Aetat touched an empty desk. He remembered standing behind this and looking at the former master and Kalfene focus on work. The master had taught that bastard everything. In contrast, the rest of them were taught how to assist Kalfene best!
His eyes were dark."I wonder how long you could still own this place you don't have a right to."
Kalfene frowned. Elron thought about intervening, but he also worried if it'd add a botch in his plans to leave.
How could he live if he were thrown in prison for possibly hurting a toolmaker?
Kalfene pushed up his glasses and looked at his former junior with a frown. "You realize it's… bad manners to enter another's workshop without express permission, right?
"I thought master taught you better than that."
Aetat flinched, eyes sharpening as he looked at him. "Master is gone! And you are not the only one of the few who has that inheritance," he said, gritting his teeth. "Don't patronize me."
