[If this were a matter of archery equipment, simple blade sheathes, or harnesses... Hayame liked to think that she would know what to do far better. She did not brook with the more womanly crafts, she could not embroider or weave, but she could do repairs on her own tools and make simple craftworks...
Eyepatches, though. She's never seen one up close that wasn't just temporary bandaging. Even just the cloth she wore now bothered her. The knot was too tight and made her head hurt, or it was too loose and itching. It didn't sit flush enough on her eyelids to keep them closed, and open the raw, empty socket was irritated constantly by breeze and any hint of stimulation as it healed.
And he wants to know about... colors.]
... I have no preference.
[There's something in her tone there, but it may be difficult to identify- The difference between "I truly do not care" and "I never had the luxury of caring". She has only ever worn clothing picked out for her by the breeding stable grooms, or occasionally the stable master, when he set his women to gussying up the jinba before Exhibition Day when they'd be shown off before auction. In Horos, she had simply accepted the first thing she'd found with the right cut.
So what is she supposed to say? Black, because her hair is black? Brown, because her hair is black?

She does not know the first thing about fashion.]
