Olin watched with heavy eyelids as his master wandered off down the road, obviously preoccupied with the carvings he carried. The dwarf sighed -- ah, to be able to meander at will; without schedules and deadlines and... orders. But it was not his job to wonder and dream, he had a job to do, and one that would finally be enjoyable.
"Break in one hour," Olin called out to the other dwarves, who cheered and then went back to work with newfound energy. They were all tired, as was he; the group had been working with broken stone for days. But, the dwarf decided (before dumping his armload of wood at a nearby stack), "Productive is good, and exciting is better. But at least I've been doing something productive."
