...Hm?
Yes...I feel it. I feel it! This high-quality walnut lumber, it is your handiwork, is it not?
Dense, durable, and expertly finished. There is no doubting your skill, Forename.
Walnut furniture was once quite popular in Ul'dah...mayhap we could revive that tradition...
Or, better yet, produce a sturdier base for a new vamplate design...
The possibilities are endless! Thanks to you, Forename, it seems I am now paralyzed with indecision.
How you have grown, and in so short a time. You remind me of a dear friend, another soul possessed of great passion. Though we walked different paths, we pushed each other to give nothing less than our utmost.
He even helped me through those times when inspiration failed me. I see much of him in you─and so I know I can hold you to the same high standards. Return to your work,
Forename...and do not disappoint me.
