The Amazing Spider Girl! #11 | Away from home too long

[thug_disease]

[There are no mass hijinks on the town today. No drawing on pavement, spinning webs around your porch (oh that's a good idea), destroying your yards or anything of the sort today. Today, as you pass through the park you'll likely happen upon one little blond youkai sitting on a park bench, looking rather frustrated and sad all at the same time

-Tir has, by now, looked at several of her attempts before finally speaking.-

They say an artist is their biggest critic... I don't suppose telling you how good these are will make any difference, will they?

[thug_disease]

No because I can't remember it right.

[Yamame's already working on another one, and doesn't even pause or look in Tir's direction when she speaks.]

[tenkai_soul]

Can't remember what?

[thug_disease]

I can't remember her face anymore!

[tenkai_soul]

Ah... Something like then...

Perhaps it's a matter of focus? Maybe I can help.

[thug_disease]

Yamame is focusing and it's not working!

[She tears her latest attempt out of the pad and wads it up, tossing it at the trash bin without looking at it.]

[tenkai_soul]

You seem a bit too frustrated to be properly focus. Here, let me show you a neat trick.

[Yamame just looks over at the boy...and...wow does she look kind of scary frustrated.]

Fine, what?

[tenkai_soul]

-Tir sits himself on the ground before her, crossing his legs.- Firstly, sit like I am right now. Preferably facing the eastern sky.

[thug_disease]

[Yamame sits on the bench, glaring at that boy with that withering angry little look of hers before she sighs and sets her sketchpad down.

She sits down next to Tir the same way he's sitting...but she still looks pretty angry at the world despite her compliance.]

[tenkai_soul]

Take nice, deep breaths...

[thug_disease]

[Yamame looks INSANELY annoyed, but she does as instructed.]

[tenkai_soul]

In... and out... In... and out...

As your breathing steadies, focus on something immaterial. Something non emotional. Like the air, or the grass around you.

[thug_disease]

[Yamame complies...but she's still obviously tensed from head to toe.]

[tenkai_soul]

Just do this for awhile... Allow that frustration, that negativity, to just wash out... Just let it go.

[thug_disease]

[Yamame does as instructed...but she can't stop thinking about it and trying to remember her face...which of course is throwing a wrench into the process.]

It's not working!
