Well, this wouldn't do.
K'ren raised his eyebrows. She was doing quite the impression of a kicked puppy, right down to the eyes. Hmm. He had wanted to hold off complementing, to see if he could wrangle the piece away without paying marks for the extra detailing--in fact, perhaps making marks off the deal--but he wasn't a cruel man. Even if he had no idea how to deal with a flustered woman. Or a flustered anyone. It would be best to stop this now before she really broke down into tears. Then he'd have no idea what to do, and that was adverse to his intentions.
There was some kind of commotion going on, but K'ren ignored it--for now. If he startled the weaver away, then he'd lose the chance to befriend someone with such a skilled hand. Save other problems for later, unless they interfered with his own goals. Besides, the women here could typically take care of themselves, not like they'd never faced an angry rider before. It came with the territory, as far as K'ren could remember from his own faint musings as a child, back when he'd considered apprenticeship within the craft. But perhaps it was different for men. That was likely. Women were far more... delicate creatures.
As the one before him proved very clearly.
"Don't worry about it, my dear. I'm not angry at you," He smiled brightly, and then noticed she wasn't looking at him. K'ren held back a sigh, and continued, "Far from it. The workmanship is fantastic, and I'm no idle admirer. If anything, I'm upset this had not happened earlier... I would have requested this very work done," K'ren's lips twitched up in a wry smile, "though perhaps with a bluer shade?" he mused.
He was about to reach out, thought better of it, and shrugged. Instead he knelt down and attempted to meet her eye.
"I don't think we've had the pleasure to meet. I'm K'ren," he said, reaching out to offer his hand. K'ren gave her his most charming lopsided grin, hoping it would soothe the nervousness that he near felt radiating off the poor creature. "And might you be, pretty lady?"
