No shame in that. A child taught me how to use the weapon replicator. [ daisy isn't really a child, she's a grown woman, older than nile probably, but joe has difficulty parsing ages sometimes and daisy has a sweet baby face. and she is a child, comparatively, but he will never say that to her face. ]
I used to make my own weapons and yet the machine bested me.
[ so they all need help! he sets to work doing the future space equivalent of putting the kettle on the stove before turning back to the tiny woman. ] Maybe you could help me find a cup.
( she'd gotten a cup for herself out already so finding a second for him is an easier task, remembering just where she'd found them originally and going for another. after all, it's only polite to have tea with the person that's helped you get tea )
You're a-- ( her first instinct is to ask if he's a blacksmith but there have been many things already that she's assumed were natural and ended up being wrong about )
Not very often anymore, but in the past. It was a steady trade and unfortunately weapons have often been in demand so apprenticeships were not difficult to find. [ more difficult for yusuf to find than nicolΓ², but that's neither here nor there at the moment.
he huffs a soft laugh, half smile peeking through his beard. ] Must have made thousands of nails.
[ so many nails, a never ending supply of nails. but their horses always had the nicest shoes! ]
[ while the kettle brings the water to a boil, joe turns to lean against the counter, pressing his hand to his chest. ]
I am Yusuf al-Kaysani. It is a pleasure to make your acquaintance... [ he trails off, eyebrows lifted and obviously waiting for her to fill in the gap of her own name. ]

There are many things that can be learned through such skills, through taking the time to make something yourself.
( and whilst moiraine didn't have that many skills in that she did appreciate the craftsmanship of other people's work )

( she gives him a nod in return, looking to the kettle oonce it clicks )
I never learned crafting in such a way. I suppose I was always able to find someone else that did know in time.
