"Hmmmm. Not quite right for on a gun. And I mean, are you a tattoo person? And even if you were, not sure you'd want just like the first thing I thought of." Jinx giggles. "...Cute though." She flips a page and starts doodling something else.

She giggles softly.

"I don't know if I'm a tattoo person."

"Yeah, it's kind of a big commitment. Want me to draw anything particular? Oh, or did you wanna have a turn?"

"Mm... sure, I'll try drawing my mountains."

Here is a sketchpad. It comes with a kiss!

Eee, a kiss!

Okay. She takes the sketchpad and starts drawing. A valley, a lake, mountains... no, that's wrong. She starts again on a different part of the page. The lake, the way it shines... the mountains, and the sun... no. Start again. The sun in the sky, wrapped in a blanket of clouds, and the mountains, and the lake... nope, start again.

Jinx seems to have decided to kiss Ruava every time she starts over.

Well that's adorable.

Draw draw draw. These mountains aren't right. These mountains aren't right either. She has to get the mountains right. And the lake. And the sun.

This is important. Jinx will provide kisses and watch with fascination.

Kisses are a positive contribution to this enterprise!

After a few pages, she has something she's willing to work on for longer than thirty seconds. It really is a beautiful lake. It's hard to capture the way the light shines off it, but she manages pretty well.

It's a nice lake! 

(Jinx visibly restrains herself from taking the pencil.)

"Mm?"

"Sorry, I just. I feel like I know how to do the effect you're going for?"

"Okay, let's see." She hands over the pencil.

"I didn't actually mean hand me the - okay, sure, I'll do it." 

Sketch sketch sketch?

"Hmmm." She looks at the result. "Yeah, that's... closer..."

She takes the pencil back and tries again on the next page. It's a little clearer what she's going for, this time - wow, that lake is shiny.

Oooooooo.

It's so shiny!

Next page, next attempt. Now she's really getting somewhere. This one positively glows.

"I think that's as close as I can get."

"That's very nice. Would color help?"

"Yeah. It's not the same without the gold."

Annnd off to get some colored pens and pencils! 

Rummage rummage rummage. 

"Aha! Here you go."

"Time for me to learn to draw all over again."

Now with colour!

"It's really hot how you just pick up new skills on the fly like that." 

Kiss! ...Long kiss. Then perch over Ruava's shoulder to watch her work.

Giggle.

Draw draw draw.

Snuggle snuggle watch.
