I'll be okay.

I just need you to be patient is all. That's all I really need from you.

It's a lot of work so I can't expect to do these things overnight.

nah I get that but you sure about that
im down if you need me to get ya stuff for it or whatever
just point where and imma come running

[Sitting around doing nothing is not something he likes doing. And he needs a bit of a distraction right now.]

Yeah, I'm sure.

All you've gotta do is stay put for me.

I'll keep that in mind for next time though. I'll call you again if I need something.

[There's a few minutes before the text appears back as a reply.]

aight fine

[Nothing else follows, but it's obvious that it's like a child throwing a tantrum.]

It'll be okay.

There's somethings I could get you to work on that aren't related to smith job though.

[He sends this almost begrudgingly, wanting to at least hear it out before he does anything.]

what is it?

Do you feel like cleaning up a storage room?

[ CLEANING IS HIS WORST NIGHTMARE... ]

[In Beat's tree house, he looks over his own mess...]

u asking the wrong guy dawg

You're starting to sound like Law.

Nevermind, I take it you can't help with that then?

not if u still wanna find your shit when im done with it

are you really that bad at cleaning

i can find my stuff aight but thats cause its my stuff

how hard would it be for you to organize a bunch of boxes

you didnt say that they was just boxes until now
i figured there was more shit that needed moving around yo

Nah they're just a bunch of boxes that need sorting.

Need to dust them off and keep equipment clean. It shouldn't be too bad.

[Okay Alphen, he can do that.]

and youll work on them trucks in exchange, right?

Yeah sure no problem.

That would be fine by me.

aight this stock room at the smithy right?
when dyou need me?

yeah it's at the smithy

you remember where that is right. do you need directions.

just come during opening hours

ill figure it out when i drop by tomorrow

[He really wants those trucks. And no he does not remember but he doesn't say that. He'll ask if he needs to. Which he might not. Welp.]

You can always call me back if you need anything.

It's not that hard to find the smithy last time I checked.

[He doesn't send a journal message the next day and shows up PRETTY LATE.]

What happened to you? I thought you'd drop by earlier.

[BEAT...]

Got lost on the way, yo. Still dunno where everythin' in this place is.

[And he chose not to ask for directions. Because who does that?]

If you get lost next time just look for smoke up at the top. That's how we found this place the first time.

[Yeah the smithy has plenty of smoke coming up into the sky. It's noticeable.]
