75 [Accidental Video]

[flameandpassion]

[Rei is sitting in her fire reading room. She hasn't left it very often since the memory event ended, somewhat obsessed with trying to see glimpses of home through the flames. That and the warmth and fire is a comfort to her -- so she may as well get whatever work she needs to get done finished inside.

For tonight, she has a pile of clothes in front of her that she is mending -- and not only mending, but adding lining to for winter. She has a pile of finished folded clothes to her right -- a coat or two for Minako and Usagi, a longer jacket for Michiru, and she's currently working on dismantling Castiel's coat in order to add lining to it, to ensure he doesn't freeze to death when the snow actually starts. Youma, her cat, is on a pile of untouched clothing, watching Rei with his large blue eyes, tail flicking in boredom.

The needle flashes quickly, in and out, and shows Rei frowning in concentration before the feed ends.]

[She watches in silence for a long moment.]

It is quite the example you are setting for the rest of us, Mademoiselle.

Winter arrives faster than you think. Might as well start getting ready for it now instead of sitting around doing nothing.

They say, 'idleness is the root of all evil'. However, I have discovered that patience do have its own implications.

[flameandpassion]

You kind of change your mind about the root of all evil once you meet Satan.

Do you know how to sew?

[video]

[unreadability]

I am indeed educated out in the mechanics, but I shan't say it is one of my talents.

[video]

[flameandpassion]

I taught myself when I was younger. It's kind of stuck with me since. And it's useful, in this world.

[video]

[unreadability]

As all basic crafts, I could imagine. Cooking and preservation of food have become my primary concerns, after my arrival.

[video]

[flameandpassion]

Aah, I learned how to can things my first winter here. It's actually kind of fun. I've been trying to candy things.

[Cas has a sweet tooth.]

[video]

[unreadability]

Over summer, I have prickled plums, pears and various berries - using their own juice as an effective sweetener. Should it have your interest, I would be glad to send over a few jars.

[video]

[flameandpassion]

Aah -- Cas would love those. I'd love that. Is there anything you'd want in return?

[video]

[unreadability]

Jean Louis is not keen on sweet things. As such, there are eleven jars that will eventually spoil, unused, were they to stay with us. All of them are yours. Would you line a coat for me - with rabbit fur, as payment?

[video]

[flameandpassion]

Sounds perfect. I'll get it done as soon as I can.

[video]

[unreadability]

Thank you... Mademoiselle Hino, yes?

[video]

[flameandpassion]

Rei is fine.

[video]

[unreadability]

Rei. In this case, you must call me 'Mireille'. No relation should begin on an unequal footing.

[video]

[flameandpassion]

[Aah, a woman of her own heart.]

Formality is a little pointless here. We're all stuck here together on the same level, aren't we?

[video]

[unreadability]

Most contexts render formality nothing but a stretch of borderland for us to acknowledge. Once the setting changes, the borders are allowed to expand.

[video]

[flameandpassion]

Makes sense.

[video]

[unreadability]

The world we live in is quite strategically constructed.
