Knocking on the workshop door, Figol hoped Kwiksol wasn't busy.
Kwiksol had been very good about letting him borrow the guitar to play for Aletta, but he didn't know if he would keep letting him borrow it, but it was the only thing that he could think of to justify his visits with the greenrider.

Kwiksol cocked his head at hearing the knock **I'm not expecting anyone** he thought, so then paused and responded. "Enter!" Kwiksol said in a booming dramatic voice.

"It's just me, Figol." he said as he poked his head in the door and grinned.

"Ahhh come in Figol its been a few days," Kwiksol said. He had been wanting to speak to him, so this saved him the trouble. "What, can I help you with," he asked as he always did, smiling at the young apprentice.

He closed the door behind him as he walked in and peered over at the journeyman's activities. "I'm not interrupting am I? I just had a quick question."

"Nothing that can wait for a few moments. I'm sure you won't be here very long Figol," he said, teasing the apprentice a bit. "You're running off to meet someone soon?"

"Um, yeah, sort of." He hadn't actually mentioned the headstrong greenrider by name, but he wouldn't be surprised if the journeyman knew of his time spent with her. "I was just wondering if I could borrow a guitar again, that's all."

"Mmm-hmmm," Kwiksol said, nodding. "Yes, of course Figol, but, in exchange, can you do a favor for me?"

"Sure." Figol agreed quickly, it was only fair of course.

"I'd like you come back and you'll learn how to make your own guitar.
do you think you can do that Figol," Kwiksol replied, hoping he wasn't asking too much of the young apprentice. "It would have to be on your own time, would the free period before the evening meal be better, or during your study hour?"

"Well sure I can!" Figol replied excitedly. **Wait until everyone hears about this!** Most of his friends had only made simple drums so far. "During the study hour is fine with me, sir."

"Thanks, I appreciate the favor Figol," Kwiksol said trying not to laugh at the boys enthusiasium. He truly hoped no one would mind he was getting ahead with Figol's teaching, which is why he had suggested doing so during Figol's own time. **It'll make _him_ look more motivated. "We'll start next seven day? And don't forget to bring the guitar back with you.

Figol grabbed the guitar he had borrowed previously from the rack and headed towards the door before the journeyman could change his mind. "I will sir, and thanks again!"

Kwiksol waved and smiled as Figol ran out. **Well, back to work,** he thought, attending to what Figol had interrupted.
