Regret not buying more iron now.

And why's that...?

Have you seen the price of it lately? I should have stockpiled more.

Actually, I haven't, but given how expensive everything else is getting, I guess I shouldn't be surprised.

All of it is getting ridiculous. I'm sure we'll be back to bartering for food soon enough.

Tell me about it, but I honestly think we'll get to the point when physical money doesn't exist before that happens.

I think I need to invest heavily in livestock.

I can safely say I've never made that mistake.

I don't usually. I suppose I got cocky recently.

In construction?

Blacksmithing.

...A black smith who didn't buy enough iron?

I overestimated my abilities on this one, I guess.

I'm afraid to ask how you'll manage.

By the skin of my teeth. It will be a close one.

I admit I'm surprised there is much call for a blacksmith these days.
