Ten Knives

[Clove is kneeling in front of the castle, tapping away at the stone with a chisel. There's no telling how long she's been doing this.

Go ahead, ask her what she's doing. You know you want to]

Think you could help lift the frame of a wall?

[prettyknives]

I could. [but that doesn't mean she will]

[not_like_the_rest]

[standing up again, Johanna uses the top of cloves head for leverage as she does, ruffling Clove's hair after she's up.]

You're invited to help. I'm getting a bunch of people together soon.

[prettyknives]

[what is with people inviting her to things lately?] For a party?

[not_like_the_rest]

If hard labor and free food is a party, then sure. [What? She's just being honest.] Invite anyone else who can lift a frame too. I'd rather get them up fast.

[prettyknives]

What are you building?

[not_like_the_rest]

A little cabin. Nothing special. Surprised you haven't run into it. I have the foundation made.

[prettyknives]

Whatever keeps you busy.

[not_like_the_rest]

[Johanna nods.]

I'll tell you when I find enough people to make it worth the trouble.

[prettyknives]

Okay.

[not_like_the_rest]

Later. [She nods before heading off.]
