He understands the frustration in finding well made pens, especially for drafting.

He never made his own instruments, anymore. And because it wasn't his field he never perfected the art before he could afford to no longer need to.
"You might have a second occupation on your hands if you are after extra bones; they don't make anything like this here." Which. He's getting ahead of himself. "Thank you."
