And for once, it was real. There was innocence within it that Piper had been devoid of for years. She leaned forward to hug Fi.

She'd rip them both off a piece of paper. Fiona would just start scribbling again, humming that same erratic tune. Back to Top   Fiona Sarah White Mentor Defense When Autumn Came...

The first one, she wanted to get used to the feel of drawing again. It was a black and white image of a rose, with soft shading behind the rose. She outlined the stem and petals in a powerful silver, but otherwise, left the image as was. The second would take her significantly longer. She and Fi would be sitting there for a while, but she seemed completely focused on what she was drawing. She was absorbed in it, in fact, and couldn't actually look up until it was done. She was, however, completely satisfied with her piece. She stared at it with a smile. A slow smile. And she signed both images with a single name: Sarah « Last Edit: Nov 30, 2015 0:10:58 GMT -6 by Sarah White » Back to Top   Fiona Harper Mentor Intelligence [send pm] Joined: October 2015 Posts: 1,096 Even more color (open) « Nov 30, 2015 0:14:43 GMT -6 » Quote Select Post Deselect Post Link to Post Member Give Gift Back to Top Fiona was very content to lay there in near silence. Humming the same tune for hours as her feet lazily kicked. Taking as much care with her scribbles as Piper did with her drawing. Every line, ever splash of color just right, directed by forces that only she could see. Back to Top   Fiona Sarah White Mentor Defense When Autumn Came...

There was only so much Sarah she could handle at once. "I need to go, Fi. But... I'd like to draw you a picture, some time. Would you be okay with that?" Sarah was still smiling, but it was a weary smile, and she held her drawings protectively against her chest.
