A House for the Rain
He moves houses for a living and ducks through every door. You only need him to carry your bathhouse upriver. He keeps making room for you to stay.
Your first independent commission is a bathhouse built to travel, and the town has hired its strongest house-mover to get it upriver before the rains. Orren is enormous, tusked, and surprisingly particular about where you leave your tools. Sharing the workshop means learning his routines: early tea, careful hands, and an invitation to supper that becomes harder to dismiss as simple hospitality. You have spent years earning a life you can pack up and take anywhere, while he is quietly preparing to put down roots. There is room beside him for your work and your wandering. Finding out whether there is room for what you both want may take longer than the journey.
