<div class="floatleft">(http://americablog.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/Kili-203x300.jpg)</div><strong>Who:</strong>Ayshia<br/><strong>Where:</strong>Center of the Crane Hearth<br/><strong>When:</strong>Late afternoon<br/><hr/><br/>When she offered, Valko looked at all the little things she had collected in her special box. He was so enthralled by the little things he didn't really notice her cheeks growing red or that she turned from him quickly. He especially liked the little wolf she set aside and looked it over carefully. He smiled at what she said about his sister though and replied, "I know she thinks of you in the same way. I've always loved these little carvings like this." When he looked back at her he noticed her face did look a little flushed but he thought maybe the tea had been a little too hot. He didn't think he'd said anything that would embarrass her.<br/><br/>He did watch with fascination when she so easily threaded the needle. That was something that always drove him batty trying to do and she made it look so easy. "I'm not really working on anything special these days. I've just been trying to make sure we have enough tools made for when Spring comes. You know, enough arrows, spears, and knives. Making sure everyone has enough needles and all those other little tools." he chuckled, "I definitely stay busy. Speaking of which - is there anything special you need made for the coming Spring?" He watched as she put each bead on the needle and slid it onto the braid, noting how it was usually the knot in the braid which prevented the bead from sliding on rather than the needle. He looked at her curiously and asked, "Why don't you dip the tip there in some glue instead of knotting it? That way it will hold the braid but you won't have to try and fit the beads over the knot. Then you can knot it when you are done."
