Name: Justine
Date: July 9th
Format: Video

[Justine appears on the network with a pristine white scarf circling her throat and a pinky rosy hue brushing the tip of her nose. Her dark eyes are lovely and those who look close enough might see a brilliant dark emerald green circling her iris. Snow falls around her, thick fluffy flurries catching in her dark lashes. Her midnight hair is covered by a matching hat that's been woven with runes that Justine has yet to perfect.

She hadn't expected snow when she'd been feeling the onset of summer only a week or so before.]

Hello. [Her voice is soft and delicately sweet.] I would like to offer handmade scarfs and hats to those who need them. Mitten as well. None-cursed. I promise. [She has already had an awkward moment with an enchanted scarfs.] For purchase or borrowing.

Please let me know if you would like any. I can try and accommodate for claws and hooves as well.

CLOSE CR
(i.e. if she has spoken to you more than twice.)

I have a gift for you.

[Her voice is sweet though more excited than it had been during her announcement.]

Can you stop by?

[He's been listening to some of the other replies, but he has to know.]

I know you're saying you put holes for the claws, but... Is there any way you could make big enough mittens to hide the claws???

I can but over time they will fray and rip. There isn't a yarn strong enough to withstand without magic and I'm afraid I haven't perfected a spell for that just yet.

This snow was rather sudden.

Without any warning or preparation... I understand. People called it 'unseasonable' and asked for help clearing the roads...

Hey, does it have to all be yarn? What if you sewed, uh, something else to cap the claws? And covered that with yarn, to look nice.

That would make it more durable but the fabric will eventually fray and tear. It isn't something that can be completely avoided. [Through traditional means.] It happens to those of us with fingernails instead of claws too. Though, if that is a concern of yours, I could create something like that fairly quickly. [Justine is a skilled seamstress.]

It would be a decent substitute until I master a protective enchantment. Which could then be sewn into any pair of gloves.

[It seems well within the realm of possibilities even if Justine is just assuming right now.]

It's unavoidable, huh... [The magic of this world is really stubborn, it seems like.] Well, whatever you can do, I'd really appreciate it! I'll try not to wear them out before you get better at enchanting.

I just... want to not look at them, sometimes.

[Which isn't exactly the kind of sentiment to be bringing with him. Monsters need to accept their changes, or risk emotional turmoil - that could push into going feral. Going glove-free most of the time is better than outright denial, at least.]

I think I can manage that.

It will take a little longer to get them done. Why not come pick them up tomorrow afternoon?

T-Tomorrow? That's all?

[He's made his fair share of cosmetic adjustments to his clothes, and that's usually taken a couple hours. So he'd expect knitting or crocheting something from yarn, all the way into wearable clothing, to take even longer.]

Wow! That's so fast... And you've gotten so many requests already. Thank you!

Uh, what would you like... in exchange for them?

[She already has a few done. She just needs to make the adjustments he'd asked for.]

Not as many as you might think and I've thought ahead with a lot of this.

[As for cost...]

Money or whatever you might have. I can't easily go into the woods so I'll take herbs too. I can make a list for you if you're move comfortable doing that.

[Preparing supplies before ever offering them, that's thinking ahead. Clearly, Justine is a professional.]

How, uh, far into the woods would those be? I heard we shouldn't go exploring, unless we're bonded...

[And he isn't. It's not clear yet if things will get bad enough that he needs a bond - nobody's mentioned monsters exploding from lack of magic, just getting testy. And letting someone in so close that they can feel some of what he's feeling... even if bonds can be broken easily, it seems like a big commitment.]

I do have money, if it comes down to it.

I do not know but I do suggest that you're Bonded first.

[She's Bonded but doesn't have the strength for those woods.]

Money is fine.

[Justine prefer to trade with what people have and if money is easier to obtain then she'll take it.]

Yeah...

[Gathering greenery can wait for another trade, another time. At a time when he's made the plunge into having a bond.]

Well, then, money you shall have! Delivered by none other than me, in hand, for a trade-off. See you tomorrow?

Yes.

I will see you then.

[ooc: sorry for my delay. we can totally handwave him getting his gloves :D]
