003 ❀ Sempervirens

[Chidori turns on the camera to one of the consoles in the library, knees drawn up, eyes a little brighter than usual- her suppresants are working wonderfully today, and her mood is fairly light because of it. Her pencil twirls around her fingers- once, twice, then taps on the sketchbook settled against her raised knees before repeating the process.]

I require subjects.

[A pause, and with a slightly more pleasant air, pencil momentarily stopping its twirl-twirl-tap routine-]

That is, if anyone would be alright with sitting still long enough to be drawn.

[Not that she hasn't quick-sketched a fair few of those in the tower, but shhh. They don't need to know that.]

I will be here or in the meadow, if anyone is interested. Thank you.

DRAW ME LIKE ONE OF YOUR FRENCH GIRLS

[The screen is now full of scary loud green man.]

Are you picky about the appearance of said subjects, miss?

[She's seen bigger. And uglier.

But she only blinks once, slowly, and then shakes her head.]

Different is interesting.

I have not...modelled for such things before, but I will give it a try.

Shall I meet you in the meadow?

You need only sit. I do not require much more.

Yes, that would be satisfactory. I will join you shortly.

I see. [He nods, then rises from the computer, turning off the feed in the process.]

[Some time afterwards, in the meadow, Fawkes plods along, glancing about the area - this place still gets to him a bit - seeing a decent, natural place like this again is still hard to believe...even if it probably is some kind of weird illusion of this tower.]
