You could do it in the North if you wanted, I think. People keep a book up there to record the events that have happened so I know it's possible to write, anyway.
So I've heard, but, er, that's easier said than done, for me... I haven't got anything like Raven to protect me, and I'd feel bad making Diva take me there just because I'm bored and want to doodle. [ even though Diva has literally done the exact same thing to him before... ]
he also doesn't know how to tell Garry "actually I usually don't use Raven because he is huge and would probably collapse the tunnels".] I could take you the next time you want to go, if you want. Or you could come along - we go on trips to the North and East every fourteen days, or around there.
[it's going to be a missed opportunity he will forever regret!!]
It wouldn't be. There are people who want to go through to the other parts of the city for all kinds of reasons. It doesn't matter what, really. [as long as it isn't HARMFUL.]
I don't know... It sounds like a lot of work just to let me fool around with pencils and paper. You're very kind for offering, though... I'll have to think about it.
I suppose so. I don't really get up there too often, so... [ Garry trails off, then holds up his handkerchief, eyeing it critically. He's done two edges now. ] Does this look about right?
[his attention shifts back to the kerchief at that, since clearly it is more important than discussing whether or not Garry will be dragged along on their next tunnel adventure (because he will be either way!!)]
—That looks good. Do you want to use that pattern for the whole thing or try something else?
Hah... Wouldn't it look a little silly if I switched patterns halfway through? [ he asks, looking over at Gilbert with a smile in his eyes. ] But I think I could try something else. I've got some scraps lying around to practice on... This is fun! I haven't learned any new techniques in quite a while.
[that gets a brief pause from him and he glances down at his own kerchief.]
Ah, well... I thought that was a practice one, so... [so it wouldn't matter if it looks fug, obviously!! though it doesn't, and he doesn't particularly think it would look too doofy if the pattern was changed.]
I suppose that's true... I'm just used to making one complete finished product. Hmm... This one time, though, it won't hurt... Let's try something else, then.
All right. [YEAH NEW PATTERNS. he's the sort of person who tends to start like ten projects at the same time and work at them all on intervals, anyway...
so yes, he shifts his piece of fabric around to start demonstrating a new pattern.]
This one isn't all that different from the first. You just have to take care where you put the needle at the end because you want the end result to look like this... [demonstrating!]

Hmmm... If you want to challenge me, then I won't back down! Goodness knows I could use something to fill the time with.

If you wouldn't mind it, then. You might get bored, working on things like this for too long.
no subject
Well, boredom in Haven is pretty inevitable... Sewing is pretty much all I can think of to pass the time, since I can't draw or paint or anything.

Huh? Really? B-but that's so... well, it'd be awfully self-indulgent of me...

Anyway, you could always grab supplies while you're up there.
