I see. It's nice to meet you. [Oboro expected his youth to be a concern for many, but he dealt with the issue by never prompting it himself. If he didn't act like a child, no one would treat him like one - or that was the idea.
On the occasions his age did come up, he'd spend as little time on the subject as possible.]
I'm in limbo. [He corrected Jefferson as he walked inside. Taking a look around, absolutely nothing was familiar. He'd seen this style of clothing on some residents around town, but that was the extent of his experience.] Where would you like me to start?
Ah! Limbo. Well, that's not so bad. [ Somehow, that makes Jefferson feel better. Apparently, the shreds of decency in him were unsettled by the idea that a kid would be damned for all eternity. Who knew he had it in him?
He walks a few paces into his shop, then pauses in his steps. The boy wants to get right to work? Jefferson has no idea where to begin. He was hoping to stall as long as he could. ]
Whyyyy don't we start wiiithhh... [ As if drawing words out will help him out here. ] ...what you know already. What skills do you have?
Mmn. ['Not so bad' was one way of putting 'actually pretty nice', Oboro supposed.
He was told to come here and work, so that was what he intended to do. Even if the request hadn't come from Josh - a man he was dedicated to - Oboro wasn't one to shirk or stall when it came to labor.
Jefferson's question was a sensible place to start, though, so Oboro would curb his assertiveness. He looked around again, trying to spot anything he recognized. He found nothing - he'd have to start with more general skills.]
I know the basics of cooking, I've been practicing with a knife, I'm adept with housekeeping, I can tend to animals, and I have fairly good aim. [He rattled off the list with confidence, though he wasn't sure how any of that would help in a workshop like this.]
I've used a needle, but not on clothes. [And that was all the detail he needed to give, wasn't it?
There was no point in delving into his time as a hospital orderly, working as an assistant to sew wounds shut. Though, he'd completed most of his assignments there without complaint.] I have a very steady hand, so I'm confident that I can learn. [Oboro added the assurance with confidence. He'd always taken care to be precise, and if he could sew skin, surely clothes wouldn't be too difficult.]

APOLOGIES. This tag got lost in the shuffle
...
But he suspects that if he uses the kid as a glorified housekeeper, Josh will hear of it and then pester him some more.
Jefferson truly is the victim here. ]
Oh. All right. So... have you ever used a needle and thread?
its all good ;u;
