Hello, everyone. It's been a while since I've made an announcement like this, but I'm afraid I've been a little busy lately. I hadn't intended to stop taking clothing commissions, but I've been training with Lady Orihime over the past few weeks to learn more about creating divine raiments and it's been taking up most of my free time. I've finished my first major project, though, so I've got a little more flexibility lately.

I still won't be taking commission work until I've finished my training, but I do have enough time to open the temple up for beauty treatments. The pools in the garden behind the temple have healing properties and help keep skin soft, and I can also do hair and nail work for anyone who's interested. In addition, I'll be teaching a sewing class once a week at Hakkai's school. And once Lady Orihime is satisfied with my progress, I'll be able to start making clothing again too. So if anyone is interested in any of that, feel free to let me know and we can either set up an appointment at Lakshmi's temple or get you enrolled at the school.

[Forrest smiles, nodding at the feed.]

I'll be looking forward to hearing from you all!

Comments

[lostinshadows]

Oh, it's not so bad.

[He finishes one braid.]

Do you like doing these sorts of things, Forrest?

[clothes_make_the_man]

Making clothing will always be my first love, but I've come to enjoy this too. It's fun to help people look their best.

[lostinshadows]

Nothing wrong with that. Some people might need the help.

[A pause before he looks over.]

How's it working with Lady Orihime?

[clothes_make_the_man]

Everyone has a style all their own. Some people just haven't found it yet.

[Forrest nods, glancing back to Lavi.]

It's been wonderful. She's such a kind and patient teacher, and I'm learning a lot.

[lostinshadows]

Or haven't realized it.

[He finishes up another braid.]

That's good to hear. She is a good person, certainly been helping me making an outfit, too. I've never really been good with fashion, so. [A light shrug.]

[clothes_make_the_man]

Either way, those are the people I like to help look their best.

[Forrest nods at the braiding job approvingly.]

Yes, she's very generous with her time and talent. She's been a very good example to live up to.

[lostinshadows]

If you don't mind me asking, who have you already helped?

[Somewhat pleased, he works on making another braid.]

I would imagine so. Don't know if I can handle being her apprentice, though, admittedly.

[clothes_make_the_man]

Between clothing commissions and beauty treatments? It's a pretty long list.

[Forrest gives a pleased little laugh of his own at that.]

Her lessons are rather advanced. If you'd like to start with the basics, you're free to attend my classes at the school.

[lostinshadows]

Sounds like you keep yourself busy.

[He looks amused.]

No, thank you. I'll stick with learning how to do hair first.

[clothes_make_the_man]

I like to have at least one project going if I can help it.

[Forrest has always been the industrious sort.]

Well, you're doing just fine with that. All you need to do when you're done is tie it off at the end.

[lostinshadows]

Sounds like you just like keeping busy.

[He glances over.]

How do I do that?

[clothes_make_the_man]

Here.

[Reaching over, Forrest grabs a hair tie and slowly goes through the process so Lavi can see.]

Like this.

[lostinshadows]

[Watching the process, he waits until Forrest is finished and nods.]

Seems simple enough to do.

[clothes_make_the_man]

Would you like to give it a try?
