one abstraction

[dandelionwine]

[Although she'd gone to sleep in a small, quiet, dimly lit room and awoken the next morning in very similar surroundings, Rin had known immediately she was nowhere she'd ever been before. The strange book lying next to her head had only confirmed her suspicions.

Now she is planted in the castle's large lobby. Any passersby might notice the girl sitting against a wall, hunched over her journal and turning the pages carefully with her feet, as she has no arms. She's taking in all the information she can, learning with every turn of the page. After a while, she speaks up, more to herself than to anyone or anything else.]

Am I the only artist here? The only student? Lots of butterflies are making it confusing.

If you say so. [A pause. She's thinking about whether or not she really believes this.] I wish for really pretty paint. For art.

[And there's a very tiny but audible gasp when she realizes Jade was telling the truth.]

[ Jade hears that little gasp and her whole face lights up. ]

Did you get it?

[dandelionwine]

I did. It's a perfect shade of blue. Like the sky on a hot afternoon.

[She's very amazed by this, although trying hard not to show it.]

[nukeoleptic]

[ She can sort of hear it. :') ]

You should draw something nice, then. And let me see when you do!
