Voice; Action to Triton's Mistress
[To begin with, there's only the stony grind of a grinding wheel, the creaking pump of a foot pedal spinning it and the wet sound of metal being sharpened on it. Archer, below deck, made no noise himself until a few more seconds of grinding, eventually pulling the blade away and inspecting it as he spoke.]
No one prefers being in this situation, but I suppose I should enjoy conversation while I have my chances. Chores and menial tasks have their place and while I have no interest in board games, I need a means of entertainment. So, I'll talk.
[The blade was returned and substituted for another, albeit smaller. Archer was now sharpening metal arrow-heads. He had many more to go through.]
But... I haven't done that in awhile. What in the world is there to talk about?
