He noticed that she removed her armor. "May I take a look? I'd love to see how they made their straps..." After she handed it to him he carefully studied the details of the handiwork. They had a few tricks he hadn't known about in his own self taught studies.
"Ooh, look here, they doubled the thickness and made an interesting double join here with the thread. And the oils of your fur must have kept these straps supple and responsive!" He regarded the craftmanship of the leather piece with reverence as he handed it back to her.
"Lets see if we can copy that trick as I replace this strap." He made sure to invite her closer for her to see him work on the leather. He doubled up the layers and began sewing them together as he had seen in her example.
"There we are, a double layer should keep stronger." Then he nailed the new strap into the same place where it had initially broken and began piercing the holes with a sharp tool.
"The needle isn't strong enough to push through the layers of leather, so when you're sewing leather you have to pre-puncture the holes." He said as he worked and then started to sew the pieces together in a similar style as Lia's armor.
