[Even when she was a child, Jennifer hadn't minded chores. The tasks were often her only respite from the other children at the orphanage, and the repetitive tasks often helped her focus. She could let her mind wander a little, think about what needs to be done, what she could do more.

Everyone on this ship was just trying to survive. She didn't have any special powers, or strength to help with fighting, or any skills she could think of that would be particularly helpful with exploring the planet below or anything like that.

So, she sewed. She had torn clothes she'd found to practice on, to keep at least those skills, er, sharp (no pun intended), and repeatedly repairs, re-sews buttons, etc. She evens starts making some cloth dolls out of the scraps.

The first and only time, so far, she sticks herself with the needle, her startled reaction sends the needle flying, forcing Jennifer to carefully crawl about on hands and knees attempting to find it, patting carefully along the ground. Should anyone else come in, Jennifer is quick to look up, eyes wide]

Please watch where you step! I lost a needle, so... um... I'm sorry.

[Please don't get stabbed in the foot or something by accident plEASE]

[Gundam rubs his fingers over the decorative stitching on his scarf, listening intently. He can relate all too well to the terrible sensation of longing and loss when it comes to missing one's beloved pets.

Of course he had the resources and foresight to make arrangements for the care of his animals -- Jennifer doesn't seem to have been able to do the same. He finds himself believing her when she says leaving her demon beast behind leaves her with a piercing agony.]
