Kaldis had been inspecting the handcart's structure before Sophia had exited the Guild, even though he already knew exactly what it was, how it holds together, and how much it can hold, he still always inspected anything he made closely. He supposed that it was a forced habit from his carpentry apprenticeship, even when formed with magic, a second inspection could never hurt; better to have the thing fall apart when you look at it than when you're standing on it. He hadn't anticipated anybody arriving before the hour was up, and as such was surprised when Sophia had somehow sneaked around him and complimented the hand cart. 

He almost fell back onto the cart when he suddenly heard her compliment, his back barely balanced against the top of the cart's frame. Catching himself and regaining his balance, he bashfully scratched the back of his head, wasn't often that he got compliments on his work, and it made him glad someone thought it looked good. Still scratching the back of his head, he replied with a stammered: [b]"I-it's nothing too special. I just threw it together to carry everyone's things."[/b] He saw a little twinkle in her eye when Sophia saw the wooden horse still attached to the wagon, and he considered for a moment keeping the thing, after all, she seemed to like it. When she asked if she could ride it, he sauntered over to where the horse stood, overall, it wasn't anything extravagant or detailed in the slightest, it was almost like a child's toy in its simplicity, the most and ONLY intricate part being the ball-joints along it's legs at the various connecting points. 

He placed both his hands in the usual position near the ground, and began constructing a small step ladder that went up to around the center of the wooden mare's stomach. He turned back to her with a small smile tearing at his lips before saying: [b]"Go right ahead, you can keep it if you want, I wasn't planning on using the wagon or the horse after the job."[/b] He patted the wooden horse's head, signaling that it was alright to get on.
