down his fingers would soon press against his shoulders feeling knots all along his shoulders, and down his back working his palm and fingers into each knot being gentle as he could in taking the knots out. The blacksmith groaned and held onto the table with his paws the pain of each knot felt as if it was going to be forever until his back would be free of pain.

“Take slow long breaths it will help.” added while working on the sides of his back, 

“In through the nose and out the mouth” the breathing of the blacksmith would do just that with jolts of breathing when he touched new knots and worked on them. 

“What are you doing!?” [main] looked up as he was on top of the blacksmith without a shirt on his hands were to his lower back almost touching the rear and tail of the blacksmith. Sedalia marched over towards him pulling him off the blacksmith by his hair. “I‘m sorry for him sir please forgive him..” Sedalia growled dragging him away from the blacksmith. 

“Don‘t worry yourself I asked him to.. 

He hasn‘t done anything wrong” as [main] flailed about before standing up holding his head rubbing the part of his head where the chunk of hair was being pulled. 

“He has back problems.. 

And I was helping with them..

 But I suppose its time to go” [main] said still rubbing his head standing by the group as they stared at him. 

“Thank you for your help I haven‘t felt this good in many years. 

When you come back through come back and see me I might have something just for you when you come back.” 

nodding his head with a smile. “Alright will do sir..

 And take things easy or else you’ll be back to the way you were..

 And remember lift with your legs not your back..” Sedalia pushing him out of the door 

“Another time sir, and once again sorry for him but we must be off..” following behind as the group would walk around him as the were all ready. Making their way out of the town as it was silent for a moment before it was cut short, “So…

 what was that all about?”

 Kontara asked curiously, “Hmm? Oh I popped his back, and was giving him a massage.. 

Back where I come from it is a way to help heal and sooth those that work hard.. it’s a good way to relax having a massage” nodding his head with a smirk, 

“It is also a way for mates to get things started getting heated and making the experience a much more pleasurable experience..”

They all seemed to freeze for a moment in thought of the second thing he added. “You were planning to mate with the blacksmith?” 

Husian asked curiously “NO no no no no I was just being helpful sadly enough..

 It is what those I know back where I come from want from me is my massages and my ear to listen to their problems and help them as much as I can..” sighed slightly.

 “I don’t mind if they need a massage and advice or someone to listen to them I’ve done that all my life.. 

So used to it..” glancing at everyone around him as they were off in their own little world thinking. Closing his eyes for a moment while continuing to walk with them.

 “If any of you need a massage I would be happy to help since ya‘ll are helpin me with this..” nodding his head with a soft smile. 

"Clothing optional" chuckling to himself.
