"Yeah. There's a park nearby, or we can get to the roof?"

They could look at the roof? It would be good to know if there's somewhere closer by she can use. (...It's weird to think she can't just step outside. But this world is different.)

"Yeah! It's this way!"

And she leads the way, her friends following.

The view of the city is pretty nice, from up here.

Wow. She stares. 

But she has work to do. Is there sun? Can she see sun hitting any plants, that might help with this thread.

There's sun! It's mostly risen, the sky still a bit pinkish. Somebody also has a set of plants up here, a small attempt at a roof-top garden, which the sun is hitting.

And she can see some trees around.

"This should be good! I can try in the park later and see how much difference it might make." She gets out some of her tools - she can do this without them if she needs, but it's easier with them.

Gets to work. Remembers what she needs from the weaving, aims the making for it. She can use the still-partially-dawn while it lasts, then just the sun of the morning. (Between her fingers, the sunlight coalesces, something like fibers sparkling in the air and then more of the thread. This one looks slightly different from the other.)

Nausicaa's more interested than her friends. (This is pretty.)

Nausicaa is amazing and interesting. And pretty. 

But the way she's helping Nausicaa is her work so she will pay her attention to it.

She winds thread into more of the balls and little skeins she carries, then works on making more. 

None of the others seem to feel particularly talkative. Sue's off nearer the edge, looking out over the city.

If no one stops her, she will work for about an hour and a quarter. Then stop. "I should try it before making more like this. But have enough for the experiment, and emergencies, now."

"You can test it on me," Sakura volunteers.

Glance at Nausicaa that this is alright.

"Go right ahead!" is Nausicaa's contribution once she realizes Iryi wants permission.

Then she will. The weaving is easier this time, and faster. Hope and light and things-can-get-better.

Sakura waits, interested, and holds out her hand when prompted.

Like for Nausicaa it should start working while she's weaving. Making it a bracelet is a practical way to hold it after, while it dissipates more slowly. 

She gets feedback, as she works. Does it seem to be working?

If everything is well she'll complete and fasten on the bracelet.

It's working amazingly! Sakura feels pretty much ready to take on the world?

...Is that alright? If she's causing overconfidence or something like mania, that would be something important to correct.

She thinks it's fine, though the hope thing kind of is inherently confidence?

It's - when working with feelings, it's important where lines go? Some people are scared that something horrible will happen if they speak to their friends, and it's not really something more likely than it is for everyone else, and if they want it then someone who knows the work can help against the fear. But most people are afraid of jumping from a cliff without magic to help, and if she made someone not afraid of that and feel that it would be fine, that could kill them.

Confidence like - that things can get better and it's worth doing them, she was trying to do that. But confidence like, they can immediately face the terrible aliens and demand they be better and everything will go fine would mean she'd done something wrong and needed to fix it.

That's sensible! 

Maybe tone the confidence down a little then?

Alright. She will note this down for future thread-making.

Right now to fix it she can either unweave the work and start again, or see if she can fix it with a shadow thread. (Or weave a new one and then replace this one.)

Is Nausicaa also having this problem? 

Does Sakura feel like this is a general problem or a result of how it's interacting with how Sakura has feelings usually? (If she can tell at all.)

(She's trying not to feel horrible about the fact that she did something wrong. It's not really possible to do work and not have to fix and improve things, it just isn't, even craftsmages with much more experience than her might have to do that if they were trying something new and she's not them and she can't just send Nausicaa to them instead of to her.)

Sakura thinks she's usually prone to feeling overconfident when full on hope? It might be a system interaction? (Nausicaa feels the same take-on-the-world.)

System?

(Having endangered Nausicaa is horrible. But she doesn't know how she could have done better, not very, and if she lets this distract her from fixing it, that would be more horrible.)

"Our magic systems might just happen to interact like that, since whenever we clear our soul gems well we feel like that."
