[Seonho listens carefully, feeling both relief and not some small amount of fondness when Mari makes it clear that she's been doing her best, despite the circumstances set against her. It couldn't have been easy. Even Seonho had found his own life stifling after he'd returned from the island. Fitting himself back into the same rules and constrictions had been difficult at first, so he can't imagine how it must feel for Mari, who's obviously used to freedom, having to endure the usual restrictions, and then all the ones for women too. It's yet another sign of how narrow his viewpoint is -- for all of his grand talk about making it a better world for others, he can't even begin to understand how it must feel for his own people.
Huijae would know, and yet, Huijae was no longer on speaking terms with him. Which was probably for the better.

There's no reason at all, but... he feels grateful that she wants to all the same.]
...Are you certain? [there's a smile in his voice, even as he asks] I've been told that my skill with the needle is pitiful to look upon, and my knowledge even more lacking.
[The sun is bright in the sky, but the heat hasn't settled in yet. It's really the perfect morning for an outing.]
