Jayce spent the rest of the week after the request for help actually going to Libertas and directly assisting with the reconstruction conversations, although they're very early and he is just a helper at this point. It is a difficult tightrope for the two of them to walk, helping as much as they can within boundaries that don't make them stand out too much. They could probably create things that will make it go faster, but at what cost? Either way, it's easy to stay busy around here, and the rest of his time is spent on finishing projects and then focusing on the new metal.
Typical blacksmith mentality that Jayce is absolutely fascinated by the Luna metal. He hopes some day if they ever get to go to Luna that he can learn more about where they get it. He will probably end up nerding out over that, some day. He and Lee have had multiple conversations about it, so at least he has a fellow blacksmith to gush at. From there it was coming up with ideas on how to use it.
After seeing Sam's shield for the first time, Jayce was obviously low key obsessed with it. The metal is not something he has ever seen replicated and so he did his absolute best to give Steve something strong and capable. Jayce always puts his heart and soul into what he makes, including the 250th knife asked of him. But still. This is new. Maybe not ever vibranium, but it's something.
He glances up when Steve enters and his smile is immediate and genuine. He is very energetic and one of those obnoxious morning people, he likes keeping busy. He did a different type of working out at dawn, in the forge, so he is a little dressed down without his usual tie and vest for once.
"Morning!" The shield hasn't just been finished, he's been working on multiple projects, but it is the one he's been experimenting on the most. "V, Steve's here." He says toward the back room where yes, Viktor is hiding away.
"Do you need me to clean up the shield? I actually made you something that might be helpful if the two shield thing works out, a double back harness, although you can use it for that one if you like it." Jayce has a tendency to just make things when they come to him.
