Seems Kale hardly left before he's back. There's that grating sound of the coal leaving the shovel and a crack from the furnace as it all settles, and I spare him a glance as the shovel digs into the coal again.
"Find my lady?" Something tells me…
Now that the furnace is heating up, this room's warming up right quick. I can feel the blaze of the fire on my face. I can feel moisture on my forehead, so I wipe it away with the back of my hand as I take a step back from the furnace soon as my j…
