Karos inspected the axe carefully, touching the blade with his dark emerald fingers and listening as he ran his hand down the edge of the blade. “Hmm.. She sounds okay. Come on boy, lets give her a few swings.” Karos said, hefting the axe easily in one hand and balancing it over his shoulder as he guided them out to the front of the shop. Compared to the heat of the shop within, it was downright cool outside as they walked out into the sun and Karos gave the axe a few practice overhead swings. He flipped the weapon over in his hand a few times then gave it a quick spin before catching it.
“Not bad for your first attempt. You might even do well here if you keep your head down and pay attention. Alright, I’ll give you the job on the condition that you do whatever me and Lawrence tell you to do, and don’t make us fall behind on any of our orders.” Karos said simply, slapping the axe into Karos’ hands as he fixed him with a stare. “For your first task, how about you get us some beer to celebrate.” The isur chuckled, slapping Wrenlo on the arm as he passed him to walk into the shop. When Wrenlo turned around it was not Karos there but Lawrence standing in the doorway, polishing the end of a small hammer in his hands.
“Don’t take it personally. Karos isn’t a man of many words but his thirst is mighty so I’m afraid he’s quite serious about the beer.” Lawrence chuckled. “Well start you in at an apprentices wages until you show us what you are capable of. If you’ve got the mettle to handle orders without falling behind, I can make sure that you are well rewarded no matter what Karos might say. So see that you don’t disappoint either of us Wrenlo. Also, welcome aboard.”
Lawrence then turned to go back into the shop but then paused just outside of it before he stepped inside. “Oh, and don’t worry about using Karos’ tools. We’ll get you a set of your own here soon that you can place wherever you like.” Then he disappeared into the shop, leaving the door open for Wrenlo.
oocI figure we’re about ready to wrap this thread up. If you want, you can get in one more post with Wrenlo and then I’ll go ahead and grade the thread for you. I had a lot of fun with this thread, and I hope you did as well.
