Are
Pleased was too much. Content better described the cobbler's state of mind after he took a look around the barn at what had been accomplished. Enough had been done to put his own hovel to shame, although it couldn't be denied he appreciated practicality over pretty things, as evident by his own handiwork on the door.
Are unsheathed his own little whittling knife and carved his own name from memory, "ᛅᛦᛁ", as fine as he could in contrast to the crooked letters next to his name. The cobbler cracked up and smiled at Killian and Emmett both. "You're a good lad." he said to Emmett, but still glancing at Killian. "I'm glad we could help! Just make sure you remember it if you ever need any cobbling done, wouldn't hurt with a little extra something." another laugh and a wink, asking for fair pay was hard, especially from people you'd grown fond of, but Are was past charity. Honest pay for honest work, and he had a sneaking suspicion he'd see Emmett sooner or later. No shoe lasted forever.
