Three-pup post -- men, outside, apart

Teja is sitting in front of the open forge door, scraping on something that is mostly pale and dusty at the moment. He's got a little table with knives and files and awls and little saws and the like, and lots of sandpaper, and some creamy-coloured rocks, as well as water and soft cloths and oils. For some reason, this work produces lots of soft ( Read more... )

"You've got dust all over you," remarks the man standing not too far off, dress sleeves rolled up and barefoot. It's still winter in New York City, so the spring is something to enjoy here.

"I know," Teja says, looking up. "Greetings, Charles Monroe. That is something which will happen when one works soapstone."

"Hi," he greets, crooked smile in place. "Soapstone, hm? That's in my kitchen," Charles notes idly, still watching him. "Countertops."

"Would it not scratch much, when you cut up your food on it?" Teja says. "Soapstone is very soft."

He is rubbing the piece in his hand with sandpaper, and another little cloud of dust rises.

Carlotta approaches Teja, silently, from over the top of the forge, quietly leaps off and lands just in front of him.

Teja looks at her, calm and quiet; but Count is so startled, he stands sideways, tail and back hair sticking straight out, and hisses.

"Is that how they taught you to fight?" Teja asks. "Greetings, Carlotta!"

"I don't fight, just sneak mostly." Carlotta says. "Hallo, your Highness."

She crouches and reaches a hand towards Count, to offer him a scritch when he's calmed down.

Count soon realises that the dangerous attacking dragon-from-above is actually just one of his most familiar and favourite humans, so he comes over for skritches.

"You snook very well," Teja says.

Demeter's also not wearing any shoes and grins when she spots Donovan,

"You look content."

Donovan turns.

When he sees Demeter, he smiles.

"I am," he says. "I finally got a door here again, and can take a break. And it's spring. And now you are here."

She kisses his cheek, "Yes, life is feeling possible."

born_to_it March 28 2011, 18:14:48 UTC

"Possible," he murmurs. "That's all you need -- a possibility."
