"Me and my wife have a side business of crafting various goods. It started out with a simple smithy, but as business evolved, mostly leather, but also semi-precious stones and other natural additions became involved. A lot of it is for reenactment and related purposes these days, but it's still quite varied. We're looking into expanding, but" he nods towards the bracelet "this is something that neither I nor Mardís specialize in.
If you really did this, and are looking to make something of your talent instead of wasting it in a stable, you should come over to the smithy and work alongside us one day." So he can see the place, talk to people, and Thorir and Mardís can see how he does - also so they can see if they'd be able to work together. If they get along. If it was for the main business, he would never propose such an informal route, but... But. But normally he doesn't just recruit strangers in the park, either. Sure, this is some really skilled craftwork and they need someone who could do that, but at the same time... and so young. But somehow, he feels responsible for this young man. "We're only in the smithy roughly half the week, so it wouldn't take you fully away from them; but open up a path."
