stamp rally w/ neige!

Mayaka walks through the main building of the Cheri Berry guild carrying odd-sized pieces of wood in her arms. It makes sense that the guild would have plenty of spare material to donate towards Parvati's new project, and so she's here to collect a batch and continue working on her stamps.

She's wracking her brains to try to figure out how to get all this wood down from the treetops and back to town, until an unfamiliar Pokemon catches her attention. They look like a fluffy little cloud. Upon closer observation, she realises they're a bird Pokemon. The object they're currently focusing on looks very similar to what she's holding in her arms.

"Are you working on stamps for Parvati-chan too?" she asks the stranger.

When Neige saw Pavarti's request on the quest board, he couldn't resist giving it a shot--it just sounded like a lot of fun! Well, it sound here being the keyword. Once he actually started trying his hand (figurative) at it, he found it was much more difficult in practice.

Everything was harder without magic, in all honesty--not that Neige was ever opposed to old-fashioned hard work.

He currently has a square of wood clutched in one set of small talons, trying to work out the best way to keep it balanced while he chips away with his other set or with his beak, but even sunshine-and-rainbows Neige LeBlanche is starting to get a little frustrated.

"Oh, yes!" Looking up from what he's doing, he gives a sheepish little chirp. "Well, I don't know how productive I'm really being, but...it's such a fun project, I thought I'd give it my best shot!"

Looking at how the Swablu has to grip onto the wood to fashion it into a stamp, Mayaka is for once thankful that she got dealt with her poison claws instead. There must be a way to make it easier for him.

"That looks tough. Let me see if I can help. Oh, I'm Mayaka by the way."

She sits down cross-legged next to Neige and begins sifting through her assortment of wooden planks and pieces, as if looking for a specific shape.

"Really? Thank you! I'm Neige--it's nice to meet you!"

He relinquishes his hold on his work-in-progress stamp and hops just a little closer, watching her with obvious intrigue.

"Gosh, but you did come prepared. Parvati's going to be so excited to get that many stamps, if you're planning on making them all."

Well, if she can help him, maybe he can come up with a way to help her right back. Putting heads together to make a task more efficient could never hurt! Also, thinking about it that way makes him feel a little less...limited.

"Yeah, I figured it'd be better to get a bunch of different sizes and figure out what would work best for the shapes I have in mind."

Mayaka eventually finds a longer piece of wood and holds it up next to Neige, as if measuring the height of the Swablu with it. Then, she uses the sharp edge of her claw to trim it slightly.

"Try using something like instead. It should be easier for you to hold onto."

She hands the piece over to him. Being rectangular in shape, he should be able to grip onto one end with his talons, and comfortably peck and carve the other end of the wood without straining himself too much.
