[He's ready and willing to spend all of his money on even more clothes. When he starves, it was worth it... for fashion.]

I don't think I've ever had anything made for me, even at home... It's all from shops.

[From the sale rack, because he's poor now, but never mind.]

Can I watch? I've got nothing else to do, so...

[theladyofwinterfell]

Watch? Most certainly. I cannot imagine that sewing is terribly interesting to the person who isn't doing the sewing but I definitely don't mind the company.

( Sansa enjoys Emil's company, all told, and he has become a friend here in Draega. She's never had a male friend interested in what he wears aside from whether or not it was clean so that's novel, as well, and amuses her. )

[He just loves to look good... it's his number one vice. Anyway, he settles in to watch her do her needlework; it really is interesting, at least in the sense that, uh, he objectively knew people did this but he's never thought about the process, you know? He's so spoiled.]

Hmm, I guess! I don't know how to sew, so it's the same as watching some other thing I don't know how to do.

Ah, well, my lady mother made sure I was schooled in all the arts the lady of a household might undertake. I can sew, I can sing, I can read and do sums. I'm not very good at sums, mind you, but I can keep a ledger.

( Sansa works on a particularly tricky bit of needlework and bites her lower lip, concentrating a bit. )

I took to sewing the most, as you can see.

[Ah, so she didn't have to face the terror of Public School. So lucky. Emil can read, and he supposes he could add and subtract if he really had to, more than one might on a regular day, but...]

I hated lessons when I was younger. My father made me learn the piano, and it was terrible. [hmph] At least you can make something.

[theladyofwinterfell]

I find it soothing to work on sewing, honestly. I've never sold any of it before but Draega is different from being back at home. I was a lady of a castle there and I didn't have to worry about money. It's different here. I have to support myself somehow and this is the way I'm going to do it.

( At least it's something she enjoys doing and doesn't mind putting the hours in on. It's not something she'll be bored of quickly. )
