"That's very good. Now what kind of wood would you like?"
"The Imperial need for control is so desperate because it is so unnatural. Tyranny requires constant effort. It breaks, it leaks. Authority is brittle. Oppression is the mask of fear. Remember that." -Karis Nemik

He dipped his head. "Alright, then. Same size, too?"

"That makes my job easy, then." He smiled. "I'll have the design more thoroughly worked in a few days, then I can start work on that. The other heartbox, you can take now."

Tasia grabbed for it, but Tadaaki stopped her. “Ah-ah!” He picked it up and held it out of her reach. “Be gentle.” He glanced at the box then Ky. “You’re sure?”

She nodded.

He did as well, then glanced back at Sven. “Thank you. Your craftsmanship is beautiful.”

Sven dipped his head modestly. "I've been doing this my whole life; I appreciate that--it's nice to have new customers every now and again."

Tadaaki offered a gentle smile and nod and turned for the door. Aashi looked at Sven. “Thank you again. Our family is very blessed to have your handiwork in it.” She nodded to him and also stepped towards the door, ushering Tasia long ahead of her.

Ky lingered by the counter.

Sven nodded to them, then turned to Ky. "That was very kind of you."

“Oh, uh…” she blushed and shrugged, glancing away. She hadn’t expected him to say that. “It’s… yeah. Um… thanks. For going along with it?” She glanced back at him. “Sara said she’ll cover whatever I can’t. So…” she nodded. “We’ve got it covered.”

He dipped his head. "The pre-made heartbox is just a hundred. The custom will be significantly more expensive....she's going for a lot of elements."

(I cleaned and buzzed my hair tonight both of which for the first time in forever and I’m feeling hella fresh tonight. It’s unrelated to anything but I’m happy lol)

“Yeah…” Ky shook her head with a little smile. “You can… use your best judgment with that. Tasia has a thousand ideas a minute and then forgets them all. As long as it involves a frog and looks similar to the other box it’s golden.”

(That's great!!!)

"I've got kids of my own--grown now, but they were the same way." He chuckled. "I'll get it done right, don't you worry."

“I’m have no doubt.” Ky smiled. “Thank you.”

(Yeah but now it’s 40 fucking degrees and I’m freezing to death because my insulation is gone haha)

(Hat??
I do know the feeling though; I decided to get my first super short haircut when it was winter in Ohio)

He nodded to her. "Is there anything else I can help you with?"
