Nathan was surprised that she hurried away into the house like she did. He was unsure what to do now. He wanted to make sure that she was sorted out. He decided to stay. He'd help her get back as well. He turned around and lean against the small fence, away from the building. He took out current whittling project. he was learning to carve from his dad. If he got good enough, he could sell them. This one was a simple start: a horse. It was almost done and he was proud of it. Once it was done, his mother could paint it.<br/><br/>It had quite the little pile of wood shavings when Sil came back out of the horse. He looked at her when he heard the door close. He smiled at her. He pocketed both his small knife and the horse. he opened the gate for her as she approached.<br/><br/>"All done? I can walk you back if you like."
