Maybe she got weirded out by me...what was I thinking?! Sending her into a crazy restaurant she doesn't like...then acting arrogant...then stupid! Veigar stupid!
Despite that Poppy generally enjoyed the date, Titus couldn't get the 'bad' date out of his mind. The morning of March 15 was filled with regret and disappointment. Titus flopped out of bed and ate only light breakfast. He tried getting his mind off Poppy for the day. He tried to see if there was anything at the Navy, he read a chapter of spell books, and he tried to study the stars again - none of them worked.
Now he travels back to Blomgrun's Smithy where Titus hopes to get thing smooth and right. This day is just to make sure that Poppy doesn't get weirded out like the last time. The possible mistakes he made on the first date will be corrected. And when the day ends, he will make sure that Poppy did enjoy it and he is happy about it.
Wearing his sky blue tunic, black boots and black gloves, Titus knocks on the doors of the Smithy. He's not going fancy like last night. Just keep it simple and quiet for Poppy. That's how she prefers it.

The smithy was quiet on this morning. Lights were out, the forge was not lighted up with a flame and in general it seemed as if no one was present. The reason? Poppy was just waking up.
Her room was... unusual for the Ambassador. Her father had originally decorated it for a simple girl. Colors were bright... and mostly pink. It was clear that Poppy was not exactly like she currently was back when she was living here.
She gets up from her bed, stretching her arms and yawning. Wearing simple pajamas that were colored less brightly, but still noticeably pink. She didn't exactly like the colors, but it was something her father had given her a long time ago, and she had nothing else to wear at night that still fit.
She walks over to the kitchen and puts a coffee pot on the stove, starting to make herself a cup of morning coffee as she takes a simple breakfast from the cupboards. Bread and butter with a piece of meat and cheese to put on the bread. Just a regular morning... or so she thought.
I should go and light the forge... I could use a relaxing day on the forge, just doing what I know and love."
As the coffee finishes, she pours it into a cup and takes a sip, finishing her bread. Then... the door knocks. Shrugging, Poppy takes the cup and walks over to the door, taking another sip and opening it, looking at Titus.
Titus saw the pinkish color of Poppy's pajamas and then Poppy holding a mug of coffee. Looks like she was waking up. Admittedly, Poppy looks really cute in her pink pajamas and Titus blushes slightly cause of that.
"Hey Poppy. I didn't notice that you just woke up. Can I come in?"

Poppy takes another sip from her coffee, shrugging.
"If you wish. I was about to fire up the forge, but I suppose that can wait."
She turns around and walks back inside, heading to the kitchen. She takes a cupcake and and takes a bite out of it, then takes another one and walks to the door of the kitchen and throws it to Titus at the door before returning to take her cupcake. She then walks back to the living room and sits down, sitting down in a chair.
Titus walks in the room to find the place a bit cooler than expected. Maybe it's just the morning but when Titus peeks at the forge, the fireplace isn't lighted up. He returns back to the living room and catches the cupcake in his hand. He takes a small bite of the cupcake and sits down in the couch.
"There was nothing to do actually. The Navy is relatively quiet. I didn't feel like studying spells and looking at space. So I thought that I could spend the day with you."

Poppy takes another sip from her coffee and finishes her cupcake, thinking for a moment. Another day with the admiral? Perhaps he had learned that fancy restaurants and such were not her kind of things by now. This... could be interesting.
"Another day with you? Perhaps... though I was hoping to do some smithing today. That can wait though I suppose. So, any thoughts on what we could do?"
Titus doesn't want the day to be boring where the two will not enjoy anything or as crazy as the restaurant. Certainly Titus knew that Poppy hated that restaurant and he won't take her out again.
Then he looks at his sword belt...without his gladius. He's still missing the sword and the last one Poppy made broke. This, however, gave him a great idea. Titus looks at the forge for a moment and turns his head back at Poppy again, smiling.
"Hmm...can you teach me how to blacksmith? Remember you made me a gladius but it broke? Maybe for the time, you can teach me or something?"
Titus knew that making a sword will take days. But at least this can be the day Poppy can enjoy.

