Mardís laughs easily. "A lot, but nothing of the kind that you do, from what my husband tells me." She steps over to one of the tables and clear it, enough at least for Killian to set down his box there and still have space left to spread out his samples.

In the meanwhile, Thorir takes Killian to one end of the room and opens the door, letting him have a brief look into the storage room - materials and some completed projects - and then to the other end where a door leads into a staircase. On the other side, still on the ground floor, is an odd room - wooden ceiling, a separate ladder going up to the floor above. It's a tea kitchen type of room, and there is a bathroom with shower attached to it. Thorir points to the ladder. "A guest room is up there. This used to be the main entrance of the smithy, back when we still took care of horses and such. When we closed it off, we decided to keep some of the structure. I assume my grandfather loathed to fully lose it, and then my father would not go against his wishes.

When working, this is where you can have meals and use the bathroom."
