What does your Grem do in their free time?

A grem pushes through the door to their apartment and drops their heavy bag from their shoulders. Customers had been tough today and drivers were just a little too slow. No one’s fault, but they can’t wait to get settled down and do the one thing that always takes the stress of these kinds of days away.
Turning the kettle on in the kitchen, they enter their home office and sit at the lone desk beneath the window. It’s a chaotic scene of carving knives and wood chips, half-carved figures strewn about the work area, with various tools to the side in their respective piles. Some mostly-completed carvings are painted, some are not. Putting on their work goggles, they take a deep breath and let the tensions of their day fall apart.
Though they’ve tried many hobbies and gone through a number of interests over the years, there’s just something special about working on their figurines.
