Seeing Ksenia speaking to the inspector outside the meeting, and appearing to be at least willing to do so, Jacobus moved over offering a nod. "Craftmistress, something you need help with?" he offered with an air of a man who enjoyed his day's work and was looking to keep busy.
“Oh, Jacobus - I’ll be taking Inspector Farlight on a tour around the hall. There were some issues with the paperwork, so she wants to inspect things herself.” Turning to the inspector, Ksenia offered, “Inspector, this is the foreman of our crew, Jacobus.”
Jacobus offered out his massive hand, giving the Inspector a firm shake and a nod as he looked her square in the eye. "A pleasure to help you and Mister Black in any way I can, Craftmistress. Don't know what we'd have done without the work, food, and warmth you pair offered," he said, keeping his gaze unblinking. Then, as soon as it had begun, it seemed whatever contest had been occurring between the foreman and the Inspector ended. Jacobus turned his eyes aside and stepped back with a nod, looking to Ksenia for direction.
“Alright - we can start in here, I suppose. I believe it’s already on the business documents, but Mister Black and I intended the Hall to be a community center almost as much as a crafthall.” Ksenia walked toward the clusters of tables along one wall, where the crew and some of the neighbors talked. “The tables give us space for socializing, eating, and any small handwork.”
Turning toward the back wall, Ksenia continued. “As you saw before, the inside walls and most of our furniture are easily moved to adjust for the needs of our eventual renters, our crew, and the neighborhood if needed.” She gave the Inspector a somewhat nervous smile. “I’m currently the only guaranteed crafter, so when we started planning, we wanted to be able to accommodate different needs without having to completely rebuild walls.”
