"I know lots of math already and don't want to go and show other people right now I think."

"OK."

So they split up for the afternoon classes. Fika's with three other girls at an old lady's house helping her keep things untangled and under instructions to wait for three rows to go by before asking a question out loud in case it turns out you can figure it out on your own.

She's gonna try making something with some of the fabric herself, what's around for her to use?

Permalink

Nothing! Reaching for the fabric basket gets her hand swatted away with the grandma's shuttle! "Watch and learn, don't rummage!"

Permalink

"Um. I'm gonna make somethin'?"

Permalink

"Not with my fabric you're not!"

Permalink

"Oh, okay?"

Maybe there's fabric somewhere else, or at least some grass or somethin' she can make fabric outta.

If she wants to quit the class the old lady doesn't care, though one of the other girls says, "You don't get credit for the class if you don't stay and behave!"

Permalink

"Credit?"

Is this like that money thing.

Permalink

"Yeah, it doesn't count."

Permalink

"For what?"

Permalink

"For like getting paid and getting apprenticed."

Permalink

"You get paid for watching?"

Permalink

"Only if you stay and behave!"

Fika thought she knew how getting paid worked but now she doesn't think she does! Regardless, she doesn't actually want money.

"I'm gonna go make my own fabric things." she says, heading out.

Nobody objects further to her departure.

Fika is gonna start making a quick blanket, a sort of amalien blanket that's easy to make quickly outta plants and is still sorta fuzzy - an amalien named Mina invented it for Meelia awhile ago. It involves braiding grass and things.

She'll have to go a ways out of Velora to find substantial amounts of grass but nobody will stop her.

She's been having fun exploring new cities lately and this one is fun too!
