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.

Your assistance will be much appreciated. I have avoided using the machines because they look considerably expensive.

As for art, I prefer scenery. However I would not be against learning anatomy and portraits.

I quite understand; they're fabulously convenient things, as are the clothes drying machines, but can be a tad intimidating for those of us not used to them. And if you have anything that's especially delicate that you would still rather wash by hand, I could certainly give you a few pointers there as well.

As for art, my skills tend to be more on the side of performing arts. But I do know a bit about anatomy and how to use color for the right effect. And if you'd be interested in learning sewing, I could teach you a few things about that too; I've made more than a few outfits and costumes after all.

I would not consider my hands delicate enough for sewing, but anything else would certainly be welcome.

[smilingarmor]

Oh you'd be surprised, honey; I've seen a man built like a mountain at least manage the basics, and the rest is really just a matter of practice. And knowing how to do simple mending can help save money on clothes.

But in any case, when would you like to get together for lessons, hmm? I wouldn't want to step on any of your other teachers' toes, after all.

Perhaps next week, then?

[smilingarmor]

Next week should be just perfect. Any particular day and time? And should I come to you, or would you rather pay me a visit?

[crimsonflower]

Considering I am unemployed I will leave the day and time up to you. I have considerably more free time than what is reasonable. As for location, why don't I meet you? It will give me a chance to familiarize myself with traversing the areas.

How does late Wednesday afternoon sound then? I can give you a cooking lesson with dinner, then we can talk about the rest afterward, hmm?
