More wood comes in for the She - Shed.

chichier!

As this is where Tove will be recording, some are referring to it as the 'She-Show-Shed'

and some, went ahead and are dubbing it the 'She-Shed-Show-stuido-

She-shed-show-shack?

Tove sighs as the puns fly "I'm glad everyone is having fun"

"Sure!"

She smiles a bit at that, "Fine. I brought chicken fritters... spicy ones on the left. "

"Mmm." Approval.

Jaymes grunts and reaches for one on the right.

"Knock knock!" Calls a cheerful voice from nearby - since there is not yet a door on the She-Shed to knock upon. "What's all this hub-bub about? I'd ask if it was a barn raising, but you already have one."

"Oh, Piper! I have something for you..second" She sets the tray down.

"Hey Piper." A smile.

She sniffs the air. "Is it whatever is on the tray? Something smells good. Or is that just for workers? Because if so, got an extra hammer handy? Dagmar, hiya!" A wave.

"Ha, help yourself, Piper.. ones on the left are spicy" And Tove goes inside briefly

Jaymes nods a greeting to Piper.

"We're making Tove a studio for her youtube."

"Ahhh..." She eyes the chicken fingers, tempted. "I'll just enjoy the smell." A grin. "And I didn't come for snacks - oh, Auntie Em said Tove might like this tea, though. She said it was good for upset stomach, and she has a voice of experience. They sell it at the Waldrug so I picked some up on the way. Though if she doesn't like it, I'd as soon drink it, so no obligation." Chatting to Dagmar

"There's plenty, though..."

Her mouth pulls into a thin line. "Yeah, tea."

"Yeah, but... well, I'm kinda a bleeding heart hippie. It smells almost good enough to make me backslide- but Zane wouldn't let me hear the end of it, after all the grief he gave me about being veggie-centric." A grin.

Tove returns, "I'm so sorry, I forgot what your Aunt said..." She's got two things. In one hand, cucumber slices with a light prepping and side dip. "This more your style?" in her other hand... an ocarina!

"Oh - vegetarian? I forgot!"

Her jaw drops. "That is ENTIRELY my style - you remembered! When I said I wanted to work on woodwinds... man, I was going to save up to get something from your booth at the next event!"

"Glad you like"

"oh..and this..." she presents the ocarina, "I know, they're not usually made of wood, but I hope you don't mind."

"Mind?" She grins. "I love it! But this must have taken you a lot of work to make, and I just watched your booth for a little while." Accepting the instrument and turning it over in her hands, seeing how the holes line up and giving it an experimental Toot!

There is a pattern of tree and leaves, and the leaves make stars ... and the stars are in the form of her zodiac sign. "I asked your aunt marsha"

Jaymes mutters to Dagmar "Vegitarian is a cherokee word" then a beat "it means 'bad hunter'"

She beams, and throws her arms around Tove in an impromptu hug. "I LOVE it! And you got the Sagittarius star pattern... that's one of the more complex ones, too. SO many stars..."

"Dad, be nice."

"...more chicken for us."

"trust me... When I started and found out I was like 'oh why couldn't she be a taurus'"

She grins over at Dagmar and Dad, her nose wrinkling up a bit as she giggles. "Someone must have thought it was funny to give me The Hunter as a zodiac sign, then. Maybe it's a sign that I should take up archery."

"Then again, Chiron, the original centaur, was also a healer and scholar. And Centaurs are really just horse-satyrs."

"...oh."

"Well, archery is cool. You should do that. I'm a Taurus."

"Or an Aries? I forget, whatever April is."

"Well, if we go to an apple orchard or pumpkin patch, I promise to not let you get lost in the corn maze. Or aries..." She taps her forehead thoughtfully. "Okay, I got nothing there. Something something... golden fleece."

Snort-grin!

"I like that they both have horns." She taps her own.

"You would look good in yellow." She grins, then mock-pouts. "No fair." brushing some of her curls out of the way to show off the modest horns there as well. "Two of a kind, eh?"

"Yeah!"

"And I do have some gold and green stuff, for, you know, fancy things."

"There you go." She snags a bite of cucumber. "Oh, is this home-made ranch dip? It's GOOD. If I lived here, you'd need to widen the door. Though I bet you get tons of exercise on those trails and running those horses through their paces. And you're on the softball team too, right? No wait, I have it, Basketball. I remember, I'm not just saying that because you're tall."

"Archery at the school if you want to try it" Jaymes says

"Basketball and track but softball looks fun if I had more time."

"Really?? That sounds cool. What do you think, Dagmar? Want to try shooting things up with me? Oh, or do you already have a lot to do. I mean, I just listed all the things."

"Archery could be cool. Useful."

"I always thought that Hawkeye was underrated, too. Or maybe I just like purple?"
