_In the village of Flüsternder Wald inhuman and human races roam on generally peaceful terms. Primarily populated by those who bring in coin or are looking for assistance after a battle. This village is small only occupying around 20 buildings most of which are just homes for those too old to continue on anywhere else. The businesses' are however quite large and usually resemble mansions or lodges as the primary export of this village is lumber, of course because they are surrounded by it. There is also a river around a mile away from the primary village with a lumber mill called Sahzahn upon it. If you want a peaceful environment but also want something to do, this is the place to be, and who knows, you might find some secrets that hide away in this quaint little village._

_Currenty Berdetak is having a relaxing sculpting session in his shop with a log of pine, making a set of bowls and utensils. He's about 80% done with the "Log" As it is now two bowls and a large spoon and a ladle._
Danny
*Terrel gradually made his way into the village, riding along the frosted ground atop his steed. It was different than the one he brought last time, a lot more built for dexterity unlike his previous horse that he used to bring some of the things he bought from here home. He was looking for one place in particular and as his gaze fell upon the shop, he urged his horse onwards and hopped off as it came to a stop. The Silnari wore a blue overcoat, something similar in design to the last, but different in coloring to fit the colder weather. He makes his way to the door, opening it up as a cold draft quickly flooded inside. It didn't take long to notice the familiar beastkin, which caused him to grin in turn.*"Long time no see."*He said to him causally, allowing the door to shut behind him to close off the cold air.*"Working on something new?"
Harold
"It has been some time hasn't it _he says in an excited strong tone_ I'm working on a set of bowls and some utensils, someone came in yesterday looking for some wooden bowls and spoons so they made an order and here I am now." _He continues on the bows and spoons, carving, scraping and chipping away. The air is filled to the brim with the smell of fresh pinewood, it's a little intense but slowly becomes more mild the longer they remain in the shop._ "Of course these bowls are for future customers that have the same request." _If you were to look around to the left back end of the shop you can now see a section of kitchen tools and cutlery. More than you would think to see when just working on it since yesterday but not an absurd amount._ "Is there something I can help you with?" _he states in a mild strong tone_
Danny
*Terrel glanced at the different bits of craftsmanship layered around the shop.*"Nice to see business is booming. I can see why. Definitely a master at your craft."*He complimented, finding it surprising himself how many orders seemed put in despite the harsh weather. Terrel returned his gaze back to Berdetak at his question, soon taking a slip of paper out his cloak to hold out to him. It seemed to be a list of different furnitures and whatnot.*"Been having a lot of houses worked on lately, so was mainly coming here for potential furniture to be added to them. You seem to have decent options as far as customizing works."
Harold
_He sets his tools down on the table after Finishing the bowls and spoons then takes them with him to display._ "Much appreciated! One would hope they're good at what they do after doing it their whole life." _He chuckles to himself and walks to the counter_ "Now what in particular are you looking for? Do you need me to work on the houses or do you just need me to decorate and or detail them?" _He asks in anticipation_ "I've been dying to have a challenge these days!"

"I'm not going to ask why you're having homes built I'm just glad you considered me for the job."
Danny
*Terrel followed him over to the counter, coming to lean on it slightly while distracting himself by the shop's workings. He could see the excitement the reptilian carried. It amused him to the point of letting out a quiet chuckle. Perhaps there was reason to hire him for more jobs than one.*"Detailing mainly. Same situation as last time in adding some furniture to these places. It's mainly for convenience, traveling and all. I wouldn't expect you to have to run all over the country for it though so I can return here to pick most things up."*He explained. The Silnari placed the note down on the counter.*"You can get a good general idea here, but you can be creative. I'd like to see what you could come up with."
Harold
_He very clearly skims over the note and quickly puts out his puppet like hand for him to shake_ "You've got yourself a carpenter! Honestly I was going to say yes regardless. I've been meaning to work on some new stuff but if you like anything here your more than welcome to perchase it." _He switches from over eccentric to professional very quickly._
Danny
*Terrel shakes his hand, saying:*"Would have to bring my draft horse next time I come around. He's better at hauling stuff. Was planning on simply getting here to get a quick order in and return whenever you think some of the stuff would be finished."*He explained before a thought came to mind.*"Of course, I have a quite a lot of other projects in the works, so I've have been traveling to get more hands on deck with it all. Business as usual I guess you can say, hm?"*He mentioned, looking the busied reptilian over behind the cover of his mask.*
Harold
"Other projects you say?" _He pulls his hand away and leans over the counter with his massive arms_ "Do tell! It's not like I need to go anywhere anytime soon." _He says with a smerk_ "Unless of course you need to leave yourself, I don't want to be the reason you're not getting things done." _The tone once again shifts from eccentric to professional quickly_ "Hindering a project is something I would prefer not to do." _He says in a mellow tone_
Danny
*That seemed to get him interested. Terrel could work with that.*"A pretty large project, might I say, though it would be a lot to ask you to travel all the way across Kadrush to get there."*He said in a tone that suggested otherwise.*"I have plenty of time to look for extra assistance, but you seem to have your hands full as it is. That is... Unless you were interested in taking on an extra task away from home."
Harold
"Large is good, fantastic in fact, how long would you need my services? _He honestly just seems thrilled with the idea of getting outside._ Travel is no issue, I have a few ways of maintaining my business from afar. _He states with pride_ What might this extra task be?"

