At least A'tay wasn't panicking too much, though Caz still couldn't help but feel sorry for the awkwardness Mal was putting him through. She tried to give him an apologetic smile, but there wasn't too much more she could, or rather wanted to do. It seemed safer to just stick with some minor discomfort than deal with any potential tantrums while eggs were on the sands. Malvayth was certainly getting better about some of her tantrums, but it still wasn't worth the rirsk yet. She could still easily get into a petulant screaming match, especially considering how upset she'd gotten about the horse riding incident.
"Box patterns? That sounds interesting! I sometimes do a little bit of carving on leather for my tooling, but I imagine that's much easier than working with wood. You just have to be able to account for the flex and stretch of the material. Are you trying for any particular sort of pattern or just experimenting?" Cazan couldn't help but try and lean a bit closer to get a better luck. She knew some craftsmen never took notes or made drafts or sketches of their plans and could still create some wonderful things, but she personally enjoyed the meticulous sort of planning she went into with her sketches and scribbled notes, and carefully planned patterns.
Malvayth peered at the box as A'tay showed it to her and gave a delighted little trill.I like it! You could put plants in it! She peered at the box a little more closely and added, Small ones! Cazan smiled, Malvayth really did know that decorations weren't always literal, but she couldn't help but draw conclusions like that sometimes. "It is very nice. I like your progress so far. Did you plan it out on paper first or just the sketch that you have on the wood? I bet I could get some boxes from S'far for you, he probably has a lot of smaller bits of wood from all of the furniture he makes."
As much as Malvayth wanted to listen and snoop, but boxes reminded her of eggs ever since she'd heard that one fancy riddle. So she turned her attention to those, gently fussing over them as she rearranged and moved them and told them quiet stories about boxes and furniture and friends. After waiting a few minutes to make sure her dragon was well and truly distracted, Cazan eyed A'tay and grinned. "You knew this moment would come... I'll need you to stand up and spread your legs."
She pulled out her measuring take with a flourish, smirking as she eyed the blonde man. "Sitting on the Sands always makes me think of work, so let's get your measurements and figure out what to make."Baaaaabiiiiiees. Cazan froze for a moment before it became obvious that Mal was just singing to the eggs and still not paying attention.
