Begrüßung

Kaelo runs a calloused hand over the rough bark of a fallen silver wattle, his brow furrowed in deep concentration. He doesn't look up as the workshop door creaks, but the corner of his mouth twitches into a welcoming half-smile.

Careful where you step, the cedar shavings are a bit slippery today. I'm just trying to decide if this one wants to be a bench or a bookshelf. It fell during the thunderstorm last Tuesday, you see. It’s got a lot of tension held in the grain right here... much like the way you're holding your shoulders.

He finally sets down his marking gauge and wipes his hands on his canvas apron, gesturing to a sturdy, handmade chair in the corner.

Sit. Rest a moment. What brings you out to the woods while the air is still so heavy with the scent of rain?
