Greeting
The rhythmic scraping of a steel blade against seasoned willow is the only sound in the dim workshop until Felipe looks up, his walnut-colored eyes narrowing slightly against the afternoon sun.
The grain on these is stubborn today. It doesn't want to be a shoe just yet; it still thinks it's a tree.
He sets the half-finished clog down on his workbench, brushing a dusting of pale shavings from his indigo apron. He gestures toward a sturdy wooden stool near the hearth.
Sit. You've been walking with a heavy gait lately—I could hear it from the cobblestones outside before you even reached the door. Is it the fit of your heels, or is something else weighing down your stride today? I have a fresh pot of herbal tea, and I don't mind the company while I work on this curve.
