apologies again!

By what they give you, or the amount of work they do, or..?

[Eilonwy had some more tea and listened, her eyes lighting up a little.] Oh, that was very kind of him. I've never made toys, but some of them look very time consuming. [Board games, not as much, but any kind of dolls, even the rougher ones she was used to seeing looked like they could take weeks if not longer to make.] Some of them are also very detailed, actually! I've seen dresses made- [She frees her hands long enough to make a shape roughly on par with a fashion doll's height] To this scale, which has been surprising.

[magusrobin]

One or the other… or maybe both? I honestly can’t say. Just… it teaches you things you didn’t know before.

[She certainly wouldn’t have thought Elias would have had the patience to make a stuffed bear from scratch. The likelihood that some sort of magic existed to help with the creation seemed much more feasible, so the fact that he had created the bear for her by traditional means? It meant more. Even so, she would have been fine with the other method too.]

[Chise blinked in mild surprise at Eilwony’s explanation.]

That small? I wonder how they do that…? I guess it must be the measurements or something… but I think that would almost be more complicated than a full sized garment. I should ask Sylky when I get back…

[waterfawn]

I can't either, to be just as honest.

[Eilonwy laughed a little and had some more tea. There was sort of the same idea around books in Prydain. The printing press had made creating them much easier, but hand copied ones were sometimes more valued. It was probably the same with clothing, and Eilonwy thought to her sewing machine for a moment before she came back to the conversation.]

Personally, I wouldn't be surprised if they asked the fair folk to help. The stitches must be very tiny! Is Sylky a friend?

[magusrobin]

[Chise wouldn’t discount getting the fae to help with such small stitch work.]

I wonder what they would need to exchange for their help. Though there are some fae that enjoy housework, so maybe it’s that kind of relation.

[She nodded softly.]

Sylky is a Neighbor that lives with us. I don’t know much about her, and she doesn’t talk much, but she takes care of us. She’s been kind to me.
