Warmest place in winter
((This is an open post intended for anybody who'd like to play a thread visiting Connor at his forge. I consider any threads on this post fair game for Kai to jump in on, too. Additional similar posts available on request!))
The smithy, Connor's pride and joy, is technically a refurbished shed a little ways out from the back of the house he shares with Kairos. What started as an ivy covered, mostly stone building has since had most of one wall removed and replaced with a set of barn doors, with a sturdy support beam between them. It makes the place drafty and cold in winter, when it's not in use, but once the big forge has been going for an hour or two, it can get hot enough that the open doors let in a welcome breeze.
He has the doors open now, and the open side of the building faces the huge garden plot that takes up much of the back yard. It's covered with snow, now, cross-crossed with doggy pawprints of two different sizes. There's a semicircle of ground before the open doors that's free of snow, although it may be muddy in places. Frequent opening and closing of the doors combined with the heat of the place have melted it away. The sound of hammer on anvil rings out across the yard, and Sorcha is rolling at the edge of the snow with a big stick dragged from the nearby woodsy patch. It's a peaceful scene.

"Heheh, anytime. I'm not really busy, you know. But Kai might want to be in on this." Not the sparring part, mind you, but she could watch and she'd want Regina to be a part of the doggy play.

"But, yes, absolutely, Kai should come, with Regina. We could ask Jelani, too."

It's not that he doesn't like all these people, Kai and Jelani and Balthazar, and his unknown friend, but all of them at once is a lot.

"What do you want for a housewarming gift?" The sword rack was an easy pick for Jelani's new home, but Balthazar he's less sure of.
