He was a nervous lad, quiet and soft spoken. I felt guilty for intruding upon his space in my focus on the task at hand - but what was done was done, and he seemed willing enough to engage in conversation with me.
"Oh, cool," I nod as he explains his profession, recalling his aid with building the healer's college and his proficiency with most tasks he was given. As I continued to gather up pages, I had an idea. "You wouldn't have a need for some luxere skins, would you? It's been cured and tanned already." Though I love luxere and haven't eaten their meat often, they were a key to the survival of the people in these harsh conditions. Which meant, they were slaughtered, and I knew how to slaughter animals humanely, though it pained me every time. For those who managed to keep luxere on their property alive until they needed the meat, I offered my services, and in exchange, I received the soft luxere pelt, which could be fashioned into leather, among other things.
"I ask because I have an idea for a gift for someone, but no clue how I would make it. Maybe you could help?" I pause my paper-gathering to offer him a polite, enquiring smile, hoping I don't cause him too much discomfort with my pursuit of further conversation.
