Lady Orihime? Are you there?

[The festival is tonight, so Forrest hopes he'll be able to catch her before she gets too absorbed in things.]

Oh, what a charming kimono! It really suits you.

[Of course it does, but this is Forrest, so he feels compelled to comment on it anyway. Knowing a thing or two about Hoshidan customs and how many of them carry over to Japanese ones here, he slips his own shoes off before entering.]

Only something light. I wanted to make sure to catch you before you got too busy with the festival preparations. Breakfast sounds lovely.

[Forrest kneels at the table, nodding at the lesson. Far from embarrassed at the correction, he's eager to learn.]

Oh, so that's the difference! I'd heard the word before, but I was never entirely sure. There's a country neighboring mine called Hoshido at home that has many of the same kinds of styles, and I'm only starting to become familiar with how to make them.

[And the food she's serving is familiar to him, too. He's cooked similar things himself before. Miso soup is new, though.]

Ah, thank you. It all smells wonderful.

[Forrest's brow furrows in thought as he shakes his head.]

No, it's definitely not an island country - it has vast land holdings, and neighbors my father's country of birth, the kingdom of Nohr. And I haven't heard much about snowy weather there, except in the mountains.

I suppose it must seem like the blink of an eye to the gods.

[Forrest smiles, politely working away at his own breakfast.]

Thank you for taking the time to help me improve my craft. I was wondering... do you think you could show me how to make enchanted garments?

It's not a power I possess either. Lakshmi's magic is more suited for cleaning. But I thought if I could learn to do it from anyone, it would be from you.

[Forrest nods, smiling eagerly in return.]

Of course. I'd be happy to learn whatever you have to teach. If nothing else, the experience will be valuable and I'll be able to broaden the horizons of my own knowledge.

Oh... yes. I've been making my own clothing since I was young, and I've done commission work for others since coming here. I'm really just trying to learn some new and advanced techniques - and yes, enchanting them, if that turns out to be something I show the talent for.

[Forrest smiles, his cheeks flushing from all the compliments.]

No, I've just had a keen interest in making clothing ever since I was a child. Any talent I have now stems simply from a deep personal passion and years of practice.

Fuujin... all right.

[Forrest hasn't met him personally, but he's heard his name here and there. He hadn't expected such a task right off the bat, but he's as confident in his skills as ever, and nods back to Orihime.]

I'll speak with him, then, and get right to work. Thank you for giving me this chance, Lady Orihime. I'll do my best.

And I look forward to hearing your opinions of it.

[Forrest is having a hard time hiding his own giddiness. He never thought he'd be in a position like this, learning about fashion from an actual goddess known for producing fine clothing.]

No, I think I should be all right. I'll need to think about what to make.
