Who: Juvia Lockser (lacuscular), Lance (competing), and Rin Okumura (demonly)
What: Preparing gifts for Juvia's in-stasis friends, with food a la Rin.
When: Early September-ishh
Where: Rin and Juvia's home!
Warning(s): N/A.


[ After the successful retrieval of her hat, Juvia planned a special day with Lance (and by proxy, her roommate) to work on making gifts at her quaint little house in Olympia. Even though she's not all too open to houseguests, she still makes an effort when events like this crop up.

It's why she's meticulously cleaned an already clean house with Rin, set up everything she's done so far on their coffee table, and prepared a few pillows on their couch in case their guest gets uncomfortable.

Juvia rearranges the clothes on the table just one more time, staring a little too intensely at it. It's clear from body language alone that she's thinking a little too hard about how to answer the door. ]

Rin, Lance should be coming any minute now.

[ A small whine of Rin escapes her mouth when he mentions her preparing for Lance's arrival. It's embarrassing!! But the tinge of red on her cheeks only manages to grow stronger as she waits for Lance's opinion.

It's terrible, honestly terrible, the way she shifts closer to their guest until he finally speaks. Until he finally gives his approval. ] Thank you..! Ever since we moved in, Juvia has been preparing these.. But I learned young, too, how to do things like this. [ there's something so.. so calming knowing u have a comrade in arms..thank u lance and rin ]

I would love it if you could add more, Lance. [ She clasps her hands together in front of her. ] Maybe, we can teach Rin how to help, together?

[demonly]

Oh - ya don't have to do that! I'd probably just end up wastin' a buncha yarn, anyway...

[ Everything on the table already looks so nice, he doesn't wanna mess it up by adding an inexperienced piece. So, he just peers a little more closely at the clothes, pursing his lips and quickly reminiscing about how hard it had been for him to learn his craft at a young age. Juvia and Lance sure are cool... ]

Can something like this really be that easy?

[competing]

[ lance just waves a hand in the air. ]

That's the great thing about yarn! You can't waste it so long as you don't cut it. Just give the end a tug, and you're right back where you started.

[ but thanks for thinking arts and crafts is cool, rin. ;A;

he turns to juvia then, slinging an arm around her shoulders in an effort to loosen her up. ]

Isn't that right, Juvia?

[lacuscular]

[ She finds herself nodding along to Lance's words, hoping Rin is encouraged enough to not be all too scared to venture into this big world of knitting with them.....

Juvia doesn't expect the arm around her shoulders-- it does the opposite for a few seconds, making her stiff at the contact. She manages to relax a little when she decides to smile in his direction. ]

Yes. He's right. It will be very easy having the both of us help you, Rin, if you wish to learn.
