They were surprised to hear the encouragement. They'd generally been told "NO!" and told to do it over again before. So they withdrew their staff, murmured, "Shoulder width," again to remind themselves and bounced a little on their toes, a reminder to keep on them, lest their honorable guild master decide to make the earth dance again. "Okay. I'm ready." I think.
