Episode 2477: Oh, I Think I Should Be With You
I had a NaNo where the dwarven culture expected an exchange of gifts between hosts and guests. The less-skilled craftsdwarf would give a gift of workable raw material, and the more-skilled craftsdwarf would give a finished item that they had themselves crafted. This was fraught with pitfalls, as giving a crafted item amounted to a claim that your craft was better than the other dwarf's, while raw materials were much less valuable than finished craft, so giving them inappropriately would make the giver seem cheap.
