[Daisy moves to stand next to him, watching how easily he moves the knife.]

You make it look so easy. I’d probably end up slicing my finger off.

[drawsblood]

That's a risk. Mine are scarred up enough that I wouldn't care if I cut myself.

[ A whole finger is unlikely to come off in his case. He sets the knife down on his thigh and reaches for her hand, curling fingers around her own and lifting her knuckles to his lips to kiss. ]

Though I suppose you could always wear a heavy glove.

[morethan084]

I would care.

[Smiling when he lifts her hand to kiss it, Daisy turns their hands over to kiss his hand.]

Wouldn’t that make it really hard to use the knife?

[drawsblood]

[ His answering smile is warm at what she says. He'll miss having someone care about him like this. But then again, when he returns to his village maybe he can rekindle friendships. ]

I meant wear the glove on the hand holding the wood. That's the one in danger of being cut if the knife slips.

[morethan084]

Oh. That makes more sense.

[Daisy admits with a laugh, letting go of his hand after a moment.]

Maybe I'm better off watching you work for now.

[drawsblood]

If you'd prefer.

[ He keeps at it, speeding up a bit from what he's just shown her. It's easy for him to get into the rhythm and know what he needs to do next. ]

While we were with the sky pirates and we docked on land I saw many great displays of woodcarving everywhere. I spoke to some people about it and was given advice. I think I've improved since then.

[morethan084]

Well I wouldn't want to mess up what you've already made.

[Taking a seat back on the bed, Daisy smiles when he explains how he talked to some expert woodcarvers.]

How many have you made since then?

[drawsblood]

Oh, I've-

[ There's a pause and a faraway look comes to his eyes before his brow creases. ]

I've lost count now. I made some ornaments for the Christmas tree and after that I can't remember the total.

[morethan084]

I remember seeing those. They looked amazing.

[Daisy compliments, finding his enjoyment of this hobby endearing.]

I'm going to go grab a coffee. Do you want anything?

[drawsblood]

[ There's a brief smile that's almost boyish on hearing his work looked good. ]

No. I have food here.

[ He always has food stashed away. ]
