[A recent conversation with Kairi led to her finding a skirt in his nest of clothing on Xanth's bed.
He was using it as a blanket, honest. It had just been so much simpler to bed down in clothes instead of having someone make blankets. But he doesn't want a repeat of this event, so...]U-Uhm, uh, s-so ( Read more... )

I know how to sew. A little. [A very little.]
I would be happy to help, if you still need it. I might not be able to sew very fast, though...

I-- I remember. I-I don't think I-I caught your name, th-though.
And-- th-that's okay. The-- the more th-the merrier, r-right? I-I'll need a-all the help I-I can get. P-Piecing a-a quilt together o-out of clothing i-isn't so hard, but it-- it t-takes a while.

Out of clothing? Will the blanket be thick enough for you? [Of course she will worry about this, now. She always worries about the well being of others.]

Y-Yeah, I-- I know Kairi.
[They're friends. There's something awkward between them, somewhere under the surface, but they're friends.]
I-- I think it will? I-I mean, w-we can-- l-layer it. O-Or just, m-make... m-more than one.

[Now she frowns slightly in considered thought.]
Maybe...we can collect feathers...and clean them and stuff them inside?
Reply
U-Um... m--maybe. Th-there aren't a--a lot of b-birds around here, th-though, e-except for-- f-for pigeons. I-I don't-- think they have s-such, um, good... s-stuffing feathers.

We will have to do our best then, to make certain you are warm enough. Would you like me to start sewing now? [She looks inquisitively at him, expression open for whatever he preferred.]
Reply
[Besides, he's already enlisted someone else for today, and he doesn't know if he can teach two people at once.]
But-- th-thanks a lot, f-for this. [He smiles again.] D--DO you know where th-the clothier's tower i-is?
Reply
Okay. Tomorrow, then, if you still want me?
[A small smile.] I can find it. I'll do that today, then. Gather materials.
Reply
[As for materials...]
L-Look, um, look for-- s-soft things, o-or thick things, o-or both. Cotton a-and linen and-- w-wool, those, t-those are a-all good.
Reply
Okay. I'll do my best!

Th--thanks, Aara. I'll-- s-see you around noon, th--then? If-- th-that works f-for you?
Reply
Yes. That works for me. [Grins happily into the video feed, saying nothing.]

H-Hey! L-Let me, um, lemme just-- h-here, I-I can get that.
[He walks up to Aara, then moves to take some of her burden. That's a lot of clothes!]
