ngaaaaah i'm gonna go stir crazy at this rate
anyone got chores or something they need help with?
i can clean and do laundry, but i can't cook unless ya really like burnt stuff
or, i found a little bit of sewin' stuff, so maybe i could make a couple stuffed animals on
whaddya call it
commiseration?
...but i guess there ain't no real point to money here so
it could just be a favor or something!

i just really need to do stuff other than walk around all day lookin fer stuff that ain't even here...

They are profoundly different from this world. And the worlds of others, too, as I am learning.

Where I am from, holding onto such trinkets into adolescence and especially adulthood would be viewed as a sign of weakness. When reputation is everything, and the jackals are scrabbling for any foothold to tear down others and raise themselves up, one tends to do away with toys and trinkets as soon as possible.

Perhaps a particularly spoiled second or third son with a reasonably secure family situation could get away with such, but it seems this young gentleman is from a world where sentimentality is not such a rare commodity?

[Mm, yep! That's a lot of complicated language that requires a few re-reads before he gets the gist.]

[But he does know someone who is softhearted and grew up in a world far gentler than his own who would probably very much like a little toy, just for himself.

The disgruntled little 'tch' Binghe makes is audible from orbit.]

Fine. Can you make a small, white cat with a green ribbon?

[Good thing they're doing this over text because Mika absolutely feels like he just won and his triumphant over it would definitely not help.]

'course i can! i'll work extra hard on it even~
oh, what's yer name btw? so i know who to give it to

[alloriginalheavenlypillar]

[Luo Binghe can sense he just got beat by a kid and he's going to be in a tetchy little huff about it all day. Time to go clean the apartment for the 40th time! Feel his wrath dustbunnies!]

That is very kind.

This one is Liu Feiyu. However, if you intend to stitch a name onto it, it should be 'Shen Yuan'.

What would the young man wish for in exchange for this service?

[galateaed]

nice to meetcha~ i'm mika kagehira
so ya want this for a friend of yers? that's real nice of ya!

oh right. um. hrmmm...
i dunno tbh, there kinda isn't anything i need right now? since everything's free here anyway

[alloriginalheavenlypillar]

He seems the sort who would enjoy such things.

If there is nothing now that you need, then consider this Liu Feiyu in your debt.
