Ah... you want to learn how to draw?

[Even through just a mental image, it's clear how much Naminé lights up at the thought.]

Xion I would love to teach you! Do you want to start now? You can come over to my room whenever you're ready.

[astericus]

I want to... try to learn how to draw. [ She amends, a little sheepish. But she's reassured by Naminé's enthusiasm for the idea, so she agrees quickly. ]

O-Okay! That would be great. I'll head over- thanks, Naminé.

[ A short time later there comes a knock on Naminé's door, and when she opens it Xion is there holding a stack of paper. ]

I didn't want to mess up any of your nice sketchbooks. [ -is her explanation. ]

[thememorywitch]

[Naminé smiles softly back at her as she opens the door and leads her in.]

There's no need to worry about that; I have plenty of spare ones from the class I teach. You should take one. It's much easier to keep everything together in one place.

[The girl offers her a blank book along with some fresh color pencils.]

You should take these as well.

[astericus]

I can really just keep it? [ She asks, hesitantly reaching out to take the book and colored pencils as she enters after Naminé. ]

I'm not in your official class or anything... it's really okay?

[thememorywitch]

You can; I want you to have it.

[Naminé smiles at that.]

Of course it's okay, Xion. It's a gift. I'm so happy you want to learn how to draw!

[astericus]

A gift... [ She repeats, a little surprised but no less grateful. It was so sweet of Naminé to not only agree, but also provide the supplies. Suddenly she smiles and nods. ]

...Thank you, Naminé! I'll... try not to let you down! [ DETERMINATION!!! She deflates a tiny bit though, looking a little shy. ]

I've never really drawn... anything before. [ She has a memory of a cave wall, but that's not hers. ]

What am I supposed to start with?

[thememorywitch]

Of course, Xion. And don't worry! Everyone starts somewhere!

[Naminé grabs her own sketchbook and smiles at her.]

Hmmm well... is there something you'd like to draw?

[astericus]

[ That's good advice in general, so Xion gives a smile and nods. Naminé's own question is a little harder, however. She tilts her head, looking down at the blank sketchbook in her hands. ]

Oh, I'm not sure. [ Naminé's drawing's that she'd seen had mostly been people, but that sounded... hard. ]

Maybe something like... scenery? Oh, a landscape they're called, right?

[thememorywitch]

A landscape? Okay!

[At that, Naminé actually closes her sketchbook and tucks it into her bag. She also packs up some supplies.]

Let's go to the beach then. That should be a lot of fun to draw, don't you think?
