Kion Ingbretson job fair meeting with Tapio Tapio had come down to the Climbing Tree early because he wanted to have a look at the recent damage to it. The broken branches had been carted away by now, and the groundskeeper elves had been resodding the grass in the area, but the Tree itself still looked a little battered. Tapio had been painting over the bare areas on the tree where branches had fallen, including the one way up high--thank Merlin for magic! He was using a kind of black tar-like substance, which would seal off the area to prevent insects or bacteria from infecting the Tree while it healed. The tar also had some magical healing properties which would hopefully speed its recovery along.
But Tapio had just noticed that it was nearly time for his next job fair interview to begin, this time with Kion Ingbretson, so he had tamped the lid down on his container of tar and was busy using a rag soaked in some sort of cleaning solution to tidy up his hands before the meeting. Mr. Ingbretson seemed to Tapio to be an active type, so he hoped he would appreciate meeting outdoors--Tapio certainly did. |
