Kakariko Village was a happening place these days.  The sound of hammering and sawing resounded throughout the village as craftsmen went about their work, building new houses and facilities by the month.  About a decade ago now, Kakariko Village had been but the smallest of hamlets; however that began to change when Impa had decided to open up the village to the common people of Hyrule.  What had once been a tribe purely for the Sheikian clan had opened up the gates and the masses had poured in.

What had once been a remote village was now on the cusp of township, due to the massive amounts of Hylians that had decided to settle in the village.  As a result the carpentry industry had a massive boom as they worked hard to meet the demands of an ever increasing population.  Yulen found himself working part-time at a carpentry business with a rather loud-mouthed boss.  He was a large, gruff looking man who knew about hard-labor, but his bark was more of the encouraging type than that of a taskmaster.

"Heads up!  Here comes the next plank!"  His boss yelled up to Yulen, who was perched up on the top of the frame of a new house.

"I'm ready!"  Yulen called down as the plank was hoisted up by the work crew.  He quickly caught the plank and guided it into position as they prepared the top for where a roof would be put in eventually.

"That a boy!  You'd never think you'd have it in you with those spindly little arms of yours!"  His boss joked as Yulen managed to set the plank in place without a sweat.

"No doubt that's why you had me go through that test first before you hired me!"

"You can bet on the Goddesses that's why I made you go through those extra hoops, I'm not about to let some twig join my crew if they're just gonna wimp out on me in a week!"

The extra test being mentioned had been quite a variety of tasks, such as hauling heavy loads, correct handling of tools, and even a physical fitness test just to be considered.  Yulen's boss only wanted the best crew he could get which is why he had been hesitant when the boy had first tried to get hired.  At this point the boss only wondered why Yulen had never tried to join up full time.  It was a shame he couldn't get more out of the boy but even if he tried to sneak in some overtime, Yulen always insisted on only doing what he was required to do.  It was really quite vexing. 

"Let's make sure all the framing is done correctly and securely before we start putting the rest of the house up!  Let's do it before our little skulltula jumps ship!"

Yulen rolled his eyes at the nickname as he prepared to finish up his shift.
