Then you oughtta show it.

[But before he gets the chance to, she motions to the wall.]

Think I'm done with the sandy beach, though. How does it look?

[It's just a streak of sandy white—]

[What, as if he hasn't!! Okay he teases her more than express it, true.

But he's going to look at it for a moment... ...Hrmmmm...]

It's not bad. Seems a bit plain.

[Not that it needs to be that detailed, either, but...

...Compared to his sky and the bit of ocean he had started on, there's a lot more varying colors in his that makes her plain sandy white stick out. But then again, it's just a beach??? And it will have the wolf and rabbit on it...]

[She pouts at him, and then at the wall.]

... Well, I guess it is a little, but we'll be painting over it, right? Should I add a few seashells, maybe?

[Well she asked his opinion!!]

Could add them after we paint the rabbit and the wolf.

As long as they don't take away too much from them, but I think a few would be cute!

[She wasn't expecting him to say it was plain!!! It's just sand!]

Could maybe add some texture and shadows with a darker shade too.

[They need to make their wall the best!!]

Just a few small shells should do...

[As an IDEA pops into his mind, but it's not one he would say himself because it feels a little... Well, not something he would say, and something more that Tifa might think of. So his eyes stare at the wall for a moment before he nods.]

I'm almost done with the airship if we want to move onto it.

[Tifa steps over to his side to look over the airship and what he has so far, and she grins.]

It looks cute.

[She's not teasing him, honest!! It really does.]

This an accurate depiction of it?

[...Yeah he has to admit it's more on the cuter side... But can't be helped because it's small!!]

...I'm not sure if it's "accurate," but it's a decent resemblance to get an idea of it.

Well, as long as we know what it is, but... it looks good.

[She reaches over to take his free hand.]

Maybe one day, I'll see it in all its glory. Even in a picture or something.

[He gently squeezes her hand as he smiles softly at her.]

Yeah...and I'd like to see more of your own world, too.

Well, you get a little peek here.

[She motions to the mountains on the other side of their painting.]

It isn't much, but I tried to capture them as best I could. Intimidating, but beautiful...

I think you did well.

[Another gentle squeeze.]

I actually prefer forests and mountains.

I think you would've liked the Nibel area. Lots of skylines, mountains, and the stars at night were always stunning. Even with the reactor there.

[Her head leans against his shoulder.]

Obviously I couldn't do the mountains justice, but they're thousands of feet tall with spiked tips. Would look great from an airship.

I bet it would.

[There's a small, light smile as his head naturally leans to rest against hers.]

But this world isn't so bad.

No, it's really not. And we've been able to see places even nicer than Nibelheim, so guess you aren't missing much.

[She giggles and lifts her head just enough that she can press a kiss to his cheek before returning to his shoulder.]

Should we start on the rabbit and the wolf, then?

[He smiles a bit more at that and leans in to softly kiss her lips on return.]

Yeah, we should.

[His gaze is soft before he reaches for the paints...

...]

What colors?

Hmm, good question.

[She looks at him fondly and with a bit of thought.]

Well, I think you'd be... a tawny wolf, with maybe some white. And black ears.

A gray or timber wolf?

[Which might sound strange because of the name, but that's exactly the type of wolf she described. But as he thinks about it... He can't help but nod in agreement.]

And for you... I can only ever see you as a black rabbit.

A timber wolf is more like what I imagined you as, yeah. Perfect for you.

[She boops him on the cheek, and manages to smear a bit of paint there, but she pulls back in mock surprise.]

A black one? Why's that? It's the hair, isn't it?

[He feels that paint.... Even if not intentional, he's going to boop her right back as he answers.]

Mostly, yes. Your red eyes look more striking because of it.

I'm gonna say that's a good thing...

[She crinkles her nose at him with a smile before she kneels down to pour out a bit of brown and gray paint.]

How about I paint the wolf, and you do the rabbit?

I was thinking the same thing.

[He holds up the small pint of black paint.]

Should it be the wolf in the left and the rabbit on the right? And just the backs, right?

Just their backs, yeah. With them looking out to the water and the rainbow.

[As for where they should go... Tifa pauses, and then switches sides with him so that the rabbit will be where she had been standing.]

There. And maybe the rabbit can be leaning against the wolf?

[He watches her for a moment as she switches sides before trying to envision what she's describing.]

Sounds good... The wolf's tail can also be around the rabbit.

[Adding a little more "cute factor" from his side.]

Hmm, I like that.

[And she's already making that first careful stroke with her brush, marking the slope of the wolf's body.]

Keeping the rabbit safe and warm?
