Carving [Open]

Characters: Nesir Aeser and you
Setting: Workshop floor
Format: I'll follow you
Summary: Nesir recovers from December and spends some time in the workshop
Warnings: none so far

Nesir went to the workshop for quite a practical reason, since recieving her poison kit as some kind of twisted reward she had a job to do. The cloak she had been given by Chidori, which she had to admit had probably saved her in the coldest days of December, needed modified, nothing big just a few hidden pockets like what she had in the sleeves of her uniform. It only took about an hour and then her cloak was back on, because even though the heating was back on it was still Winter and Nesir liked being warm.

She was about to leave when she was drawn to the wood and the tools, not the strange looking tools that worked on their own, just the basic tools that Ral had taught her to use. It had been a long time since she had carved, since before she lost her fingers at least but she had nothing better to do and it had always been something that helped calm her.

And in this place she needed all the calm she could get. She sat back down after gathering what she needed and started work on the lump of wood.

Anyone who knew Nesir well would not be blamed for assuming she was making something practical, a weapon of some kind. But as it started to take shape it looked more like a flower, rough work, it was hard when her dominant hand was damaged and she had never been good at carving in the first place despite Ral's teaching.

She was lost in work and for a moment, if you really didn't know her, she looked almost innocent.

"She's my mother."

Rei cocks her head.

"Don't you call your mother Mommy?"
terreifying: (Youth!)

"Oh, that's what Asuka calls her Mommy. I guess it just depends on the person."

Rei, on the other hand, has heard several variations of the term.

"What did the people in the cities call their mothers?"

Rei's really curious about Nesir's world now.

Rei nods.

"Then what do they call their fathers? Anyone use Daddy?"

"There's Papa and Father and Dad and Daddy. But I've never heard anyone say 'baba' before."

Well, maybe they did in other countries.

"Sure sounds like it."

It had a cutesy ring to it, after all.
terreifying: (You are so intent on seeking it out)

"More like an interest in how other worlds work."

Rei leans over to look at the hair clip.

"And that includes all the words."

"Wow!"

Rei's eyes seem to sparkle as she looks the clip over.

"It's so cute! Thank you!

She quickly uses it to clip back her hair.

"I'm glad. I'll show this off to all my friends."

"Well, see you later then, I guess. I'll tell everyone about how you're making hair clips."

Rei gives Nesir a little wave as she turns to leave.
