Are you sure you know what you're doing, deary?

Hehehehe! Oh, I'm not complaining. It might be nice to go abroad and set up shop somewhere new, for a spell. Hold a Grand Opening sale! Heehee.

Oh, but that thing you mentioned--teaching, yes that--that sounds like it could be fun! The promise of a steady income in quite tempting.

Now, are you interested in buying this handsome mug, miss? [She holds up a thick cup decorated like a standing bear.] I know you need a new one~♪

Man, what's your obsession with bears, lady?
Yaknow I think these knick-knacks would look MUCH more cute and marketable with a good ol' lagomorph theme!

[bearablefate]

An artist has to have a style, deary! I couldn't create bear-themed carvings and novelties without the bear!

Though, if you'd like to inquire about special orders...

[thebluebird]

A shop? What sort of shop?

[That's a nice mug. Luna can't take her eyes off of it.]

A shop where you have to teach, too?

[bearablefate]

Yes! [The old woman perks up, picking up a sign she chiseling out. It spells out THE CRAFTY CARVER using bears in cartoon-ish positions. The sign is surrounded by fancy knotwork.] The Crafty Carver: home of bear-themed carvings, novelties, and custom orders, restocked and ready for business!

Though, this young lass--oh, what do you call them--mundanes? She had a fine little idea of me traveling across the sea to teach woodcraft! Doesn't that sound lovely?

[thebluebird]

[Gasp!] Woodcraft - You carve things into trees?!

[Considering there are very few trees left where she's from, this is quite a shock! But that must mean there are a lot of them where the old woman lives, which is a good thing...]

How beautiful! It's just like magic.

[bearablefate]

[That word]

Ohohoho! Don't be silly; it's more like carving things out of trees! Wood couldn't be magic! That's not possible.

Hoooow abooout--[The old lady hobbles over to a table, then scurries back over to Luna.]

Here, look at this adorable piece! I'm willing to sell it to a nice lass like you, 70% off! See, it's a box. [She pushes on one half of the back, and the bear splits vertically, the eye actually being a hinge, to reveal a hollow inside.]

[thebluebird]

Ahhh! It's so cute!

[She's absolutely stunned. It's the most adorable thing she's ever seen. She wonders if someone handmade her pendant, too...]

I-I'm not sure if the Doctor and Miss Kurashiki would be happy if I spent our money on this, though...

[righinn]

Erm, what exactly would you be teaching and where, now…?

[ because she'd like to remind her mundane to avoid the place like the plague if possible. ]

[bearablefate]

Ah, hello and welcome again, lass! She called it the 'Xavier Institute of Higher Learning', and suggested that I take up a position there teaching youngsters about the beauty of wood carving! Doesn't it sound exciting?
