[nill has just gotten her mail and, well, she is pretty underwhelmed by it. other people are getting cool coins and donuts, and all she got were a couple lousy dresses. while she's chosen to wear the latter, she's laid the other out in the grass of the gardens for the MID. it is way too fancy for this ship. plus, it makes her miss heine too much. he was the one who always paid for granny liza to make the dresses, even when he could have used the money on himself. but she can't exactly just give away precious clothing. she doesn't really like the standard jumpsuits, either.

after a few moments, she flips the MID back to face herself. the black dress she's wearing now is a bit simpler (even with its ruffly train), and at least has cutouts in the back for her wings. she activates the text function, cutting the video.]

If someone can turn this dress into something else I would appreciate it.
I am not good at sewing.

You poor child. Let me know exactly what you need and I will fix it up for you. Of course, you would be welcome to sit with me so I could show you how it's done. That way, you could handle it yourself in the future.

text;

[culver]

Oh. I would like that.
Who are you?

text;

[grammascookies]

My name is Ana Amari. Of course, you are free to call me Ana or whatever you find simplest to use.

text;

[culver]

I like Ana. My name is Nill.
You really know how to sew?

text;

[grammascookies]

I have a daughter of my own. If I did not know how to sew, I would certainly be a poor mother, would I not?

text;

[culver]

I don't know. I don't have a mother.

text;

[grammascookies]

That is an unfortunate circumstance a lot of people are. I apologize.

But I can assure you that a mother knows how to sew. Not only is it frugal to learn but it can be quite useful.

text;

[culver]

I am not a mother but I have been trying to learn.
I don't think I will ever be very good though.

Do not doubt yourself. The only thing that can cause failure is a lack of confidence. If you have issues believing in yourself, then feel free to believe in my talent as a teacher.

text;

[culver]

Oh. I think I can do that.
I guess it kind of makes sense.
You are a very positive person.

text;

[grammascookies]

I am more of a realistic person. If I thought you were outside of your boundaries, I would let you know. But I truly think this is something you can master.

text;

[culver]

That is nice to hear. Thank you Ana.
When can you start to teach me?

text;

[grammascookies]

When would be good for you?

text;

[culver]

The afternoon. Cleaning the windows takes all morning.

text;

[grammascookies]

This afternoon then. Where would you like to meet?

text;

[culver]

I think my room will be empty.

text;

[grammascookies]

If that is suitable to you, then it is fine for me.

text;

[culver]

I am looking forward to it.
