She knotted off the loose threads of her new book and pulled out the guts and skeleton of another to be prepared. Later, she'd need to find paints to label the worn-out leather, but that was a task for another time. Her tongue poked out from the side of her mouth as she worked the needle through the binding, through the pages and back out once more without pricking her fingers. She couldn't sew a piece of clothing for beans, but books...books were a different story. Each book made by the Horzana's hands were done expertly and carefully, with love in each tug and push of the needle and string. A white-tipped finger ran across the edge of one cover, adjusting the placement before popping the thin metal through it again.
Sankara refuted her words about an easy life with a chuckle, causing Krystalle to glance up and raise one solitary eyebrow. "Don't think we gotta work hard at all, mi querida. Alessci provides things when they're needed, so no one's really gotta do much," she explained. Mother Alessci, Goddess of her home, wasn't worshiped by the Latina any longer, yet she still quoted her teachings during her youth. Their religion aimed for love, and her home spent most hours dwindling away in a drug-induced haze and sexual encounters. There was no time for hard work.
She glanced toward the grey wolf and tilted her head to the side ever so slightly at her offer to see the 'epic fail'. Not entirely sure what the epic fail was, but assuming it was whatever mess she'd made as a home, the doggish hybrid let out a chuckle and gave a nod. "Sure. Show me, chica." The needle was left laced in the thread of the binding and it was all put back into her well-worn bag for later.
