We took the road less traveled by

He had taken the time to find books that related to the project they were taking on. Tal stood and stretched from his perch on the porch, from the rug he'd sat on to leaf through the books. He wished he knew what the tools were the book spoke of, the saws and rotors and sanders. But it didn't matter. He was gleaning the basic knowledge he needed from them, which was how to work with wood.

He'd never worked with wood before, only words and paper and herbs at times. This was going to be exciting, a learning experience for him. He left a note for Liam, letting him know where he would be, then set off at a good clip, a spring in his step. He wore a pair of carpenter pants with pockets in them. He'd acquired a hammer and a saw, and he carried these now, the hammer hanging from a loop on the jeans, the saw dangling from his fingers. He grinned at Evelyn and Bangle, setting the saw down. He was sure Sky would be here shortly. He glanced at the horse, approaching it slowly, a dried apple coming out of a pocket.

As the horse ate the apple, he stroked its muzzle. "Wouldn't mind getting me a horse sometime. Still don't know much about them, but they seem friendly enough." He grinned crookedly at Bangle, at ease with everyone.
