Petrus blinked. "Lighten up, huh? You?" After a few moments, he grinned. "I gotta say, I can't wait to see the results. I mean, not that I don't like you the way you are..." He added hurriedly, "-but hey, I'll just be happy if someone else laughs at my jokes."
He reddened a little, his grip shifting on the notebook he held. "Oh, just a few sketches. I dunno if you remember, but I used to do that, you know, when we were students." They weren't very good... but what was fear of criticism?
With crooked smile, Petrus opened up the notebook. "Here." He showed her what was fairly unmistakably a sketch of her; amateurish, but not bad. She wore robes and a serene expression, her chin tilted upwards just a little.
"I believe I have much to learn, but as proven one can do anything as long as they believe. Your jokes however may take longer to understand."
Qareme moved closer to study the drawing. After a few moment she smiled.
"I do remember your work. I believe you were around the third best of your age group at sketches, although you always felt you needed to hide your work." Qareme had meant it as a compliment, but whether it would be taken that was is another matter.
"May I inquire as to why I was a topic of drawing? I do not mind, just simply curious."

Petrus snorted. "Yeah, that sounds like me. Both the jokes and the hiding my work." Smiling ruefully, he shook his head.
The question made him pause. "You know, I couldn't really say. It was just what I... felt was right, I guess." He shrugged.
After a moment, he smirked. "Check out this one I did of Verse." He turned the page, and there was Verse. Flipping, naturally, and looking both bold and startled. "Spot on, right? I mean, I swear, she never keeps her feet on the ground, ever."

There was a pause because she looked at Petrus and said "Petrus, teach me to draw." Was it a question? A request? A demand? It wasn't easy to tell with Qareme.....

"Oh, yeah... maybe? I've never really thought about it like that," she said.
She didn't really think of herself in those terms after all. Mirialan, Zabrak, Human... it was all the same to her. Indeed, as she said it, one might take note of the fact she didn't quite look like a normal Mirialan. Something was *missing*.

Petrus chuckled. "Maybe I should have just drawn a blur. Here; zoooom!" Pulling out his stylus, he added a few tasteful speedlines to the picture. "There, that's more like her."
He stared at Qareme a moment. "Errr... really?" His eyebrows went up. "Like, right now? Or..." He frowned. "Why this sudden desire to learn how to draw? I mean, I'm not that great myself..."

"Oh." Daunt took a good look at her, wondering why a Mirialan would be unsure of her cultural background. What was this odd thing about her, he wondered.
ME3. Why Verse is not full Mirialan? Xenology.:
2eA+2eD 1 success, 1 advantage
The odd thing was that she didn't have any facial tattoos. Almost all Mirialans would've had some by now, marking their personal achievements. Of course, there were always those rare few that didn't follow such traditions, but they probably weren't part of Mirialan society then, as having no tattoos would make it very hard for them to function as a part of it.

Daunt, of all sentients, fully realised the cultural importance of tattoos. He'd feel naked without them, even with clothing on, and dressed enough with them without clothing. So he looked at Verse's face, wondering about why she wasn't getting some, especially if her culture was all for it. Being sensible somehow, he didn't ask directly though. He looked back at the picture.
"Why does your Mirialan on the picture not have any tattoos? She doesn't look like being short on accomplishment."

"I mean, it's me, of course. On the picture. I don't have any tattoos."
Which was answering his question literally, but possibly not answering the *spirit* of what he was asking. Or was it? It was hard to tell.

"Are you allergic to ink then?" He asked, drawing finger across his own patterns on the face. He couldn't figure it out.

"No? I don't think so?" She didn't understand the point of the question right away.
"Oh, you mean why don't I have any? I don't know, when I learned that stuff was a thing I guess I decided it didn't really matter much to me."

"Seems like things worked out and you ended up with a stage anyways." Astin offered as he spotted the blonde in the crowd and made his way over. A polite nod given to Mia and her boulderman on the way.
"A stage of sorts, yeah," she chuckled, wiping some sweat from her brow. "It seemed well-recieved too, so that's a good way to round off the day. What about you? Not gonna try your hand at some show?"
"Here?" He shook his head a rueful smile on his lips. "I thought about it, but I'm really not much of an artist. Might of been convinced if I had a few drinks though."
"Figured I'd take it easy instead." He grinned. "But you did great, I really enjoyed your song "

So another child displaced in turbulent times, Daunt thought. Not unlike himself in a way. He felt some affinity.
"I guess it only matters if you think it matters." He shrugged and didn't press any further. Though some tattoos on her would be nice.
"The name's Daunt. And the hero and the maker of this art is... ?"

"Verse Aura," she said, extending a hand. He seemed pretty scary, but then so had Qareme at first and she knew that appearances were often deceiving.
"Nice to meet you Mr.Daunt."

He shook it with restrained strength that could be otherwise easily deduced from the circumference of his arm at the bicep.
"It's a pleasure to meet another violent spirit. But just Daunt will do, I am no mister." A creature of his eyes and her skin would be invisible in spring grass.

Strong though he might be, he'd notice that the small girl's grip indicated she had surprising strength of her own. Equal to his own perhaps, even.
"Oh... uhm, okay. Just Daunt. And I'm not really violent. Or a spirit either I guess."

"You can use force to hurt others, to cause suffering and pain. Just because you can, or because they are in the way of something you want. That is violence. Using force to protect others from violence is different. It is kindness, and compassion."

Mia observed the Pantoran for quite a bit staring at her so-called sculpture. And then the unexpected happened with a Neimodian that she had also met before coming up to buy it.
"Sold!" she exclaimed, not really the sort to haggle. She wasn't even sure what the buying price was for Boulderman. Surely he was worth at least two life-saving shots in this glorious technological age where such things are readily available but gynecology is not.

He narrowed his eyes in thought as his gaze returned to the picture.
"And what if you do a a bit of both? Using force either way often gets someone killed."

"No, that's fine. Of course." Petrus said, smiling. "You just caught me by surprise. I'd be happy to teach you, if you'd like to learn. All it takes is practice. And I guess having an eye for detail helps, too." Petrus had always been pretty good at noticing things.
He let out a breath. "But yeah, come over sometime. Or we can meet somewhere, a park or something, maybe the forest. How does that sound? Is there something particular you'd like to draw?"
