[ During the lull, Cullen makes a prediction. She's either going to come back and complain about how difficult the horse is to deal with, or she will come back to share an endearing moment and tell him the animal's name. If it is still just the horse, she's not attached, and he can get her an animal a little better suited to her. If she's named it, she's keeping it, and he'll have to get it and her trained up quickly so she doesn't get hurt. ]

When should we put Gawain through his paces?

Is tomorrow morning fine? I have to try negotiating for a better pair of chairs this afternoon.

I have to work on the pub. Trying to make it comfortable is now my biggest focus and the furniture makers are being utter dicks.

About chairs.

I don't want to stress the horse out by being stressed. That's not good for either one of us.

Tomorrow will be fine.

Let me know if you need me to come stand threateningly behind you and glower.

I may need to take you up on that. There is only so much I can handle.

I strongly suspect Thistle got me Gawain because I'm starting to get tension headaches doing the set up. Having to handle a horse requires I step back and breath. I actually feel better even though I know this is additional work.

Hm. I think I may have to actually get help. To finish some details. There are people who owe me favors. For the rest of it I'm not above bribery.

(Do you suppose anyone knows how to paint chairs? )

Having a horse also guarantees more headaches. Thistle might be a little sadistic.

Don't you just get paint and a brush and paint the chairs? Is painting chairs different than painting walls?

C. Rutherford

So she might be a bit mean. Hmmph.

Although I admit the fact she has been feeding me tea to soothe my headaches has been welcome. I think. I will feel like this until the end of this set up.

I need to apply a finish that helps make cleaning up beer spilled easy. Beer if not cleaned up right can get sticky due to the hops. I am making my life simpler by going over everything again right now.

Maybe I should just try making nice with the furniture man.

Is that a euphemism? You'll get no judgement from me if it is, I just want to make sure we find ourselves on the same page.

As for cleaning up spills, what about the paint they use on the boats in the harbour? If it can stand up to the ocean, it must be able to stand up to a spill or two.

C. Rutherford

[breweredonthebridge]

What?

Oh. No. I just find that I end up having to use nicer wording with people especially when angry.

That is the exact kind of paint I need. It will do the job. Especially since it dries fairly quickly I think? I just know I need to invest in anything that makes upkeep easier. I do not wish to faint from over stressing myself. Unlikely but I would rather keep things simpler and easier.

Thank you.

You are welcome.

If it's a question of time, I have plenty to spare and I know which end of the brush to hold. I don't believe one needs to know much more than that in order to paint a chair.

See, now I am tempted to bribe people with beer to help me finish things. There is this other gentleman who is close to your height? He offered to help me make fixtures for the pub. His father was a blacksmith.

Painting is not that hard. It just takes time and smells bloody awful.

[lionheartedman]

You have a serious obsession with my height. I might end up with a complex.

Things being boring, taking time, and smelling terrible are not huge deterrents for me.

C. Rutherford

[ About a minute passes. ]

That last bit didn't come out right. I just meant that things that are unpleasant still have to get done. I don't know much about setting up a pub, but I know I can move a brush back and forth.
