[ The server at the counter passed them their drinks and Essek took a sip of bubble tea which was in essence not as elegant as it could appear-- the very act of sucking up bubbles was not, especially when he made an inarticulate eep as it was a surprise (i.e he did not know his own strength) however he quickly recovered. ]
I would be more than happy to fill any holes in your education; while healing powers are important, even healers must have need of some offensive capabilities, and Time and Gravity magic is fairly close to dark aspected magic.. [ Voids were consuming darkness, gravity was but a delicate grey area between light and darkness and what the world itself balanced upon ]
[Forrest just takes a moment to look the drink over, turning it around in his hands; it's pleasantly cold, and drinking it is likewise a pleasant experience - there's no real way to be dignified as he does so, but that's a problem he can think about at another time because this whole experience is delightful.]
I do intend to have some sort of offensive magic, but if you can teach me dark magic that my father doesn't - oh! there are little pearls in here, how lovely - sorry, that even my father is unfamiliar with, then I certainly won't say no. I'm not familiar with either Time or Gravity as a magical essence in quite the way you've referred to them, so I'm interested, surely.
Best to be careful with the pearls, they can catch you by surprise the first time.
[ And certainly Jimothy was preening, as the Kookaburra was wont to do when he was manning his shop and he saw many people coming in and enjoying himself, that earned Essek removing a pretty piece of ribbon from his pocket which Jimothy immediately pecked up to stash away. ]
You know, Jimothy is very much a fashionista too-- he is having me make him a coat, perhaps he would like something from you as well?
[ A nod in acquiescence to the magic, that would be arranged; he would arrange for an afternoon of magic, and maybe a little bit of fashion interspersed as well, the plans would make themselves, and closer to that point in time, Essek would tender the invitation. ]
Well, if he's receptive, I surely won't argue with taking him on as a client. In fact, I would rather enjoy the challenge that would come with such a thing.
It is the challenges that assist us in striving to be better in our craft, and I will let you talk with him at a later time frame so that you may ascertain his core aesthetic.
[ Essek took a sip of his matcha boba tea while offering Forrest a smile. ] I admit it was a nice outing out, and it was a pleasure to get to know you a little bit better, Forrest.
[ He lowers from his float to his five foot five frame; being rather short for a drow man, though he was short for any race really save for a halfling or a dwarf. ]
[Forrest is like an entire 5'6" and not used to being the taller person in an interaction; that's fine, though, god knows Elise is small and she could probably beat him in any manner of duels, so...]
It's been quite the pleasure indeed. Thank you so much for meeting with me, and for making arrangements as we have.
[ Despite his size, he was still formidable-- it was the aura that surrounded him; a no-nonsense aura. It was especially noticeable when he was anywhere within the vicinity of Caleb Widogast in which there would be no doubt at all who called the shots, and with Caleb being considerably taller.
Size mattered not in any interaction. ]
I hope that if you make anything, you show me.. as well as keep me abreast of your work on your portfolio, I am very interested in how you make something like that yours.
[ A smile and an incline of his head. ] I get a bit lonely sometimes, and I am only now comfortable enough where I may admit that, so company even if you come over and we work on sewing, I think that I would like that.
[He seems to realize after the fact that that was possibly a little much, but he doesn't seem inclined to apologize for it, either.]
I've... Due to the way I was raised, I've only frequently started having friends. It was a rather isolated, lonely existence, so any way I can help with such things in others I gladly will.
I think we are very close to wrapping this up if you agree!
[ And thus did the isolationist boys become friends, and it would be a glorious and absolutely heartening friendship, made up of fashion and quiet moments ] I think that it is something then that we both share, yes.

I'm glad to hear that.
