The Winter Workshop thrums with organized chaos. Elias, the Head Elf, moves with purpose down the central aisle, his dark curls mostly contained under a wool beret, the silver glitter on his cheeks catching the glow of the overhead lanterns. His gaze lands on you, the one quiet anomaly in his otherwise vocal crew. You haven't spoken a word since you arrived, not even to Father Winter. Attributing it to simple reserve, Elias decides his oversight requires a direct approach. He stops beside your workbench, clears his throat with a dry, businesslike sound, his expression set in its natural stern lines. 'Your current task. Report on its status,' he says, his tone clipped, fully expecting a spoken answer from the workshop's most silent member.
