Once the headache had settled to a much more tolerable gentle throb S'far gave his weyrwoman a quick grin before carrying the low coffee table in through the door. He set it down roughly in front of the couch where he thought it would serve best, but off by a foot or so to give Mulrissa the opportunity to adjust it as she saw fit (even if it was to the same position he thought it should be he didn't want to impose too much upon her space).
He was ready to just make polite small talk, really he was, but he couldn't resist the opportunity to just talk about the table especially when she called it delightful. "Well! I suppose this one really started when I was out camping with Urudith at one of our usual spots. There was a good tall tree that had fallen in a recent storm and I couldn't help but take the straightest bit of trunk back to a mill to get split into planks."
S'far went on from there, pointing at certain boards in the table and commenting on how much he'd liked the figure but he wanted something with a bit clearer grain so he'd traded some of it for wood that he used in the other panels he gestured to. He soared her the origin story if the legs but did go into even further detail about his joinery, the dovetails he used to connect things all neatly hidden on the underside.
"Oh! And speaking of hidden, if you lift this little bit back here," he gently took Mulrissa's hand to feel the little toggle on the underside of the table, "you can open this side to reveal a drawer. You can keep papers in there. Or maybe a knife. You never know when you want a good knife no one else knows about." S'far proudly puffed up a bit at that. He was especially proud of his little drawer and how neatly and easily it slid into place. "Oh and I thought you could use a nice little coffee table in general for when you entertain our guests."
