2nd sketch - [action]

[sketchingideals]

[One good thing about being taken here is that Jeb hasn't run out of inspiration for art. Currently, he's found a nice place to sit and draw the surroundings around him.

Feel free to approach him, but don't be surprised if he doesn't hear you at first or jumps when he does. This is something that steals his focus very quickly.]

[Oh you humans and your drawing, do you really have nothing better to do? How mundane.

Expect to see a youkai quite blatantly staring over Jeb's shoulder. If he doesn't notice straight away it's going to get to the point where Yuuka's green hair will obscure his view sooner or later.]

[sketchingideals]

[He doesn't notice just yet, but it's only a matter of time before he does.]

[floralphantasm]

[Still staring.]

...

[And she makes a grab for whatever he's drawing on!]

May I have this~?

[sketchingideals]

[He jumps, definitely startled as he tries to keep a hold on what he's drawing on.]

N-No!

[floralphantasm]

Oh, that's a shame~ It's such a creative piece of work, I simply must have it. [No she doesn't. All lies.] Is there any way you might part with it?

[sketchingideals]

It's... it's not even done... [He's a little flustered now, and maybe a bit too trusting.]

[floralphantasm]

Is that so~? But it is overflowing with artistic talent, even at the stage where it is still growing before the final blossom. I'm sure someone such as yourself could replicate this piece in mere moments~ [Come on, she knows you humans love that flattery stuff. Is it working?]

[sketchingideals]

I'm not that good... [It's working a little, it's just that self-esteem issue that's getting in the way.]

[floralphantasm]

Come now, such modesty. If I may~?

[Reaching over, she points at random parts of the drawing.]

These parts are drawn by a very skillful hand, I can really see how you captured... The 'essence' as it were of the scenery. Do you not see it~? It really is quite amazing. [Except not.]

[sketchingideals]

I think I've done better before... [But he's beginning to believe her, all too trusting.]

[floralphantasm]

[Sigh. This is taking longer than she anticipated.]

You really are quite the epitome of artistic ability then. To be able to create such dazzling work, but then best yourself by saying your previous works are of a higher standard~

[So now she's going to try again at grabbing the drawing, only this time slower so it looks more as though she's taking it, rather than snatching it.]

[sketchingideals]

...I guess I could let you have this one. But wait a second, okay? I'll tear it out.

[She just seems so nice...]

[floralphantasm]

[Going to pull her hand away now then.] Very well then. I can't wait to get my hands on such a beautiful piece of work~

[sketchingideals]

[Carefully tears the drawing away from where it was bound.]

[floralphantasm]

[And once the drawing is free she takes it roughly and examines it.]

Oh yes, so professional. It is quite clear how much work has gone into it. Wouldn't it be a terrible shame if something were to happen to it~?

[sketchingideals]

Well, yeah, I guess it would be...

[It really would, but at least it wouldn't be one of his more personal works, right? He tries to see it that way. Why would she ask, though? She must really like it!]
