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!

How about a love song?
[He's a sucker for sappy stuff.]
We can relax in the garden together while you sing. I'm sure it sounds much prettier in person. And after all...
[A small smile, as he holds up a familiar pair of sandals.]
...I still have to give you back your shoes.

['After all'...? She tilts her head in confusion, and then her eyes go wide in delighted surprise] Ah, those! Lost them!
[She still doesn't like to wear shoes, but the sandals did help and Forrest had spent time making them for her, so she'd been a little bummed about losing them. She didn't really know how to go about telling Forrest she'd lost them anyhow, but thankfully this did away with the need to do so]
Will get them! Ah- You know? Got new shinki. Turns into shoes. [MAKES A FACE.]

[Forrest smiles, setting down her shoes and clapping his hands together excitedly.]
Ah... well, congratulations on the new shinki. I hope they're at least comfortable to wear?

[She huffs] Your clothes are pretty, so is fine sometimes. But would still want without.
Video;
[Poor Oona. He really does feel bad.]
Well, I'm sure you'll manage to work something out.
Video;
Anyway. Moving on, because she's curious] Why training with Orihime? Clothes you make are fine enough, what is difference?
[The difference between divine clothing and whatever he usually makes, she means.]
Video;
That's true, but if I'm not constantly pushing the limits of my own talents, I'll never be able to improve. I've already learned so many new things about fashion since coming here, and training with Lady Orihime has opened my eyes to even more possibilities.

[She taps at her mouth thoughtfully and then shrugs] Suppose.
Do you have goal? As in... Ultimate thing to make? A dress with all the colors in the world, or shoes that can make someone fly-- something like that?

[Forrest smiles, nodding back at her.]
I want to learn how to make enchanted clothing, the way Orihime does.
video;
Forrest, you are too nice. People will take advantage, you know. [Despite her light tone, it's a warning all the same.]
video;
[Go with what you know, as they say.]
It's all right. I'm not completely helpless, if it comes to that. But I also don't want to let that stop me from doing my best for others.
