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!

You too huh? If only we can teach them to mend their own clothing.

But thank you! And... if you have any tips on how to take out the stink in clothes, I would also love to learn. I don't know why, but one's clothes always seem to be... smellier than the others.

[burnbrighter]

Yikes! I can probably help with that. Is your friend taking care of themself? I don’t mean to pry, but there’s a lot to be said for personal hygiene, too.

[owlstral]

Honestly, I'm not sure right now. A friend that was very important of him is no longer here, and I think he's struggling to come to terms with it.

But even before then his clothes seemed to have some smell to them, so it's hard to say.

[burnbrighter]

I see. That's always rough, and everyone deals with that sort of thing differently.

But there are some shops around town that sell soaps and other things that might be helpful. I know of a few concoctions that are good for removing odors too, so perhaps we can put together some sort of care package? If he's missing his friend, maybe he will appreciate a gift.

[owlstral]

I miss her myself, but no one misses her more than he does.

Are you sure? I don't want to ask too much more than what you have already offered.

[burnbrighter]

I don't mind at all!

We're all a long way from home here, and I know what it's like to miss someone dear to you. It's like there's a hole in your chest that won't close up no matter what you do. Sometimes, a little bit of kindness is just what you need.

[owlstral]

Thank you so much!

You're right. Hopefully this helps him cheer up, if only a little bit. And I hope whatever I am taught helps my other friend from taking on so much herself.

Just let me know when to meet, and I'll be there.

[burnbrighter]

I’m free anytime. How about later this afternoon?

( ooc; I'm down to move to action if you want, or in light of the event, we can handwave shopping. Up to you! )

[owlstral]

Just tell me where we're meeting and I'll be there!

( ooc ; i'm down for action if you still are, despite the delay! )

[burnbrighter]

How does near the fountain in the town square sound?

( ooc; works for me! )

[owlstral]

Sounds good! Just look for a small white owl and you'll find us.

[ she figures that using hootle as a way for thoma to find them is easier than describing herself. after all, who else is going to have an owl perched on their head near the fountain in town square! ]
