Second Floor Common Room, Wednesday Night

[palestshadow.livejournal.com]

Naminé had spread a large canvas over most of the floor in the common room. Around the edges there were paints, brushes, charcoals, crayons, colored pencils, all sorts of moddable art supplies.

Near one edge she was working on a sketch of a tree, and a rather-less-white-than-before gorgeous long-haired cat was wandering through the center, tracking some (non-toxic and safe for cats) paint-covered pawprints as she went.

Art, Naminé felt, was best expressed as chaos.

(Very open, as common rooms are! Come make art.)

"Much," he said. "Though still green. Yourself?"

"Unfortunately, I haven't turned any nifty colors lately, but I'm having fun painting!"

Sokka proudly showed off his section of the painting, which was done in that distinctive Sokka style. (Where "distinctive," in this case, means "a three-year-old could do better".) The rain of fish was jamming the flying ponies' rocket launchers, foiling their invasion of the monkey spirits' magic mountain. Which, of course, meant that Sokka needed to start adding some magic wishing stars.

"...what is everyone's fascination with monkeys?" he murmured, mostly to himself.

"They're very wise and mystical beings," Sokka insisted.

The look is too incredulous for words.

"You're out of your mind."

[sarcasm-guy.livejournal.com]

"Yeah? Well, you're GREEN!!!"

[new-to-liirness.livejournal.com]

He gave him a truly evil Look. Arch didn't even begin to describe it and to make matter's worse, his face was rather suited to it, made of angles and hard lines.

"And?"

But his eyes were glittering with mirth.

"...And it's a very stylish color," Sokka replied. Hey, if he was supposed to be out of his mind, might as well go the distance, right? "Have you thought about getting some new clothes to complement it properly? The right color shirt'd do you a WORLD of good."

[new-to-liirness.livejournal.com]

He laughed then.

"Most of my clothes are already green," he pointed out. "As it's usually the color of my eyes."

[sarcasm-guy.livejournal.com]

Sokka nodded critically. "Mmmm. They do get kind of lost, now. Have you maybe thought about tinted contact lenses?"

[new-to-liirness.livejournal.com]

"They're black now," he said. "It seemed to have changed with the skin."

To her coloring.

He pushed back the black curls so Sokka could see.

Sokka blinked at that. "That's... Pretty cool. It's almost a shame you won't get to keep that look."

[new-to-liirness.livejournal.com]

He shrugged.

"I knew someone who looked like this. They weren't very happy with it."

[sarcasm-guy.livejournal.com]

Sokka shrugged back. "No reason you can't rock the look, right?"

[new-to-liirness.livejournal.com]

"I suppose not," he agreed with a faint smile.
