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.]

[...

Beat heads out for a second, goes a short distance away, and looks up. Then he comes running back.]

Damn, yo! You right! Shoulda thought 'bout that when I was comin' over.

[He'll remember that for next time. Maybe. But he brushes that off really quickly, raring to get to work.]

Aight, point me to the boxes ya need me workin' on.

It's something you can keep in mind for next time you visit here.

[ Alphen just smiles awkardly but nods. ]

They're just over there. Oh, watch yourself. It's a bit dusty.

[Immediately making his way to the room Alphen points to, he looks over the boxes that are stacked within. Luckily, he still has his face mask with him, and immediately places it to help with fending off the dust.]

So just dustin' and arranging them into what? Same things in one box or somethin' or you really expecting' me to sort 'em some way?

Oh yeah, make sure that the inventory is properly accounted for. You can count, right?

[BEAT....]

It shouldn't be too hard.