"He wants to learn smithing? Amusing. There is not much that can be taught or learned in a day."
Poppy takes one last sip from her coffee, emptying the cup and placing it on the table. She looks at Titus curiously, yet her expression is the same as it is always. Determined, serious and focused.
"There isn't much I can teach within a single day. Also, I should probably change, it would be a shame if a stray spark ended up burning what little I am wearing, would it not?"
The last sentence was a test of sorts from her. Something to see the reaction from Titus. This could be quite amusing.
Titus stares at Poppy and her cute pinkish pajamas. He gets slightly hypnotized for a moment, though no one could notice it. Poppy really looks cute. But the moment Titus finds out that he's getting distracted by her pajamas, he quickly takes another bite of the cupcake in order to snap out of it.
"Maybe I won't learn much but it'll be interesting. A few things learned is better than nothing learned at all."

Shrugging Poppy stand up, leaving her cup on a table and walking over to her room, a glimpse of the extremely girly decorations Blomgrun had set up there being visible when she entered before quickly closing the door and going to her closet.
A couple of minutes later, she returns to the living room, now wearing a thick, fire-resistant smith's outfit.
"You may want to be careful around the forge. My father noted once that fur can catch fire quite easily if you act stupid."
She leans against the closed door leading to her room, looking over to the forge room.
Interesting to know that he himself could be ash if he were that stupid. When Poppy came out of the room, Titus blinked when he thought he saw girly-themed stuff in her room. Then again, it's not fitting for some Iron Ambassador, especially with her steeled attitude. Titus concluded that he's just slightly deluded.
"I'll keep that in mind...so I don't get my own blacksmith outfit then?"

"I suppose I could find you one. We'll have to fit if the old thing fits you..."
Poppy walks over to another room, seeming much less brightly colored. The walls were a soft brown, and the room in all seemed quite modest.
She walks over to a cabinet and opens it, looking through a few different outfits inside before taking an old looking, yet unscathed blacksmiths's outfit. This was not just some random blacksmith's suit, this was the one Blomgrun wore all those years ago. Only one that survived, since the one that he was wearing was ruined by the assassins years ago.
She then returns to the living room and drops the outfit next to Titus.
"See if that fits. It's the only one left here that isn't built for... the female body."
She then walks over to the forge room, refills the forge with coal and ignites the coals to create a bright and hot flame, that dies out to near invisible soon that creates immense heat. Poppy then sits down on an anvil and picks up Whomper, which was left behind a locked door in the forge room of the smithy for the night. This would no doubt be an unusual day.
"Do I just wear it over or I have to completely change my clothes?"
Titus hollers from the living room. He's unsure about the clothes since he doesn't know if it will fit him. He examines the outfit as he looks at the back and hangs it upside down. No doubt it came from his father. He was the only male person here.

"Your choice Titus. I personally prefer to wear as little as possible beneath mine, basically just underwear, because the forge is extremely hot and you will feel the warmth through the outfit quite well."
As usual, Poppy wasn't exaggerating. The forge was burning extremely hot, causing a bead of sweat already to form on her forehead. She was not lying about what she was wearing either, but the smithing outfit was covering everything beneath it. She looks around the room for a moment, checking for a fitting piece of metal for teaching while sitting on the anvil. What could she teach to Titus in one mere day...
Titus' mouth is slightly open and frozen. Poppy? Only in her...underwear? He turns his vision to the blacksmith outfit he's still holding, then shifts his eyes downward.
Do I have to wear with just my boxer briefs? He looks at Poppy once again, this time with vivid thoughts of Poppy...in just her underwear. Then with crazier and crazier thoughts, what would that look like? Damn...he wonders if he gets to actually see it...
WHAT AM I THINKING!?
He quickly brushes off all the dirty thoughts inside his head...even though they were vivid. Going back to wanting to learn smithing, Titus looks around the room wanting to get off the weird things he just thought right now.
