[After all the craziness that went on, Frederic is rather glad he wasn't caught up in it. For today though, he's simply sitting on the edge of the fountain in the square admiring a sewing pattern book he picked up from the library with a small smile. Picking out the cutest design for a stuffed pony, he remembers what Frey told him, so then he

I can sew. What is it you need made?

[Voice]

[refinedmaestro]

Oh thank you, miss. What I need made is...a stuffed horse, or rather a pony.

[Voice]

[undertheanchor]

[She considers.] I haven't made toys before, but I think I could do it. How big did you want it to be?

[Voice]

[refinedmaestro]

About big enough to hold in one's arms. It's for a friend of mine who loves ponies you see, and I want to make him feel better about his stay here in the village.

[Voice]

[undertheanchor]

[Frederic might hear the wistful smile in Jacky's voice.] We all could use some comfort in this place. Myself, I would prefer a real horse... but I will see what I can do for your friend. Did you say you had a pattern?

[Voice]

[refinedmaestro]

Yes, I did. Please allow me to show you. [Frederic puts the book in view of the camera for Jacky and she'll see something like this.]

[Voice]

[undertheanchor]

[Jacky studies the image, seeing the pattern of the seams and what the pieces would look like when they were flat.]

I will need fabric and stuffing, but I can make this in a few weeks.

[Voice]

[refinedmaestro]

Oh thank you so much. And would you like to meet with me at the fountain in the plaza? We could get some fabric and stuffing together, that is if you don't mind. We could even get some introductions in as well?

[Voice]

[undertheanchor]

Jacky Faber's the name, and I will be pleased to make your acquaintance in person very shortly.

((Action thread? Except I'm going away for the weekend, so it's cool if you want to call it a missed connection and just have someone else make the pony.))

[Voice]

[refinedmaestro]

My name is Frederic Francois Chopin, it's a pleasure to meet you Miss Faber. I shall be waiting for you in moment's time.

[ooc: Well Yao/China was also interested in making the pony, but I'd still love for Frederic to meet Jacky. But I guess we could say they meet and can't really find anything? So they'll try again another time? If that's cool with you.]

[Action]

[undertheanchor]

[In a few minutes Jacky will be at the fountain, looking for Monsieur Chopin. Is that him? Or maybe... ?]

((I wanted her to do this so she could ask for something in return and get PIANO LESSONS but, another time maybe.))

[Action]

[refinedmaestro]

[Frederic looks up to see a woman coming near him, he stands up with the book still in hand as he smiles with a bow.]

Miss Faber, I presume? A pleasure to see you in person.

[ooc: Oh Frederic would gladly give her lessons regardless, because you know he's just so nice like that.]

[Action]

[undertheanchor]

[Jacky curtseys.] Le plaisir est le mien, Monsieur. [... Or, that's what she thinks she said. Somehow it comes out more like:] The pleasure is mine, Sir.

((Maybe she'll ask!))

[Action]

[refinedmaestro]

If it is polite of me to ask, where exactly do you come from? Meaning what is your country of origins.

[Action]

[undertheanchor]

[She hesitates.] I am from England, sir. But well-travelled.

[Action]

[refinedmaestro]

[He looks surprised.] England? When I visited it, I thought it was a very beautiful country.
