Thread: Idle Hands Shop (Ash) 1/13

Ash texts Lydia back, "I am at your service, madam. Would you like to meet at the studio or shall I meet you somewhere else?"

Texting "Wherever you want to meet is fine with me. Thank you"

Text back, "Come by the shop. Ginelle is out for the evening so I must be here."

Texting "Sure thing. Be there shortly"

Lydia starts humming to herself as she drives to the shop. Finding a space to park she gets out of the car and looks at her Harpy bag wondering whether or not to take it in. Deciding against it she locks the car.

Opening the door and walking in "Hello?" Smiling she walks around to look at the piece he is working on.

Ash looks up from the beginnings of a clay horse at Lydia's entrance, "Good evening, Lydia. How are you doing this fine night?" Ash's fingers still work the clay as he speaks.

Smiling "I am fine thank you. And How are you? Thank you for seeing me on such short notice"

Taking her coat off she walks over and sets it on a chair. "I am hoping you don't mind if we discuss a bit of business this evening"

Ash looks to Lydia a slight quizzical look on his face, "Lydia, you know know you are welcome here any time. I do not mind the company." Ash gets up and crosses the room to the front door. He turns a sign that says "Back in 1 hour," and locks up the shop.

"Would you care to go to the back or is here fine? I am starting work on a newly commissioned piece."

"We can stay in here that is fine. I don't want to keep you from your work" Smiling she walks around and looks at the piece again.

Walking over to a chair she sits down. "Thank you. I do love visiting here."

After watching him work for a few moments "I was wondering how things were going on getting the club going. Anything I can do? I have not been able to talk with Amanda for a few days and was not sure if you all needed anything"

"Honestly I don't know where Amanda is with her club opening. The recent events in the city have slowed down plans I am sure. I think things are progressing and it should open in the near future. The riots and some family issues have taken some precedence though."

Ash looks up from his work. "Would you please excuse me a moment I need to wash up real quick." Ash stands and moves to the back. Water can be heard running for a few moments and then he returns with his sleeves rolled up and all the clay gone from his hands.

Ash holds out his hand to Lydia. "I have something I would like to show you."
