"Furloin happens to have his own place, he insisted on moving to his own apartment as soon as he could afford it. I found Furloin while walking the streets and I saw this brownie selling rubbish from the alley. Not that what he was doing, the fact that he succeeded is the hilarious part!" Titus guffawed. "So I offered him a job in running my counter, for all his quirks he is a marvelous salesgnome." Titus smiled while looking at the brownie, than turned his attention to Viskyia. "I myself live in a house not far away, small, but it fits my needs.

"You may sleep here if you have no where else to go, I can fetch you a pillow and blanket from my house later. However, I believe it is now time to begin your apprenticeship." Titus walked to the back of the small workshop and opened a window- bringing cold air rushing in. Titus grabbed two breathing masks, gave one to Viskyia and smiled. "What brings people to my shop is the workmanship, in every aspect. Do you understand? I sense you are very experienced in gemstones, but the Jewler's Guild encompasses much more than gems."

From a shelf Titus grabbed a container full of ore. "Let us begin by purifying Silver." Titus fiddled with the forge, added fuel, and the room began to warm. "I'm sure you notice the lack of prerefined precious metal- that's because I prefer to get the best, sometimes you have to an extra step to ensure superior quality." The man smiled and added several scoops of the sooty oar into the smelting pan. From a barrel he added equal part rock salt into the pan and stuck it in the forge. "Silver melts at 1762 degrees..." He added as he narrated his steps. He prepared a vat of cool water and lye soap. Soon the rocks glowed red. "Put on your mask, do not breathe in the fumes..."

He added the rocks to the vat and billows of steam rose to the ceiling and snaked towards the open window. He waited for the rocks to cool before taking the vat and emptying it into a sluice. From the sluice Viskyia could see silver chips amongst the other chips, gleaming in the daylight. Titus smiled, bent down and began to pick out silver flakes. He beckoned Viskyia to follow suit.

"So, what have we learned so far?" He asked and smiled. "Care to explain the steps we have undertaken so far?"
