[Hanekoma's grinning as casually as ever, but he looks a little flushed, and are those dark circles under his eyes?

That's definitely a drippy-looking nose. Maybe he shouldn't have been running around in short sleeves and sandals after all.]


Heyyyy! Had fun with your party?

I was just wonderin' if anybody out there's got tea leaves they're willin' ta trade. I prefer green, but I'll take black or herbal if that's what you've got.

[Thoughtful.] I can trade ya fresh eggs, meat, or --

[He turns the camera to display a half-finished tempera mural in black and white covering one wall of his room -- it's a boldly outlined forest of graffiti-style skyscrapers seen from above, dwindling down to tiny streets under a brilliant sky.] --we can work out a trade for some wall art.

[He pauses to stifle a hacking cough.] Speak up quick, just in case goin' out gets tricky again in a day or two!

I know right? Life doesn't always have to be so tough. [He looks a little concerned at the coughing fit but at least he isn't hacking up blood or anything.

He had pulled out his tea bag a little while back and was sipping it carefully. He woulda liked some sugar, but he isn't gonna bother Sanae about that, not when it was so scarce around here.] Yeah, I figured it would be since I run around a lot and am pretty good at wearing through my clothes...

What was her name? [Wait, what the heck was a first partner?]

Shiki Misaki. About your age, knows her way around a needle pretty well. [He grins, taking a few deep breaths of the steam from his tea to soothe the last bits of that cough away.]

Me, I can darn my socks, but that's about it. Never got inta fabric art much.

Maybe if she ever comes here I'll ask her about it. [Not that he's wishing for it or anything. This place isn't exactly that great.]

Yeah me neither, but I figured it'd be better if I tried at least mending my stuff. That way I don't have to be too much of a burden on anyone.

There's gotta be some people around here with the same kinda skills; just don't know for sure who they are. [He smiles around his cup and takes a gulp of just-cool-enough-to-drink tea.]

Been worryin' about that?

I might just have to ask around then! There are way too many people here for no one to know how to sew, ya know? [And now Sora is excited again. Because yay learning?]

Yeah, a little bit. I'm kinda used to being the one that people rely on. At least recently. Before I came here that is.

[He nods, and takes another gulp of tea to soothe away a threatening cough.]

Ya know, a lot of people seem ta think it's tougher takin' help than givin' it. I think it's all in what you're used ta doin', myself.

Yeah, I think I understand that. How they feel anyway. I've noticed that a lot of people refuse help, but if someone offers and you can't do it it's okay to accept help right?

More than okay, it's somethin' you've gotta learn ta do. If ya wanna work with other people, you need ta take help as easily as ya give it.

[He shrugs philosophically.] Doesn't make it any easier on your pride, but that's how it is.

[He nods.] Teamwork is really important. My friends back home taught me that! I guess it's kinda difficult to work as a team when you're mending a pair of shorts though...

Sometimes you gotta put your pride aside! [He has trouble with that himself some times, but only when it came to people he didn't like.]

Depends on how much help ya need threadin' a needle! [He laughs, loudly enough that it dissolves into a cough.]

-- ha, don't mind me... You're right about puttin' pride aside. Sounds like you've got a decent take on the whole topic ta me.
