Vaeri was focused on her work, so much so she seemed to have completely forgotten the others. She didn't even notice when Marut wandered off. She was thrilled her golden needles were sturdy and sharp enough to work with the leather. She decided a bright purple would suit the elf, to match her bouncy hair and since judging from her old clothing, she rather liked the color. To make the skirt as long as possible, she decided on a simple enough halter styled top that tied in the front and edged part of it with stitched together strips of purple and grey leather from her old outfit.
Since she seemed so active, one wouldn't want a wardrobe malfunction in the middle of action, so she took strips of purple and gray leather and stitched them together into a collar that would go around the neck, tied with hidden threads on one end, and cut thin strips of purple leather to attach from the bottom of the collar to the inside edge of the top, to prevent it from flying open whatever she may do.
The lass had a good figure, so Vaeri decided on a V-shaped belt to accentuate on this, done with stitched together strips of purple to make it wide enough. She was pleased to find with the halter design, she had plenty for a nice skirt yet it looked bare. She realized she still had a good spot of grey leather back, so she cut a loincloth panel to stitch to the front underside of her belt with a hidden stitch. A touch of Sun Folk fashion for her.
And of course she couldn't let the girl go about barefoot like a savage. So she used the last of the leather to make slipper like shoes, decorated with a small strip of purple in the front. Sun Folk also believed in the old adage of 'waste not, want not', especially in the desert with rare resources, so she fixed up Laluna's old arm sleeves, the one was mostly alright and only required trimming close to the elbow to remove the charred bits. Her other was more damaged, and only a little of it was salvageable, so she restitched a strip of purple to the remaining gray bit and decided the asymmetrical effect would look pleasing to the eye with the coloring being the same.
She was certain she could have made something much more beautiful in her own home for the girl, but she decided with pride this was a success, even with the unfamiliar materials. She swiftly ushered the girl into the bushes to put on the outfit and was smiling with pride when Laluna stepped back out dressed in her leathers. “Well the fit is excellent, I was perhaps a little worried about that. You're so much slimmer than I'm used to working with.â€
Tidemist meanwhile was enjoying exploring the edge of the new meadow. She had found more edible roots and herbs to put in the soup, and was marveling at the birch trees. She had never seen black and white trees like this! And their bark seemed so thin, it was curious. She was floating a little bit above the ground as she went around here and there, wondering if she would find anything interesting.
