"Welcome back, everyone," said Amaya, with a bit of a stiff nod, seeming just a touch more irritable and less excited than she normally would have been for this class. But, of course, she was trying her best to not make a big deal out of it. "Now, I'm sure you can't really have a class about metal arts and crafts without having a class about chainmail, so guess what? That's what we'll be learning about today.

"As an armorer, I'm pretty familiar with chainmail and its long storied history," and, don't worry, she'd definitely get into it!, "but it can be used for plenty of other things than armor as well. For example...cleaning cast-iron pots! Wetsuits to protect against shark attacks! Cut gloves!

"...oh, well, okay," Amaya allowed after a moment of realization, "those last two are just different variations on armor, I guess, but, uh...handy pouches for your shiny gold coins or math rocks. Unique fashion accessories! Point is, there's a lot you can do with chainmail if you get clever enough with it, and it's fairly easy to do, it just takes a lot of time and patience. And since time is limited, let's get into learning how to do it, and then let's get to work!"

Linked together somehow like in a chain!

Senshi

Stewart

Stark

That's right, folks, while there's some supplemental rings to help with the time crunch of it all, you're starting from scratch with wire and a rod, as Amaya begins to show you one way to make chainmail and different ways of linking them together.

There are some general patterns for the most basic projects, like a simple piece of jewelry or a pouch, but of course Amaya encourages everyone to play around with their own ideas for what they'd like to create, and will offer advice for how to make what you want to happen happen....as long as it's reasonable.

This was something Senshi had experience in, even if his current attire didn't use mail at all, and so as soon as they were given supplies, Senshi began quietly knitting chainmail oven mitt. Perhaps there was something he could back it with that wouldn't conduct heat very well...?

This was something Stark could easily get lost in doing. Small and repetitive motions that would turn into something tangible? This was a perfect Stark activity.

He was making something that would probably be a bracelet once it was finished. Maybe more of a cuff.

It's probably a good thing they're not dealing with anything too involved or dangerous today, honestly...

No reason! Ahem. Certainly nothing to do with a temporary houseguest from another realm bearing...news....

Seriously, though, my cast iron chainmail scrubber is one of my absolute favorite things in the entire world.
