"How long will you be in town?" Axis asked. "Or do you live here? My apologies if you do… I don't get out much, so I'm not as familiar with the people who live here." He laughed softly.

"Well, I don't live in town, but I do live within about a half-hour bike ride. Though, if I'm to continue selling here, I think it would be nice to move closer." Emilia hummed some. The conversation was nice, and it was sweet to see Axis talking so much.

Axis nodded a bit. "I think there might be a pretty new neighborhood not far from here. Still building new houses and such. And there's a couple of apartment complexes around if that's more your style. I just live in my shop."

Emilia chuckled sweetly, nodding her appreciation.
"I'd love to afford my own house someday, but I think I'll be perfectly fine with an apartment."

"I'm sure you'll be well on your way to getting a house if you can keep baking like that." Axis laughed softly. "You're pretty much the only one who's actually gotten me to eat for a while. Although, to be fair, no one else exactly tries."

"Well, thank you for the sentiment!" Emilia smiled warmly, nodding some as Axis continued.
"Ah… Well, I am glad I was able to, at least. And it surprises me to hear that; you are a nice person, after all."

"I'm glad you think so. I don't generally make this much conversation." Axis adjusted his glasses a bit and sighed. "I rarely engage in small talk with my clients, after all. They just fill out a form and give it to me so I can make clothes."

"Well, if that's what you're most comfortable with I can completely understand. I myself don't always have the energy to do small talk. Still, I'm glad we've been able to." The woman brushed some of the hair out of her eyes, her smile never leaving.

Axis nodded a bit. "I'm glad as well… perhaps I should attempt to talk to people more often. You're kinder than most of the people I know, though."

Emilia placed a hand on her chest, smiling.
"You flatter me, my dear sir." This brought out a small, delicate giggle.

Axis rolled his eyes, although his small smile still lingered on his face. "Yeah, yeah. Most of my clients aren't incredibly genial."

"Ah… I see, then." Emilia let her hands fall back into her lap. It was nice, to see Axis smiling still.

"Not that they're all overtly rude, of course, just… curt. I'm simply being employed to make something for them. I don't have a personal relationship with many, if any, of my clients."

"Yes, I understand that. I don't really do either, if you could believe it." The woman hummed some, her fingers playing with the ends of her hair.

"Mm…" Axis was quiet for a moment, considering. "Some of them are nicer than others, naturally. But the relationship is always strictly professional."

"That's understandable. People can be like that at times." Emilia looked to Axis, offering a small smile.

Axis nodded a bit. "And I'm usually one of them, to be honest… I never really thought about talking to any of my clients. I never had any real desire to."

Emilia chuckled softly.
"Well, it was nice that you were willing to with me, then. This is really nice."

"Agreed." Axis nodded again and toyed with his sleeves a bit. "I don't really mind talking to people, contrary to popular belief. I just don't generally have anything to say."

"Lord, that's something I understand. I, ah… I'm not the best at communicating." Emilia hummed, looking up at Axis.

"Me either…" Axis laughed softly. "I'm not super familiar with pop culture or sports, so I don't have a whole lot to talk about that most people understand."

"Right?" Emilia said. "I know about, two things, and that's pretty much it." Emilia laughed some, running her fingers through her hair.

"I mostly just know about clothes and stuff." Axis shrugged. "I'm not great at a ton else. I've never been particularly interested in other things."

"Yeah… I don't know much other than my art and my food," Emilia admitted.
"It seems we have something in common there, then. We've both been able to get to make a living of things we love."

"Mhmm. I'm thankful that I get enough business to keep myself afloat, honestly. I thought it might go poorly for me. I do a lot of tailoring as well as flat out making clothing."
