sorry for the scatterbrainedness

He had been sober enough lately, for whatever reason. He had felt fairly guilty of being so useless to the Court, when they might need him. But they wouldn't. They wouldn't need them since no one really ever needed him at all lately. Useless, he was. But he kept himself busy for the past couple of days, pretending to be useful. He had not sewn very much lately, keeping his hands busy with his sketchbook and the charcoals. He had learned to make the charcoal himself, but his last batch had been large and he had a pile of the sticks left. The paper was dwindling but what could he do. Maybe he'd go out and find some pale bark and use it. No, that was silly. He'd just find some more paper in Halifax or Lunenberg.


Maybe it was time to actually sew and make sure his fingers were done shaking from all that alcohol. Needles were not his friends a few days ago, when he tried to sew a hole closed and his hands shook too much, which made him poke himself in the hand with the needle. Now, clean for a couple of days and his hands were steadier. His eyesight was better, considering the world was not spinning as much as it used to. But he knew that once his emotions spiraled down again, the bottle would become his closest friend again. Next time, though, it might not let go of him at all and he'd find himself lost in the drink till the end of his days.


He took the latest of his sketches, a light airy dress for a younger girl. It had been only so that he could have some clothes for younger shifters. If he was going to lose himself and leave himself useless, he ought to do something good for the rest of the pack. Clothes for the younger members would be good, if it was the last thing he did. He wasn't sure what colors he wanted, so he had simply put a few swatches next to the sketch for ideas. But as he was leaving, he caught sight of a white pelted woman with eccentric colored mane and tail. He paused, furrowed his brows, and saw the book in her hands. And she was searching for someone. "Do you need some help?"
