let's stick together just a little bit longer Softly, Kirko hummed to herself. The noontime sun hung high in the sky, illuminating the careful work she was doing. It's tedious, but maybe that's among the reasons she enjoys it so much. Deft, practiced movements as she separated the stalk of the lotus plants she'd collected the day before. Carefully coaxing them apart, and exposing the fine silk within. They were still fragile in this stage, sticky and wet where moisture was retained by the stem of the lotus itself. Nearly holding her breath as se teases the fibers apart. Working carefully, with the eye of a skilled craftsman. The very act of it reminds her of her mother. A dull ache lived in Kiriko's chest at the very thought of her. The koi had hollowed out an additional area beside her den to use as a workshop, and it was proving quite useful. Easier access, should anyone need to stop by to talk about orders (or anything else.) The living quarters and the working quarters, separate-- even if only by a small amount of bamboo. Time seemed to pass slowly, here. That was a comfort. If time passed slowly, then Kiriko had ample time to work with her silks. |
