----- Voice: Private to Wolfram -----

[ Sasha did not mind the snow, and it only means that she has to break out her heavy cloak again. She had set out towards the Education Center to take a look at the looms that Sentience had brought in for her. She then recalls she promised to teach someone, and calls him up -- ]

Hello, Wolfram? It's Sasha-- do you have a moment?

----- Action: Closed to Kanon -----

[ Cheeks flushed from the slight cold, Sasha hangs up her cloak on the rack, places her gloves on the heater and steps out of her boots. Some tea sounds real good right about now -- or perhaps some hot creamy soup... ]

	Ah, yes! I remember offering you weaving lessons -- Sentience has brought in looms for us. I was wondering if you were free today to try them out. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Voice] <3 I saw nothing burningpride 2012-04-29 02:48 am UTC (link)
	I am. I remember you mentioned you wanted the looms installed at the Education Center. Shall I meet you there? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	If you would please. There is no rush, as I am still preparing them. Do keep warm on your way. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I will see you there in a few minutes. [ Wolfram just can't let the girl do all the work by herself, after all, he volunteered to help. He takes some minutes bundling up up and getting ready for the cold. Moments later, he leaves his shared apartment and heads towards the education center. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Of course. See you then. [ Wolfram will find Sasha still setting up the floor loom: sitting on a stool, she adjusts the tautness of the threads to be woven. She will sense him enter the room, and so she will speak as he enters the door -- ] Weaving is a laborious task, which is why it is better to engage in larger projects than smaller ones.

	[ Soon enough he's at the Education Center, looking for her. ] Sasha? [ He follows the sound of her voice while wondering: Are you talking to yourself? ... That is kind of cute. ] Wouldn't small projects be completed faster, though? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ She looks up to him with a smile. ] Hang your coat by the peg and let us get started! [ Just "tuning" the loom a bit more. ] That would be right -- however, one has to carry out the same kind of preparation. It is also better to make something that is too big than too small.

[ He does as instructed and sooner than later he is by Sasha's side.

His eyes focus on the machines, observing them with amazement. ] These machines are huge— my brother uses nothing but two metal hooks to do different kind of cute plush animals.

These ones look complicated. [ Hence why Sasha might be saying it is better to do something bigger than something small and with little complicated details. ]

Yes, they are! The preparation is tedious, but once you get used to it, the motions are quite simple. [ amused~ ] Knitting is a wholly different discipline, but it is indeed ideal for smaller and more intricate projects.

[ Just locking a few more screws and adjusting a few more nobs and -- ] I think we are ready. Watch for a bit at first...

[ Pardon the mun fail, but see Sasha here going about WEAVING, driving the shuttle to and fro, and bringing the press down to lock the threads into place. ]

	[ Even thoug he is paying attention it looks... tedious and complicated, like Sasha said. ] It is a very slow process, isn't it? [ After all those motions only a little and puny piece of fabric has been woven. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Action] goddessofwar 2012-05-04 05:26 am UTC (link)
	Quite so; but the end-result is always satisfying. [ Carrying on as she speaks -- ] I know of some who work really quick and are able to make the most intricate of tapestries. I believe I can only make a small table cloth for now. [ Pauses as she turns to Wolfram. ] Would you like to try? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[ He stares at the weaving as if trying to figure out a way to make it faster or easier to handle but nope, still looks quite tasking. ] Please continue yourself. [ He'll continue observing with attention. However... ]

I remember you said you wanted to make shawls. Could you perhaps try doing one? [ After hearing Sasha wanted to do shawls he wanted to try making one for ~*someone*~. ]

