Day 37: Arts and Crafts Room

Nov 24, 2008 14:12

Honey was relieved when breakfast was over.  Even though there'd been plenty of sticky-sweet french toast to be had, the company left him feeling a little inadequate.  Usually girls fawned all over him, but Callisto had been downright mean.  Had he done something wrong?  What kind of girl wanted to fight rather than play?  It'd only been a few days ( Read more... )

Normally Leon wouldn't consider 'Arts and Crafts' a valid way of spending his time, but today he actually had something useful he could do with the art supplies.

Most of the writing instruments seemed to lack the fine points he wanted for the detail work, so Leon settled on using one of the 'pens' given to all the patients. He chose a neutral colour of the thick, rough paper and set to sketching Chaltier from memory.

It wasn't hard. Leon remembered every inch of Chaltier's form perfectly.

[free! and just so you know, he's sketching his sword.]

((Hopefully you don't mind a creepy blond?))

Joshua was given to the artistic side of life, if he was allowed to say so. He spent a fair amount of time with them, and while the Shibuya aesthetic was a bit different from what 'normal' society went for, it was still artistic in its own right. Of course, the problem was that every artist needed tools, and what he found in this 'arts and crafts' room was rather... disappointing. Ah well; if all else failed, even if he didn't get to make anything himself, he could at least learn about who were those to talk about for such art.

There were a few, which Joshua found promising. But most of them were speaking to each other, and he did so dearly hate a crowd. Instead, he found someone off on his own, then walked up to the man, peering over his shoulder. A sword? Mm, a rough sketch right now, but better than nothing. He didn't say anything, of course, not yet, but that could come later. For now, he wanted to watch someone work.

Leon noticed everyone who passed by him within arm's reach, but ignored those who kept going without pausing. The boy who stopped and started looking over his shoulder obnoxiously and crowding Leon's space, on the other hand, quickly got his full attention. "Hey, back off."

Well that was a rapid, if not unexpected, response. Joshua grinned as he took a half-step back, hooking his hands in the waistband of his pants as he gazed at the artist. Not... much to look at, but who cared about external appearances?

However, in his current mood, Joshua couldn't help but answer in his usual teasing manner. "Is this far enough?"

Leon gave the intruder an icy glare but eventually decided that, despite the attitude, he had stepped back at least a little bit. He wasn't able to peer over Leon's shoulder now, either, now that Leon was facing him and had moved the drawing behind his back. Though there was no obvious reason for it, as the drawing was intended for one of the 'cooks' anyway, Leon felt oddly protective of the half-done image of Chal.

Hm... if anything, Joshua seemed more intrigued than intimidated by that icy glare. Firstly, because anyone who'd faced an insane Sho Miyamimoto wasn't likely to be intimidated by anyone's glaring, and secondly, because it was rather poetic. Blue eyes, frigid stare... if he had less artistic integrity he'd bring it up.

But he did have a fraction of that integrity, so instead he idly shrugged and grinned at the other man. "I have no idea why you're acting like that. It's not as though you're a bad artist."

"I don't need your approval." Of course Leon could make a simple technical drawing. It was necessary for an officer to be able to sketch with some skill--reports often needed maps or other illustrations in order to give a truly complete understanding of the situation. In any case, he'd always excelled at everything he turned his hand to, he'd had little choice in the matter--failures were punished swiftly. "What do you want?"

"Mm... well, that's a bit of a difficult question. I want a lot of things, after all." Everything from getting out of here and returning to Shibuya to just finding one interesting soul, Joshua's interests ran the gamut. For this particular scenario, though, what he wanted was a bit more questionable, wasn't it? "But for right now, I was just appreciating your work."
