“You are a farmer, one who works with growing things?” the elf asked.
“I'm...well yes,” he responded, blushing. “I'm a gardener. It's a farmer o' sorts.”
“You feel happiest when working with your hands in the soil?”

“We have fields here, hidden in the folds of the cliffs. It's harvest time. Would you be interested in taking up a scythe along with us?”
