[That says a lot by itself, doesn't it? That she's still alive. Anyway, her smile doesn't falter as she focuses her attention on her sewing. Maybe she'll use some differently-colored thread...? No, black thread will really pop against all the other colors.]
I don't get how a lot of it works.
[She got used to getting little hints from Theo or Igor or Pharos or Ryoji, but here...? Nothing.]
[With that, he gave a pause. Not knowing what to say or do, he wondered if he should have said that or not. As he wondered to himself, all he could do was just continue to stare at the needle and then back at her.]
...Which is frustrating when all we can do is sit down and wait.
[Especially when he was usually on the sidelines. When everyone else was doing their jobs as the shadow operatives, he just waited until something just...happened.]
[She flashes a smile across at him. There's no point being sad or complaining, especially not to Ken. He already had to go through so much; she doesn't want to burden him with her problems.]
Things can be tough, but as long as we do our best every day, I think that will mean something.
[Ah, yes, this just served as a reminder just why Kotone did what she did to save everyone. She was someone who always tried to look on the brighter side of things. Now that he finally got the needle through the hole, a smile appeared.]
...I hope so because I would hate to disappoint people.
[She grins when he finally got the needle through the cloth and gives him a nod of approval before returning to her own sewing. She's content to sit in silence while they work unless Ken has other questions! She's here to help.]
[Again, she has way too much faith in him. But as a growing teenager, that was his own self esteem getting the better of him. However, as much as he wanted to argue it, he knew he can't. He couldn't win again her words.
With that, he began sewing said petals to the base. Although, that doesn't stop him from leaving a frustrated sigh or two at how difficult it was...!]
[It's okay to get frustrated! She glances up when he sighs, but doesn't interrupt. It's part of the learning process, she's pretty sure, and she trusts him to ask for help if he needs it. For this, anyway.
She'll give it another while, long enough that her own is nearly finished, before glancing up again.]
[Granted, the pieces could be a little better sewn. There were a few edges that could have been stitched closer but this was about the best he could make it. And yet...]
...Although, while it has seen better days, I think I wouldn't have it any other way!
[He couldn't help but laugh at how absurd it looked!]
