Open Drawing in the Market

[Vyktoria Rivor]

"Anytime you'd like. I have an extra pencil if you want to try now."
Vyktoria reaches in her bag and takes out two pencils.

[Yuri Lehrer]

"Thanks, that would be nice." Yuri replies as he gently takes one of the pencils. "So what should I attempt to draw for this lesson?" Yuri asks. "Perhaps the Guitarist playing on the street?"

[Vyktoria Rivor]

"Sure. Just draw the general shape, you can add the details later."
Vyktoria turns the book so its faces Yuri.
"Just take your time and don't rush."
Vyktoria watches as Yuri starts to draw.

[Malus Tidalwave]

Malus' right hand slows down, slowing the tempo and changing the tone of the music. Before it was lively and energetic, now it called to the hearts of lovers, telling the story of romance and sadness, loves lost and loves forgotten. Nea changed her dancing as well, adapting to the music. Her movements took a more seductive turn. Simple yet elegant, she danced in rhythm of Malus's guitar, the pair drawing a larger crowed as the day grew older and the market filled.

Breathing steadily Malus kept his eyes closed. feeling the music as it resonated from the strings on his guitar. He marveled at how such a thing could be created, and relished that he could release such beauty to world. He carefully placed his left fingers on the frets, as his right hand plucked the strings, keeping them up to time with the tempo of the new song. His mind drifted as he listened to the music coming from his guitar, seemingly coming from a different source, surrounding him, filling him, filling his head with images of the rolling waves and the blowing sea. He felt free, and there was little that could take that from him.

New song :

[Yuri Lehrer]

Yuri takes a deep breath as he begins to sketch the outline of the Guitarist... Focusing on the basic angles and curves, Yuri listens to the music as he draws, letting it fill his hand with it's slow and steady rhythm. After a couple of minutes Yuri stops... "I think I am done for now, how did I do?" Yuri asks.

[Vyktoria Rivor]

"Very good, a little more practice and you'll get better and better."
Vyktoria smiles again.

[Yuri Lehrer]

Yuri blushes slightly at the compliment and returns the smile. "Thanks, I haven't ever drawn before today, mainly because I haven't found the time - due to my line of work, I really appreciate you doing this for me..." Yuri trails off, as he notices the scar on Vyktoria's arm. "How did you get that scar?" Yuri asks with an almost palpable grimace.

[Vyktoria Rivor]

"You're very welcome. I enjoyed helping you."
Vyktoria quickly covers her scar and kinda of crosses her arms.
"I got attacked by a dog while I was in my fox form. I try to avoid them as much as possible now."
Vyktoria's previous smile turns into a nervous grimace.

[Yuri Lehrer]

"Ah, I sort of know how you feel, on my first trip to the Spires I saw a Jamoura being set upon by bandits, I stepped in but was well... beaten, quite badly and was cut in several places..." as Yuri says this he lifts his shirt and points out several scars on his chest.

[Vyktoria Rivor]

Vyktoria's eyes widen as she looks at Yuri's scars, she blushes slightly at his exposed chest.
"Oh, I'm so sorry. At least you're alive, right? Did the Jamoura get away?"
Taking another drink, Vyktoria smiles again.