"If you can't already tell I'm very easygoing when it comes to doing something. Especially if that thing requires my talents." _He states as he causes a flutter of snow to appear_
Danny
"Months realistically."*He said. In realizing that Berdetak was up for the task, Terrel decided to fill him in with some of the information.*"I have a business partner working on making his own town West of here. He's been needing extra assistance in getting structures built for it."*Terrel said, deciding to put his own friend's project idea before his own.*"I've been going around seeing who's available for the extra work with it being quite a lot to put together. I'm planning on meeting with the others next month in Kushtut."
Harold
"Eh a few months is nothing for how much I'll learn and who knows... Maybe I'll make more friends. *Clears throat* Nonetheless being part of something like making a town with my own two hands is a dream come true!" _The more Terrel speaks the more eager he becomes but suddenly he grabs Terrel's head aggressively_ "This won't get political will it??" _He squeezes tighter_ "Because I'm horrible in large crowds..." _The squeeze turns into rubbing the head like one would a pet_ "Your hair is quite the delight..." _Quickly stops after that and puts his hand away as if regretting the touching_ "Eheheh..." _Oops_
Danny
"Ack-."*Was all that escaped him as the beastkin suddenly grabbed his head. There was a part of him instinctively tempted to react to it in pushing him off, the other in figuring he was just overtly excited and this was simply what beastkins did. He wasn't sure, he wasn't one. As he eventually let go, the Silnari rubbed at his head to fix it up again.*"Uh, right..."*He said in mild confusion.*"I wouldn't worry about politics too much. We have a knack for avoiding them. As far as crowds go..."*He said, thinking about it. Terrel couldn't make a lot of promises, considering the work would require a lot of people.*"Well I'm sure there will be some space to go to avoid them. I don't care much for crowds either. Maybe if you ever need to distance yourself, you can help out in what I've been needing to work on."
Harold
"Sounds like a plan! When are we leaving?! I should gather my things! Maybe I need some tea to calm my nerve!! That's what I'll do, I'll get some tea! Want any?! Great I'll get you a mug!" _Trying to calm himself after rudely touching someone without asking he shouts, and walks off to get some tea, trying to pretend what just happened didn't, for his own sanity._

_One must keep in mind you're speaking to someone who has spent most of their life sheltered, shunned and hidden from the world because of what they were, and the fact they were very focused with their personal goals. It's not like he didn't know etiquette he just expresses emotions like one would if they were much younger. Although he's just barely into adulthood, at this point he can't take his youth back so he wants to make friends now, "The sooner the better" Most would say. At least he thinks that's the case. "Does Terrel think of me as a friend? One can only hope... I want to be useful... I want people to be around me... Just calm tf down Berdetak, it's not like this has been a dream of yours since you were 10 or anything. I'm lying that's exactly what it is..."_
Danny
"Oookay... I guess I'm staying for tea then."*He said as Berdetak had already rushed off. Terrel decided to lean against the wall for the time being. It had become obvious to him in Berdetak's excitement that there was still youth in him yet. That or every little thing seemed to make him energetic. He seemed to be a lot more now than Terrel remembered, but slow business can typically lead to a more calm mood. Hopefully he'd be the right pick for the job; winter was hard enough to deal with as is.*
Harold
_He soon returns with a pot of tea and pours Tarrel a cup._ "Forgive me, living out here in silence most days can make one a bit... Excessive when it comes to visitors. I sincerely apologize." _He bows and hands Tarrel their tea and pours himself a cup. The tone shifted back to how they first met. Cold, intimidating and calculated, like he was planning to do something to you._ "When should I or we leave? I can be ready in a few minutes, i usually go around town fixing things so getting my tools and such packed is easy enough." _hes back to his business mode again, this should make things more simple._

