Being extremely devoted to learning and training so that she could prove herself worthy of the title of Aes Sedai, Imoko did not allow herself such breaks all too often, but she did aim to enjoy them to the fullest on the occasions when she did, and this one was quite great indeed!<br/><br/>A light pink glow flushed through her pale cheeks when Aleana gushed about the inventiveness of the puzzle box and even went on to browse some of the larger and more complex examples. "They are all depictions of real locations, I assure you," Master Shinro chimed in softly from the bench where he was working on the other side of the small workshop, addressing Aleana's question about the landscape depicted upon one of the boxes. Imoko knew the rest of the details, so she explained further, "Master Shinro's grandson, Jurou, travels back and forth between Tar Valon and Shienar, trading goods and supplying the rare materials required for his grandfather's crafts. He takes some of the unfinished boxes with him on his trips, paints them on the way and brings them back as you see them. He is very talented!" she exclaimed with a little more excitement than she'd meant to, almost swooning before catching herself and tilting her gaze towards the floor, her blush intensifying slightly.<br/><br/>Imoko's embarrassment was short lived, however, since the Keeper changed the topic with her next question, for which she was grateful. "Ahhh...I try to create some, but I require more practice, my skill is still quite poor," she replied humbly, putting her hands together so that her two draping sleeves joined together and hanging her head briefly as if with shame. "With accessories I am better, hand fans especially!" Separating her hands again, she flicked her right wrist to reach within her sleeve, swiftly and gracefully producing one of her hand made fans. With another flick of Imoko's wrist, the fan unfolded with a brief rustling followed by an audible<em>pop</em>as it reached its fully open position. Its colors matched those of Imoko's dressed, though somewhat inverted, with the background being white and the silhouettes of branches in navy blue with dozens of little cherry blossoms flourishing all over them.<br/><br/>As quickly as she'd produced it, Imoko put her fan away and shuffled over towards a large basket with the tips of several handles sticking out from the top. Peering down into the basket, she rifled through a few of the handles before settling on one in particular and pulling it out to reveal a traditional Shienaran umbrella (http://i.imgur.com/klynEp1.jpg), which she fully opened up before placing the shaft against her shoulder. "Wagasa," she named the item, giving it a little spin as well so that the many bamboo spokes all blurred together. Twirling around herself so that her back was facing towards the Keeper, Imoko gave the Aleana a better look at the intricate design decorating the oiled paper. "The rain makes a lovely sound against it when it lands," she added almost wistfully, struggling to recall the last time she'd even been out for a walk in the rain.
