Tiger × The Engine-Smith
Heads down, polishing one piece, guarding it like its own cub.
The Engine-Smith keeps its head down and polishes one piece, Betelgeuse glowing red in the Waxing Gibbous like the craftsman's own furnace. The Tiger's fierce loyalty turns that focus into possession. So you guard the work like a cub, and the thing you build tolerates no one else's nitpicking, least of all from people who did not sweat over it.
The standard is almost ferocious. You hold your own work to a bar most people would call unreasonable, and what comes out can take a beating because you beat on it first. Betelgeuse burns at the forge end of the sky, hot and slow, and the Waxing Gibbous is the moon filling toward full, the long patient stretch where the craft actually gets made. You live in that stretch. The piece is yours down to the grain.
The break is that you guard so hard one comment makes you blow, and shutting the door to build only narrows the road the work can travel. A piece nobody else is allowed to touch is a piece nobody else can carry. The Waxing Gibbous is almost full but not yet; it still has room to grow, and so does the work, if you let another set of eyes near it. Open the door a crack before you call it done. The cub has to leave the den eventually or it never becomes the tiger.
