er.

well it's not necessarily about me.

but it's really long. definitely long.

[digophelia]

Ah, so I see. Do you not know how to braid hair?

[sundroplet]

no???????

I don't think so.

[digophelia]

It's not that hard! But it would be very hard to describe it with just text, I'm afraid. I think I can draw something out for you to fix that.

[sundroplet]

You draw???

if you draw it for me I can maybe sorta draw you the hair in question.

without the person attached to it.

[digophelia]

Oh, yes, I love to draw.

It shouldn't be that much of a bother, it's better to have something to explain it visually rather than have it be written, I feel.

[sundroplet]

I draw too! I really like to! did you find much paint here? I found a little but I still need to find more.

[digophelia]

There's paint here? I never knew! I've been drawing with just regular pencils and paper, I'm afraid.

[sundroplet]

I made some myself! I could maybe make more. we need to try and find things to make paint with. I brought some with me and then made some more. you could take some!

[digophelia]

There were people who used to make paint out of minerals and plants long ago. I am not sure what pigments are made of or the oil used with them.

Are you sure I can? I don't have anything in return.

[sundroplet]

you'll teach me how to braid hair.

that's sort of really important. I don't think I can do it myself but maybe I can show someone how to? if I'll know myself.

[digophelia]

You're right that is a fair trade in exchange for paint.

[ she takes a moment to arrange things so when she turns to video she'll hear her voice but will only see the painting on her wall. ]

Um. something like that?

It's so lovely! And vibrant! The colors are beautiful!

[ One of the few things Alice enjoys and takes pride in for her own enjoyment is drawing. It was the first signs of her mind coming back into reality and the roots were painful. Regardless, she shifts -- no, she scrambles in her organized chaos to pull up her pencil drawing.

As silly as it sounds, a social exchange like this has her excited. It's the cat, of course. ]

I'm afraid it's not as colorful as yours.
