While he knew he was still sick he wanted to ask his mother to bring him a bigger piece of wood so that he could get to work on perfecting his skills. Since he now knew what he wanted to be he needed to get to work on it. Everyone else already had a head start on their thing so he needed to catch up. “Mom?” He called out before coughing a little and then sniffing through his stuffy nose.

She was busy in the kitchen cutting up a few of the vegetables for dinner when she heard her son call out for her. She turned her head instantly, knife paused in mid air, to make sure he was alright. When she didn’t see anything wrong she turned back to her work so that she could lay the knife down without risk of cutting herself. Once that was done she looked back at him and smiled. “What is it? You’re still grounded so don’t ask.”

He shook his head at her, he already knew he wasn’t getting away with ending his grounding sentence early. When he had her full attention he pulled at the hem of his shirt with one hand. “I uh.. I was wondering if I could have a bigger piece of wood?” The poor boy had to speak in a nasally way since his nose was clogged up.

“Hm, what for?” SHe brought her hands to her hips as she waited for him to answer, though she hadn’t missed that he was speaking slightly off. Her mother instinct told her that his nose was bothering him so she moved over to the side of the kitchen and reached for a small salve that had a bit of mint mixed in with it. The mint was strong though so it should help with his nose.

He watched her and felt a bit silly for it all. “Well.. I uh.. I’d like to try making something out of it.” When he saw his mother moving to the side of the kitchen he tilted his head slightly to the side. What was she after? While he watched he let go of his shirt so that he could use his hands to animate what he said. “I want to try making a small wooden jewelry box.” That would be the easiest thing to make first, right?

“Oh yeah?” She looked at him for a second, debating if he was serious or not. Either way she made her way over to him and opened the salve so that she could apply a little to the tip of his nose. It made it shiny and looked a little silly but it would help. “What brought this on?” She was curious to know why he all of a sudden wanted to make jewelry boxes.

He scrunched his nose and shook his head as he tried to avoid the salve being put on his nose. However she managed to get him. “I just want to get good at making things.” He tried to explain. “I want to make the fancy furniture you see at the store. That way I can make some for you and Aunt Sylv.” And so he could sell it for top dollar.

She put the lid back on the salve and eyed him as he told her why he wanted to make things. She smiled at him and then gave a nod of her head. “Alright, the next time I’m out I’ll pick up a bigger piece so you can make a jewelry box.” She reached out with one hand and ruffled his hair a bit. “Maybe if it’s good enough we can convince your dad to sell it for you.”

He reached up to swat at her hand but at the same time gave a few coughs. When she mentioned asking his dad to sell the box once it was made he smiled widely. “Do you really think he would?” It would be neat if he could sell it. Though he might need to make two now. Since he intended the first one to be for his mother. Perhaps he should ask for two big pieces of wood.

She lifted a brow at his coughing. “I think you might be ready for more medicine.” SHe turned to return the salve back on the shelf but when he asked about whether or not Ergon would sell something he made she looked over her shoulder at him. “I don’t see why not.” Once the salve was put up she moved over to get his medicine ready.

At the mention of more medicine he gave a face. “Do I have to?” He really didn’t want any more of it. “It doesn’t taste the greatest.” It always left a weird taste in his mouth. Still he moved over to get closer to her so that she wouldn’t have to cross the whole of the kitchen to get to him. “What would you say is good decoration for a jewelry box?” He was curious as to what his mother liked on fancy stuff.

“Yes.” She wasn’t going to argue over whether or not her son took the medicine that he needed to feel better. When he got closer to her she gave him an appreciative smile. “It’s not meant to taste good.” Truly she was sure that healers made it taste gross on purpose some times. As he asked her what she thought would look nice on a jewelry box she shrugged her shoulders. “Dunno, maybe some nice snowflakes? Make them all pretty and unique.”

He made another face but didn’t protest anymore. Instead his attention was taken up by her idea. Snowflakes would fit with where they loved. But if he wanted his fancy furniture to make it to other territories then he needed to know other things for their areas. “Does dad have any picture books about Sauti at the store?” He could always get ideas from that right?

“Hm, you are asking about all kinds of new things today.” She eyed him a bit. “Maybe you should be grounded more often.” If it made him more curious and willing to expand his knowledge she might do it every so often. “And yes, I believe he does.” She turned her attention to the medicine she was mixing to be sure she got it right.

“No. No. I don’t want to be grounded again.” He shook his head quickly, irritating his nose so that he coughed again. “I don’t want to be stuck in my room.” While he did like his room, as he’d picked the color and everything, he would like to leave it every so often. He moved over to lean against the counter. “Could you ask him if I can have one?”
