@bitestail asked : Arys waves Naoto over , excitedly holding up a dark pink leather holster, made to accommodate a sword. It had a small pocket, and was finely stamped with small flowers; forget-me-nots to be exact. “Made this for your sword. S’got a damn strong magnet in there too to keep the pouch closed nice n’tight. Whaddya think?” -> unprompted, always accepting !
Naoto returned to Arys’s shop when he alleged that he had a serious matter requiring Naoto’s attention. Of course, Naoto being the good friend and customer that she is, heeded it with no hesitation - dropping all matters to show up at his door. She composes herself, prepared to hear any kind of news before entering the shop. Arys waves her over to the counter.
“I heard you needed me. Is something wr-”
Arys holds up the holster.
Naoto blinks a few times before the surprised expression on her face relaxes into a smile. “Arys…” She takes the holster, tracing the flowers in the leatherwork with her fingers. They’re blue flowers - her favorite color. She plays with the pouch, testing the magnet. It’s nice and sturdy, just as he promised. She undoes her present holster - a plain brown, leather one to replace it with Arys’s latest handiwork. It fits like a glove.
She slips her sheathed blade into place. Holds Inugami well, too. She twirls around, as if testing to see if the blade would remain steady. It does.
This makes her giddy.
“You’re so… when did you find the time to make this for me? I’ve been here every day and I didn’t see this! I love it… thank you.”
