treat my body like a canvas | Glowfic Constellation

Excellent.

Ji's getting hungry, speaking of... Breakfast was hours ago, and she just had a granola bar and some fruit before setting out here, and it's right around lunch time now.

If they find her sister, Ellie can treat them both.

to-my-knees

She'll go looking, then.

Sara, where are you...

three-different-ends

Sara has begun migrating back toward the entrance, with her haul of fresh fruits and vegetables and a loaf of the good bread.

to-my-knees

"Hey sis!"

three-different-ends

"Hey!" She waves awkwardly, encumbered by bags.

to-my-knees

"Wanna drop these off at the apartment then get lunch?" She heads over to help take some bags.

three-different-ends

"Sounds good to me."

to-my-knees

Cool. (Is Ellie good with that, too?)

building-the-bridges

She is. She'll even help carry some of the bags.

to-my-knees

"Thanks."

And, apartment-wards! It's a small place - Ji's not taking her parents' money for it, so it's one bedroom with a side nook screened off for when they want to sleep separately. It's theirs, though, and it's near the park where the farmers' market is, and it's not too loud, and there's trees outside their windows.

"Cozy," Ellie says. "You're lucky to have found this place."

to-my-knees

"Yeah. I've been needing to do work as well as school - and I'd saved up some before we came here - but it's been really nice. And there's enough wall space for me to hang my paintings, so..."

building-the-bridges

"You paint?"

to-my-knees

"Yup." She gestures around at the art on the walls - there's a painted mask and some crafts and framed sketches or watercolors and a few canvases, as well as the painting on the screen, which is at a closer glance possibly homemade. "Haven't gotten a chance to do a ton of things yet, but... All this was me."

building-the-bridges

"It's quite lovely."

to-my-knees

Blush! "Thanks. I don't really have anyone to show it all to, except Sara... So, hearing you like it's nice."

three-different-ends

"This one's my favorite," Sara says, showing Ellie.

building-the-bridges

Oh yes. Though this one has good qualities as well...

to-my-knees

She's just going to put away groceries... While giggling and blushing.

three-different-ends

Sara is just helping Ellie to admire the art. Not at all with the secondary motive of showing off how cute her sister is when she blushes, no ma'am.

to-my-knees

Of course.

(She's explained some of the symbolism behind each to Sara quite in depth before, too, if Sara wants to do a proper tour of it all. - Well, she didn't really have symbolism in the few bits of art she made as a child and then successfully hid and kept to the present day, which are also up, but a lot have stories all the same.)
