Geva 	Getting used to that knife I gave you? Gods know it doesn't happen very often, but you've chanced to find me unoccupied. How about you show me what you've learned?
Geva 	Let's see you make three leather chokers.
Geva 	After all, there's more to our craft than simply tanning hides, and chokers are just about the simplest things one can make.
Geva 	You'll need circles of leather and animal sinew to accomplish this task. Osgyth can provide the sinew, and I'm sure you recall the method for making leather.
Geva 	I hope your technique has improved since last time.
Geva 	Now, while we have an ample stock of skins, there are other means of procuring your materials.
Geva 	Hunting for your own pelts, for instance. Aye, I know what I said about that before. But that was about assuming it was necessary. Choosing to do so is another matter. Indeed, it may teach you to appreciate the source of your livelihood.
Geva 	Not all leatherworkers are wont to choose this method...but you are an adventurer, are you not?
Geva 	When you've finished your work, bring your chokers here for inspection.
 	
Geva 	You've finished your work, then?
Geva 	I suppose there is no denying that these are leather chokers.
Geva 	If truth be told, an opo–opo could've achieved similar results given skins, sinew, and time.
Geva 	Oh, but I don't mean to make light of your efforts. You fulfilled the order precisely as requested─a job well done.
Geva 	Now then, I will teach you something to supplement your learning.
Geva 	Through physical training, the body can be made strong and resistant to injury. Not so the throat, which ever remains a vulnerable point.
Geva 	Although a leather choker provides less protection than a metal gorget, its simple design makes it ideal for everyday applications.
Geva 	This simplicity also makes it an ideal choice for beginners practicing basic techniques─and for guildmasters assessing their progress.
Geva 	As you are, you would make a passable leatherworker─one among the nameless multitudes who scrape a living out there. Whether you rise to become something more is contingent upon your efforts.
Geva 	Consider this amateur's awl a reward for your efforts.
Geva 	You will find it an indispensable partner to the head knife as you continue your training.
Geva 	Now, I must return to my work. If you chance to find me unoccupied again, mayhap I will teach you something else.
Geva 	Till then, keep your nose to the grindstone!
Quest complete.	Quest complete.
