Does anybody here know how to sew robes?

A-Jie, you shouldn't have to! You're working so hard on our home. I was hoping to trade with someone so I wouldn't have to bother you.

Even though I know nobody's skill could compare to yours!

[soups]

i don't know that i could make a full and impressive hanfu for you anyway, but i'm always here to help you fix up anything.

nie-gongzi actually suggested i try to make some dressings out of the spare bedsheets in rooms, if you don't mind being some first attempts.

[legbreakings]

You know I'm always here to support all your attempts, A-Jie! Do you think you could take a look at my outer robes? With me only having this one set, the hem is getting rather torn.

I found a fabrics store in town. Would you like to go there together? You don't have to work with bedsheets, you should have only the best materials.

[soups]

i didn't realize there was a fabric store. can we please? i was recently gifted a variety of dresses, but i still feel most comfortable in robes.

but of course i'll mend any of your hems : )

[legbreakings]

You're the best, Jiejie!

Let's go into town tomorrow? We can take a look at the grocer's, too, or at the other stores, and I'll carry everything home.

[soups]

that sounds wonderful. you don't have to carry everything, though.

oh, a-cheng have you been bowling?

[legbreakings]

Of course I'll carry your bags! I won't have Jiejie do the heavy lifting!

I don't know what bowling is but I can get you some if you like.

[ Spoiler: He figures it's something that involves bowls. Like soup bowls. ]

[soups]

it's a game that lan sizhui showed me. you roll a heavy ball down a false hallway and knock over statues. it's quite fun!

its also in town so i can show you if you like. i think i have gotten quite good!

[legbreakings]

I thought you were trying to get us new soup bowls.

If you want to go I'll go with you.

[soups]

i also wouldn't mind some new dinnerware but i'm not sure what shop would have them. i may have to find the clay to make them myself.

[legbreakings]

Hopefully not! That sounds like a lot of work.

But if we do need to make our own I'll help you.

[ Even if he knows nothing about working with clay. He can... um... fan her when she gets hot? ]

Let's see what we find in town.

[soups]

❰ she's certainly not an expert, but she's actually smiling thinking of the wobbly bowls and plates jiang cheng would make. ❱

i don't know, i think i might like to see what you could make.

something ornamental and special, to celebrate our new home.

[legbreakings]

If that's what you would like I will do it. Just don't expect it to look nice.

[ There will absolutely be wobbly plates and he dreads the humiliation already. ]
