You couldn't tell? I messed up so many times in the sock pattern. [ he'd made mistakes with all of the things he'd knitted, because sure he learns fast, and he can do things fast, but he's still not very experienced. ] I just didn't know what else to do.

[ you can't buy stuff for wealthy people. all the bats can afford whatever they want at home, and although they're not wealthy here, it still hadn't seemed like the right move. besides, he's still relying on alliance money, and it hadn't felt right to just buy things with money from an organization that none of them really agree with or believe in. at least he'd been able to transform the purchased yarn into something the alliance had no real hand in.

that feels like too complicated a thought to try to express right now, though, so instead he picks up a pillow to hug to his chest, placing each finger with exaggerated care so he doesn't tear it. ]

I pick things up pretty quick. It wasn't.. s'posed to be weird or anything.
