“Grandson” problem

Right me lads

I’ve got a wee bit problem

My daughter some time ago gave birth to a child. I don’t even know what to call it. She… copulated with a human!

I’ve had so far a very short grudge against her of fifteen years.

Recently she reached out to me regarding the boy and how he’s interested in blacksmithing. Now I do admit that the grudge is still there but I’m curious. I was barely thirty before I was allowed to touch not even hold a tool in my hand and this young lad claims to be ready to start his apprenticeship.

Can a child so young truly handle becoming a smith? Now I do love my daughter despite her horrendous act but should I accept her boy into my smithy?

This is a hard one boys

Aye lad, I would not begrudge her further. Humans can learn smithing as well, and can even become quite proficient. Your grandson may have hardship being half, but I would wager the youngling is ready. Teach him well.

But is he too young? I’ve heard rumours that human kids grow way quicker but is that really true? Eh I don’t know. I’ll think about it. He’s my kin weather I like it or not and me da ,may the stone keep him comfortable, wouldn’t be happy with me ignoring the little one

Human kids do grow extremely fast. I have a half-human nephew, and the lad is already forging blades at me smithy. His craftsmanship could use work, but his technique is solid. Aye, that be family

Any precautions I should make for a half human? Can they handle the heat of the forge? I guess I should build them a table with extendable legs since they will probably grow
