[ She giggles and reaches out to grab his thread. ]

How do you keep doing that, silly.

[halcyonism]

[ It's clearly a magical talent that only he possesses. ]

I wish I knew. At this rate, I'll ruin the pillow and will have to start again.

[ At the very least, he's not mad at it. Just... shocked that this has happened so frequently. Perhaps if his stitching was neater. ]

[happiestberry]

[ She giggles a little more and untangles his thread ]

It's okay, practice makes perfect. I just thought you would want to start out with something simple like hand sewing first. Before you tried a machine.

[halcyonism]

[ Miwako, you're a life-saver~ ]

I suppose I understand. Fundamentals, right? Once one masters sewing by hand, they can move on to an easier method. Correct?

[ Of course, having a machine do all the work for him seems like it would be easier. At least the thread wouldn't get tangled. Probably. ]

[happiestberry]

I just dont want you getting hurt by the machine. it's very easy to for a new person. Even someone who is not new!

[halcyonism]

[ He knows she didn't mean it as one, but somehow that feels insulting.... Archadia is full of technology! He should be able to operate a sewing machine without lopping his hand off. ]

Are they truly that difficult to master?

[happiestberry]

Miwako still sometimes sews her fingers.

[halcyonism]

[ What. ]

That sounds rather painful.... Especially with the force of a machine behind it. You don't do it often, do you, Miwako?

[happiestberry]

Only sometimes!

[halcyonism]

You ought to be more careful.

[ Well, at least Miwako doesn't tangle up her thread ten million times when attempting to sew just one thing. Stupid pillow. ]

Though if it happens and I'm nearby, I could fix any injury you might acquire from a needle or sewing machine. Then it wouldn't hurt quite so much.

[happiestberry]

You're so nice, Larsa. Miwako's glad we became friends,

[ And While she's watching him sew his cute little pillow, she's sewing beads onto something she's working on. ]

[halcyonism]

As am I.

[ Larsa's doing his best not to tangle the thread... so far so good. Maybe he can last a whole five minutes before ruining it again! And then, suddenly: ]

Miwako? Who taught you how to sew...?

[happiestberry]

My big sister. It was something she was very passionate in, and she even made her own company out of her designs. I grew up admiring her.

[halcyonism]

Really? She must have been quite talented to have her own company. If she was as passionate as you say she was, then I imagine she grew to be incredibly successful. Merchandise created with love and attention sells better than cheaply produced ones.

[ He knows all about admiring an older sibling, oh yes~ ]

Your sister-is she here on the ship?

[happiestberry]

She isn't here.. [ Frowns a little. ] Sh-she's just.. fashionably late, that's all.

[halcyonism]

Oh, I... I apologize.

[ Now he feels like the world's biggest jerk. Stupid curiosity. Stupid pillow. ]

Worry not. I'm sure she'll find her way here soon. You've sewn so many things for her to see, haven't you? So surely she will come here and tell you how much she likes them all.
