[ There's a long pause, like someone isn't sure if his mailbox is recording yet. But there's two taps against the speaker, making sure it's on, and then a voice pronounces crisply: ]
[fox is sitting in a corner on the floor, slumped against the wall at an odd angle in order to relieve pressure on his injured hip. blood has soaked through his kimono on that side but doesn't appear to be fresh. his expression is vacant, almost hollow, and he looks exhausted, bags under his eyes and his skin pale... no, white. white as in monochromatic. there's very little color left on him at this point, the sofaform disorder having started to take hold.
but when shu enters he notices, his eyes moving before his head slowly lifts]
[ the contract drops from his hand in his haste to get to Fox's side. He kneels before him, examining the injury best he can without touching him for fear of exacerbating it
To fox, quiet and urgent: ]
Yes. I have come for you; soon I will take you home again and you will be free of his clutches.
Mssr: There is no need to apologize for coming to me, Lucifel. I have told you in the past to come to me as need be, non? Mssr: What do you require of me?
higanbana: My request is twofold higanbana: I have a need to have my clothes tailored higanbana: I'd also like to learn how to tailor clothes as I have plans for an upcoming live that would require tailoring
Mssr: While I would be more than happy to teach you the skill and to tailor your clothes, precisely how soon are you planning to do that live? I cannot guarantee you will have learned enough to be able to do all you require for your live no matter how good of a student you are: as all truly worthwhile skills it requires patience and practice, not simply a rudimentary classroom understanding.
higanbana: I see higanbana: It would be in a few days higanbana: However, for the sake of properly being able to tailor the clothes, I can look into postponing it higanbana: I'll dedicate all of my time to it as well, if I must
Mssr: Very well. If you are willing to devote yourself to this endeavor entirely, then I shall teach you to the best of my abilities. Mssr: When a few days have passed, we can assess and see where your skills stand.
Mssr: I am not currently doing anything that cannot be interrupted. Mssr: Unless you mean to ask about my status more generally, in which case the answer is likely more than you wished to read, but I would expand upon if asked. Mssr: And yourself?
requiem: you can totally tell me whats eating at you if you wanna requiem: i have some uhh requiem: new limbs though requiem: and was hopin youd be willing to alter some shirts
Mssr: Yes, certainly. Mssr: That is a favor I would refuse few, much less a friend. Mssr: Do come over, bringing the shirts you wish to be altered and yourself, and I will see what can be done.
[ and it'll be maybe ten minutes before she knocks on Taisho's door, a handful of folded shirts in hand. She's currently wearing her only low-backed shirt and leggings though. ]
