Lawrence is currently sitting at a chair somewhat near the fire, thick-rimmed glasses perched on his nose.

There is a worn copy of Arabia Deserta by C.M. Doughty in his hands. Still his favorite of Doughty's books, he'd told him that over and over.

Do bother him - he won't mind too terribly.

Mal has been sitting nearby for quite a while, a sketchpad in hand, trying out designs of swords. She's moved off her usual rapier, and has been experimenting with curving scimitars.

At least, before she started sketching the hand and arm attached to the scimitar, complete with robes. Occasionally, she'll glance up, trying to get the texture right.

Well, Lawrence has been drawn before and he can feel eyes watching him, so he simply stays mostly-still even while he sips his tea.

How odd.

She moves upward from the arm, now drawing from memory, trying to capture whirling robes and graceful steps.

Her hand slips, and she swears quietly, erasing a line.

He won't peek, but he does walk over to her and sit some distance away.

"Artistic difficulties?" He lofts a brow.

not_one_drop May 10 2006, 02:13:58 UTC

She glances up, smiles, nods.

"You," biting her lip as she carefully shades a patch, "are hard to draw."

almost_arabian May 10 2006, 02:27:37 UTC

"It's because I'm so dashing, you see."

not_one_drop May 10 2006, 02:30:58 UTC

"Oh, of course. Of course."

Begins his face, trying to get the look of concentration.

"Very handsome."

almost_arabian May 10 2006, 02:38:03 UTC

He grinned.

"Yes, you see. You are a very smart girl." Beat.

"You should really help your friend get more sleep. The one with the child."

not_one_drop May 10 2006, 02:39:58 UTC

"I am?"

A laugh, and then quieting slightly.

"Shufti. Yes. I suppose so. I've taken Jack before, for her."

almost_arabian May 10 2006, 02:41:40 UTC

"She's worried about you after the blood incident, I think."

not_one_drop May 10 2006, 02:43:14 UTC

"I know."

Takes a breath, exhales, gripping the pencil.

"We've talked."

almost_arabian May 10 2006, 02:43:47 UTC

He arches a brow.

"Yes, I know. And I did tell her that I think it's unreasonable for you to give up bloodplay completely."

He did, you know.

not_one_drop May 10 2006, 02:45:33 UTC

"Well."

A half-smile.

"Thank you."

Fiddling with the paper, as usual when she heals, forgetting to breathe for a moment.

almost_arabian May 10 2006, 02:50:47 UTC

He watched this curiously.

"It is my opinion, you see."

not_one_drop May 10 2006, 02:52:23 UTC

A breath. "Indeed?"

A quirked eyebrow.

almost_arabian May 10 2006, 02:53:59 UTC

"Indeed. Does it always take you such conscious effort to breathe, Mal?"
