[~echo~]

Kai looked up at him. "Do you have any jobs coming up?"

[Light]

"One, in the north," he answers, "guarding a caravan,"

[~echo~]

She nodded as she sewed, her needle whirring back and forth swiftly with the prowess of a practiced seamstress. "Interesting. I wish I could go something like that?"

[Light]

"It's going to be cold," He says, looking at her with listless eyes, "It's not like going to the east and messing with the merchants there. There's going to be large animal and bandits."

[~echo~]

"Oh," she said, silently berating herself that she hadnt thought of that. She continued to sew while she listened to him talk.

[Light]

"Mhm," he dips his head, "but the village in the mountains in quite a sight. I've been there once or twice to pass thru to the land beyond,"

[~echo~]

"Im sure it's nothing like what's around here."

[Light]

"yes, its quite different. Like a winter wonderland..."

[~echo~]

She chuckled. "Still sounds like fun."

[Light]

"It does," he agrees, "Just wish the trip there wasn't so perilous for my clients."

[~echo~]

She nodded as she tied the piece of thread and then snapped it short with her teeth. "This one is done!"

[Light]

"Hmmm?" he looks over it with a small smile, "it looks good,"

[~echo~]

She smiled. "Thank you," she said.

[Light]

"Mhm," he relaxes back on his hands, looking over the quilt again.

[~echo~]

(Should we timeskip?)

[Light]

(sure :3 how far?)

[~echo~]

(Perhaps when Kai gives him his quilt?)

[Light]

(Mkay)

Time skip

Rain had left that evening, and seemed to have wandered off on the job he had spoken of. He didn't return until a moon had passed, his uneasy presence on her doorstep. He slowly raised his hand to knock, not knowing if he should or not.

[~echo~]

Kai had spent this month sewing quickly, not knowing when Rain would return. Currently, she sat in a high-backed, uncomfortable chair. She held a lovely bit of cloth in one hand with the rest of it draping down to her feet like a skirt and in the other a needle and thread.

[Light]

He finally sighs and knocks on the door, "Kai? Are you home?"
