Hello, my name is Edelgard von Hresvelg. I have only been in Nippon for roughly a month, and I wanted to reach out to the community. I have not before lived without some form of assistance, so I am greatly uneducated in a few things that I am seeking help with:
1. Domestic Chores
→Cooking
→Laundry
I can tidy and wash dishes on my own, but those are not particular tasks that require skill or knowledge.

2. Employment, my skills are as follows
→Organization and Management
→Stamina, strength, and martial prowess
I can offer myself as a chess partner, a bodyguard for exploring, and I am able to memorize details very well. How the last may be utilize I will leave up to you.

3. Art
I am looking for models or mentors. I cannot pay in money just yet, but I am willing to offer other means of payment through bartering or services. My paltry skills need improvement and I am unsure I can teach myself the basics without assistance.

Before I conclude this message, I would like to preemptively apologize for any delay in my own responses. I am attempting to teach myself how to type efficiently on this device.

No, it becomes expensive very quickly.

Would this be your first time learning how?

[crimsonflower]

I was occasionally given kitchen duty while studying at an academy, however it was not enough to actually learn anything.

[So like twice, three times max before they gave her other things to handle.]

[charredflame]

I see. So we can start at the very beginning.

I'm not very busy, so choosing when to begin would be at your leisure.

[crimsonflower]

I am unemployed and not beholden to a schedule yet. I would be appreciative of starting right away.

[charredflame]

That's fine with me. Tomorrow, perhaps?

[crimsonflower]

That would be lovely. Where should I meet you? I would like this to be convenient for you, since you are the one providing a favor.

[charredflame]

I can give you directions to where I'm living, if that's all right with you. I have most of what we would need to start.

[crimsonflower]

As long as you don't mind a stranger knowing where you live, that should be quite alright. Is there anything I must do to prepare?

[Should she bring her ax to the kitchen? She thinks she should.]

[charredflame]

It's fine, I doubt you'll spread my address around. And not that I can think of. Maybe wear something you don't mind getting dirty.

[not that he thinks it'll go that badly, but it's best to be prepared anyway]

[crimsonflower]

[...Ah. She'll have to wear the clothing item she ruined which prompted her final breakdown to ask for help.]

Then I shall see you tomorrow evening. May I make one request?

[charredflame]

Of course. What is it?

[crimsonflower]

If we are to cook a protein I prefer poultry, fish, and eggs.

[And while farmed beef or pork is better than wild boar, rabbit, or venison it still hasn't agreed as well with her stomach since she was 10.]

[charredflame]

I prefer chicken myself, so I'm fine with that.

[crimsonflower]

Wonderful! I very much look forward to our session.

[charredflame]

As do I. Until tomorrow.

[and send privately is an address and directions to where he's staying]
