He paused in his shovelwork to tilt his head at her in curiosity when he heard that their fathers shared a vocation, and he silently invited her to continue as he finished replacing some of the dirt. He was pleased to learn more, nodding slowly as he straightened to rest the tip of the shovel on the ground beside him.
