The way to the back is not long, and Mardís will fill it with pointing a few things out - certain people working there, where the restrooms are, and so on.
They enter a corridor through a door that announces "staff only" and then after a few metres step out into a small courtyard, oddly in contrast with the large, modern store in the front. A huge water basin is in a corner, but there is also a pair of swings and a sandbox, and grass and greens. To one side, the store continues, but on the other two sides, a two-story house closes the yard off. The little group heads towards it, and Thorir pushes the door open. "Inger and her family live on the second floor here, but here..." He steps inside and holds the door open for the others. He makes no grand gesture, but he's clearly proud and happy about this place. "is what we call the smithy. It used to be my grandfather's, and it was a bit of a quest of mine to rebuild it when I took the business over from my father."
They stand in a large room with two anvils, a couple of sturdy wooden tables, though some have stone surfaces, a good variety of tools for metal-leather and other works, and a couple of more or less finished projects on the tables or in stands at the sides of the room. Swords and ornaments, but also saddles and shoes, plates and jackets, and much more - it really is a great variety of items that the two Icelanders make.