	[ Carrying on... ] Ah, that is true. It would be about the same size after all. Mmm... We shall see once this pieces together. I should have perhaps chosen softer threads, though this can indeed make for a warm shawl. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Action] burningpride 2012-05-16 02:44 am UTC (link)
	Is the weaving process different for a tablecloth than it is for a shawl? I'd like to make a shawl instead of a tablecloth. [ With that in mind he goes to look for a softer thread, like Sasha just said. ] Hm. Would this thread be good for one? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Action] goddessofwar 2012-05-16 01:38 pm UTC (link)
	It isn't -- though some prefer the threads a bit more loose than tight, as the human body has a gentler form to follow than just the corners of a table. [ She takes the thread and unwinds a length for inspection. ] I think this will do well for a very warm shawl. I can wind this on the other loom for you. (Reply to this) (Parent)

[Having lived throughout his life in a sunny and dry heated place, certain Gemini Saint just cannot stand the cold weather outside. Not getting used to it has him a bit irritable.

Still wearing his training clothes and only a sweater and a scarf around his neck, Kanon is at the kitchen making some jasmine tea, a casserole filled with stew is on the stove it looked like it was made a while ago.

Back facing the door, he notices her arrival and half turns at her.]

	[ That goes the same for Sasha, discarding her own scarf and woolen vest in he process and eventually approaching Kanon. ] I did not know you could cook, Kanon.

	[An amused chuckle as he finishes making one cup of tea, handing it to her. Actually... Saga was a better cook than himself. But alas! His own luck...] I only hope it is edible enough.

	[Making his own cup. A serious tone.] Saga was fond of Greek cooking and it had better flavor than my own. [Silent for a moment.] ... I believe you would have liked it very much. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Then I'm glad, my lady.

[Welp.] [He wanted to be grateful to her for staying at her place in some way. Not that he has some sort of talent for cooking but he tries at least. Anything he prepares ends up having not an enjoyable taste.

Once finished, he turns with cup in hand and sits beside her, placing it on the table.]

I like to travel. To different cities around the world. And perhaps... playing the piano. I'm not very good though but I'm learning.

[Are those things pastimes anyway?]

	[ Then Kanon might just be lucky, what with Sasha's human upbringing... ] Getting to know the world you are protecting is a great thing to do! I am afraid I have not been able to do much traveling myself. The only places I have ever known is my hometown in Italy, and Athens. You can practice your music-playing here, you know.

	[Stares at her. Italy...?] You weren't born in Greece? [That... one is new.] Hm. At the Education Center, that is. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	action; goddessofwar 2012-05-01 06:30 am UTC (link)
	That is right. There are pianos and other instruments in the Music Classroom that you make use of. I believe there are also others who might be able to help you practice. [ Oh yes, that is quite the different case, is it not? ] I was born in a small town in Italy -- though my brother and I grew up as orphans. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	action; once_evil 2012-05-02 02:01 am UTC (link)
	[A small grin.] When the time comes, I will play something for you. [Then an amused expression.] I wonder how Athena herself ended up in a small town in Italy when she's supposed to appear at the Sanctuary. [Because the orphan part doesn't impress him at all. Maybe the brother part can be an exception...] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	action; goddessofwar 2012-05-02 06:23 am UTC (link)
	I look forward to it. [ She is not out to impress anyone; just stating facts since they are getting to know each other and all. ] I willed it so -- to be born from a womb, to be held by a mother, and to grow surrounded by the people I am meant to protect. Is it so strange? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	It might have caused Holy Father Sage some trouble -- but they did find me. [ Looking down into her cup, and recalling her wish. ] The experience was... very unique. I will not exchange those memories I have made for anything. Am I so different from the Athena you know? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	action; once_evil 2012-05-03 05:33 am UTC (link)
	Hm. [Listening to her fascination for human nature is quite interesting. One of the reasons why she is willing to give her life for humankind.] [But her asking about Saori takes him off guard.] As far as I know, she was raised in a wealthy family from Japan and her upbringing is quite different.

[ Good thing he looks away, as he would not have seen the slight and fleeting studying look she gives him. Kanon is more transparent than he believes himself to be, she thinks.

She shakes her head. ] I thank you for your compliment, Kanon; but our appearance is not something that we bear much importance to. It only brings trouble, I learned.
