[starshower]

[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?

[flamekthunder]

[Well she asked his opinion!!]

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

[starshower]

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.

[flamekthunder]

[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.

[starshower]

[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?

[flamekthunder]

[...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.

[starshower]

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.

[flamekthunder]

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

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

[starshower]

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...

[flamekthunder]

I think you did well.

[Another gentle squeeze.]

I actually prefer forests and mountains.

[starshower]

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.

[flamekthunder]

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.

[starshower]

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?

[flamekthunder]

[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?

[starshower]

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.

[flamekthunder]

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.

[starshower]

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?

[flamekthunder]

[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.

[starshower]

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?

[flamekthunder]

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?

[starshower]

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?

[flamekthunder]

[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.]

[starshower]

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?

[flamekthunder]

[A low hum as he starts with his own light strokes to create a light sketch of sorts. Since he also has to depend on where the wolf is, he is careful to make sure it's close to her wolf.]

And to make sure she doesn't run away.

[starshower]

And why would she do that?

[Onto the head, she tries to envision a wolf and makes the shape with her brush, using the bristles to paint the fur tufts sticking out of the sides of its face.]

If she feels safe with him, then no reason to run away. Not anymore, at least.