"It's not a matter of not wanting to be around people. As you can tell I revel in the presence of others. It's a matter of me getting too excited. I can't wait to meet new people, again I am extremely thankful for this opportunity." _Remaining calm and welcoming. The tea definitely helped, it's camomile and lavender. As if the smell of fresh cut wood wasn't calming enough._
Danny
*Terrel took the tea gingerly, wondering if he should be concerned if it being poisoned with the reptilian's constant change in mood. After hearing his explanation, Terrel slowly took a sip of it. At least the tea seemed to relax him a bit, the Reptilian more than the Silnari that is.*"Relax. It's just an opportunity to use the full extension of your crafting abilities."*He said as if for it to be pressuring despite the tone suggesting there was no pressure.*"I'm sure you'll meet plenty, going to need plenty to get this project going."*Terrel decided to find a place to sit down at, figuring he'd relax a bit just to finish his tea.*"Do you happen to have a mount? Would make traveling a lot faster."
Harold
"I have three horses, 10 chickens, 10 ducks, 8 pigs and a pond full of koi. I have a Younger lad come and care for them every day or so. They are as sweet as they are rambunctious. Now saying that aloud I now realize how ironic that sounds." _He somehow managed to say these things with a straight face. A little unnerving but nothing out of the ordinary for him._ "But yes I have a horse named Turm."
Danny
*It was a wonder how he wasn't a farmer with all these animals. Then again, Terrel couldn't talk.*"Good to hear. I'll be having to set out for other business affairs come next morning, so I'll be on the road again for a while before I can meet up with the rest to continue discussion on this project. Do you think you'll be able to make the trip to Kadrush's capital well enough on your own?"*He decided to ask him, figuring he could get two things done at once while he sends Berdetak on his way.*
Harold
"Sounds easy enough, bring on the challenge... I'm dying to meet it." _It's taking every fabric of his being to not jump in joy. Despite this he remains cold and states._ "If you need somewhere to stay for the night my home is open for guests. It was built to house around 10 people so the upstairs is like a mansion in and of itself." _He states in a prideful manner._ "But if we must leave immediately I will begin my "Solo" Journey within the next hour."
Danny
*He waved off the offer.*"I have plenty of places to rest at. It's why I came here originally about all the houses and need for furniture."*He said with a hearty laugh. Terrel placed the now empty cup back down.*"Fortunately for us, Kadrush is just a border away. It's traveling across it that may take some time, but you seem capable enough. Try to get there within the next month; I'll be visiting the local tavern with contracts I've been already having to work on."
Harold
_Berdetak takes the cup and puts it under the counter_ "I'll get things ready now then, should be able to make it through easy enough, my dad knows a kind fellow who runs one of the border patrols. Ows him for basically saving his home from collapsing in on itself." _He begins collecting his things as he ends his sentence._
Danny
*Terrel gave a dip of his head.*"I'll be seeing you there then."*He shifted his gaze over to the list he had placed down, coming to stand up and grab it back for the time being.*"I suppose I shall be taking this with you accepting the latter offer."*He said, returning it to the folds of his cloak and turning away to head off.*"Stay safe. A winter storm may be brewing."*Terrel opened the door soon after, taking his leave of the shop.*
Harold
_As this interesting interaction concludes Berdetak prepares himself for the journey, and tells the necessary people he will be gone for some time. His home will be maintained by his enchanted dolls Kacha and Jerami. His parents will be cared for by his brother. Hopefully the world ignores the difference of this shop without its carpenter. Within 30 minutes give or take Berdetak is off, and is now on his way to Kadrush. He prays with his parents as a farewell, to grant them and himself safety for the duration of this journey. He trusts his creations and his brother to take care of them while he's gone._
