"Yeah… It's a bit nerve-racking. I'm always worried it'll turn sour." Emilia chuckled softly, shaking her head some.

Axis nodded and sighed. "It was hard at first to get business, but things are pretty steady now. And I can stagger commissions so that the money I get from them is more balanced throughout the month."

"Yeah. I do my best to do something similar, but most of my income comes from my baking, and not my art. A very day to day thing." Emilia hummed some, looking at her wagon.
"And it gets more expensive since I don't sell day old- only fresh."

"Right." Axis toyed a bit with a lock of his hair. "And I have to keep buying new fabric since I can't always use what I've already got… so I just have tons of scraps everywhere."

Emilia nodded to this.
"It'd be nice to figure out how to use the things we've got left over, huh?" The woman looked up, humming.

"Mhmm. I'd make quilts or something, but not all of the fabrics are soft, and I keep thinking that I might need the scraps for something."

Emilia nodded some.
"That makes sense," she agreed. "Hm… ever thought of making doll's clothes with the ones you can't use for quilts? Or is that something you'd rather not do?"

"I've been asked to do it before, but I've never done it just for myself." Axis shrugged a bit. "I don't own any dolls and I don't have any kids or friends who do, so I've never really needed to unless I was commissioned."

"Right. That makes a lot of sense." Emilia smiled some, adjusting on her seat.

"I've made hats with extra bits of fabric before. Socks, sometimes shoes depending on what fabric…" Axis considered with a soft hum. "I try to come up with creative ways to use stuff."

"That sounds good. I have a hard time figuring out how to repurpose my goods. Usually I just end up donating them to shelters, or food drives that take this kind of food." Emilia smiled a bit.

Axis nodded a bit. "Mhmm. I've donated clothes before… I have a lot of extra stuff after all, so I figure I might as well."

"Yeah. It's nice to be able to give back." Emilia looked up, letting out a breath.
"I think it's getting late… sorry for holding you up so long."

"No problem." Axis got to his feet and stretched. "It was nice talking to you, though. See you tomorrow?"

"See you tomorrow." Emilia offered one last wave goodbye, finally setting off on her bike for home.
