Subject: Housekeeping Classes!

Hello everyone! My name is Thoma! Nice to meet you! ▽･ｪ･▽ﾉ” (That’s a dog.)

I was just thinking that there are a lot of us here who might be new to living alone or managing things around the house and I wanted to help out. I’m a housekeeper back home, and my duties include cooking, cleaning, mending, laundry, and a few things in-between. These are all valuable skills to have in everyday life!

Usually, I am happy to help where I can, but realistically I can’t clean every house in all of Reverein, so I would like to teach the basics of housekeeping instead. Please let me know if you’re interested and I will schedule some classes! ♡(ᐢ ᴥ ᐢし) (That’s another dog.)



Oh, I also knit so if you want to learn how to do that, I can help there too!

Thanks for reading. Take care everyone!

Does the rest not sound to your liking? Not that I'm opposed to just knitting lessons, mind you.

[indolentaxe]

I mean, I'm already pretty good at cleaning and organizing, and the rest of it just sounds like work. I'd much rather get other people to help me out than do it myself.

[At least she's honest...?]

[burnbrighter]

At least you’re honest about it, I guess. But I understand that the whole kit and caboodle isn’t for everyone, so I’m happy to teach you to knit if that’s what you want.

[indolentaxe]

You're the best! ♥

If you're interested in how to make jewelry, we can maybe do a teaching exchange or something?

[burnbrighter]

Oh, I didn't realize you made jewelry! That explains why you were such an expert at flower crowns.

I can't say I ever put any thought into learning, but now you've piqued my interest!

[indolentaxe]

Yeah! It's amazing what beautiful things you can make with some flowers, some resin, and a few sparkly gems.

It's a deal, then. I'm looking forward to it!

[burnbrighter]

Me too! I wasn't expecting to come out of this exchange with a new skill of my own, so thanks Hilda!

How have you been lately? It's been a while.

[indolentaxe]

You're welcome!

It HAS been awhile! I don't think I've even said congrats to you for the relationship between you and Ori and whatshisface. The redhead.

[Doing great, Hilda.]

I'm doing well! Enjoying the weather and dating Baltie, mostly.

[burnbrighter]

Diluc, you mean? Thank you!

And it seems some congratulations are in order for you, as well. I don't know if I know a "Baltie", though.

[indolentaxe]

Yeah, him. The winery guy.

[Not to be confused with the other winery guy who reminds her of the more rigid nobles back home, with a splash of the macabre for good measure.]

Thank you! His name is Balthus, actually, but I've always called him Baltie. We've actually known each other since we were both kids, so it's been kind of weird. But in a good way. :)

[burnbrighter]

Oh!! I do know Balthus! We've helped each other out a few times. He's a great guy. I'm happy for you!

[indolentaxe]

Saves me from having to introduce you, then!

Oh, here's an idea. How about we use our you-teach-me-I-teach-you thing to make nice things for our partners? It's always more fun crafting when it's for someone you care about.

[burnbrighter]

You just read my mid, Hilda! I'd love to create something for Ori and Diluc. I'm sure Balthus would appreciate a gift from you as well.

[indolentaxe]

Great minds think alike! ♥

It's a bit too warm for something knitted, but I'm sure he'll appreciate having a scarf or something once the summer passes and it cools off again.

[burnbrighter]

It will give you some time to hone your skills. Scarves are pretty simple and great for beginners but if you want to make something like a sweater, it will take a lot more practice.

[indolentaxe]

Good think we're getting started now! I'll be onto sweaters and all that just in time for the cold weather.

[burnbrighter]

Let's meet up sometime soon, then. I'll bring all my yarn!

[indolentaxe]

Sounds good! I'll make sure to bring all my supplies, too. ✿
