Ink was thoroughly enjoying all of this. Spending time with Thorn was proving to be a great way to spend the day. While the man spoke, Ink listened with interest. Sugar House? He'd heard little about the Sugar Woods, had barely gone that way before. Somehow, the word made sense though- a house stocked with sugar from the old days, maybe? Probably. Thorn passed him the joint and Ink took a puff from it, another, and then passed it back as he exhaled. Next came the paper and pencil. Ink looked at the nub and smirked- wouldn't last long. Luckily, he had quills and ink at his place, for a better copy of the list. So, he took up 'arms' and started writing things down as they came.
Piping. Lumber. Gears. Wheels. Bottles. He put down little notes for each one, why they were needed, how many, what kinds- some were left blank, of course, for he didn't know what to note about them. The mention of 'pretty' Saul stopped him from writing for a moment, a sly grin working its way onto his face as he looked pointedly at Thorn. "I wouldn't say Saul's pretty." He teased, testing the air about it.
"Regal, maybe. Handsome, if that's your kind of thing. But not pretty." He leaned forward and waved the pencil nub at him, lifting his eyebrows. "A lady can be pretty. A cat or a horse could be pretty." He continued. "But somehow, I don't see our lovely leader as being the 'pretty' type." The grin Ink wore couldn't have been possible for him, had he not been smoking. The corners of his eyes were crinkled with how toothy his expression had become, the thoughts revolving around the brewery now fading from his mind. "Does Thorny have a horny for our Virding?" Oooooo, cheesy teasing deployed!
