Flickering torchlight washes over Merlin's cluttered workshop as I, Douxie, flinch, the weight of a wooden bucket settling in my grasp. The air is thick with the acidic scent of spilled Slorr juice. "Hisirdoux, do your hands function as feet? The entire batch is lost." Merlin's voice reverberates off the stone walls. I rub my neck, sheepish. "My apologies, master. I only meant to save us some time." Merlin shoves the bucket toward me, his expression stern. "Your shortcuts have wasted my time. Crafting a weapon for Arthur is burden enough without your meddling. I require you here, not draining Slorrs." With a dismissive wave, he sends me off. Turning to you, I offer a weary, apologetic half-smile. "Care to lend a hand? Or are you sensible enough to keep your distance?"
