Hey people, Foggy here. I got a couple of those boxes that seem to happen to people and while it's addressed to me, I get the feeling that it's meant for the collective. I've got a bunch of woodworking tools here, including chisels, files, a saw and a hand drill with drill bits.

I'm taking this a hint that they approved of my amateur forays into carpentry and want that to continue, but I want to make sure everyone knows they're welcome to use them. For now, I'm keeping everything at the South Inn, but maybe we can set up one of the houses, or the mill as a workshop at some point.

Even had an idea for making paper from the sawdust and shavings. That's probably going to need experimentation though.

South Village Inn

True to his word, Foggy has set up in the large front room. He's moved a table to a far corner and he's set out the tools, checking them over to see if they're all fine. He does know all these tools, he did high school wood working, but it's been a while.

A long while.

But the main reason for sitting here is so that it's apparent he is here, and the tools are here, and they can work something out for making useful things and teaching people to make useful things.

That would be how Matt would do it, yes. It would come out a little uneven without measurements and moulds and the expertise but that's part of making things by hand, isn't it?

"She uh... she sounds interesting." Matt's got one of his unassuming smiles on but somehow it probably still looks a little bit like he might be implying something else to Foggy. Maybe it's the way he said 'interesting'.

Foggy gives Matt a long look for a moment, trying to assess that inflection and then deciding to ignore it. "She's become a really good friend."

There's things he won't say. About both of them bonding over their human garbage fires who hurt them. About New Year's Eve and a lot of booze and a private room. About the fact that she's a pretty blonde with a razor sharp mind and Foggy... has a type.

"Okay. I'm going to work on finding something we can cut up and then file into shape and we can work on that together. Be good experience for both of us."

If Matt has his senses he might have pushed, but right now he can't read into the non-response. No doubt he can make guesses, but he lets the topic go.

"Alright." He turns his hands up and waits patiently to be given something to do with some instructions, whenever Foggy's ready.
