When Hunter made his first appearance in the Nexus, it was in The Parklands. And today, he is sitting in the same spot near the water. He has a canvas set up, and is working on a large piece depicting a mother pushing a child on a swing set. There is also a large collection of books near him. Obviously he had been studying over something of importance.

He gets to the point where the canvas is nearly complete, when he stops and places his brushes to the side. After studying the canvas for a moment, Hunter reaches out and touches the canvas, right in the lower left corner.

He closes his eyes and concentrates, and after a moment, the picture on the canvas comes to life. There is also a soft glow on his arm, where a few tiny roses bloom to life on the rose bush.

But the moment doesn't last long. It ends very quickly. And Hunter sighs a little frustrated. "What am I doing wrong?"

"Hey, you're making it work. You're already good at it." Ver gives him a little squeeze. "Don't sell yourself short."

"You're welcome. It's both my job and my privilege." She leans in to kiss his cheek before focusing on the painting again. "You have to prime a canvas before painting it, right? What if you prime the paints and things to take the magic better while you're painting?"
brave_heart_verity: (doubt it but I love ya)

"Maybe. My alchemy teacher and I have found that the materials used in our tools makes a difference, so, why not paint? Just think, you may discover a whole new field of magical study." Ver gives him an encouraging smile. "And in the meantime, you'll keep making gorgeous things. Win win."

"I'd be happy to. I've already got lots of ingredients at home, although I don't know how well they'd work in paint... but we'll find out."

"Mm, and I didn't even have to bribe you with food," she teases back. "I'll ask around, see if anyone has any ideas where we should start. I don't think Shade-Seeker is much of an artist, but Schon, well..."

She pauses, then admits, "Maybe we should just start there."

"Schon, inspiring you? Oh dear. I'm not sure his ego can stand that kind of inflation," she jokes. Half jokes. "Please don't tell him I said that."

Men, plural? If she'd known, she would have added a few more to the caterer's headcount. She's far from one to blame him for wanting to keep company with people. Or for having a little crush on Schon for a little while. (That part is still, as far as she knows, secret.)

"Ah, well. We'll just have to keep an eye on how many people get to fawn over him at a time. For his own good, of course."
brave_heart_verity: (explain plz)

[personal profile] brave_heart_verity 2017-06-24 02:16 am (UTC)(link)
Sounds complicated. She'd be no help in this situation, both from lack of experience and her huge Loki-shaped blind spot when it comes to her own behavior.

"He does," she agrees with a sigh. "It makes working for him difficult sometimes."
brave_heart_verity: (shy smile)

[personal profile] brave_heart_verity 2017-06-25 02:32 am (UTC)(link)
It's true, she'll always love and accept him, even if she doesn't understand or necessarily approve of something. She won't just listen, though: there'll be hugs and quite possibly food involved.

She'd have to be able to see that Loki-shaped blind spot before she could talk about it more completely than she currently does.

"I bet he'll be excited to hear about them."

The best treasures come with bonuses. That's what makes them seem so grand.

"Mm, tough choice. Who would be coming out for drag night?"

"Oh, I met him. He seems nice." Ver takes a moment to consider the idea. It sounds like a night aimed at getting a lot of attention, but there would be other people to soak up the attention. And she's sure Hunter would understand if she had to go home early. "I guess this means I should go shopping, huh?"
brave_heart_verity: (smirk)

[personal profile] brave_heart_verity 2017-06-27 01:03 am (UTC)(link)
"I can see how that would confuse him," she deadpans.

"You know I have a hard time saying no to new clothes. But should I be shopping for a dress or a suit?" She's not sure if girls can be drag queens, and it's not the sort of thing she's ever had to worry about before.

She wasn't fishing for that compliment, but she'll take it and give him a smile in return.

"Both of you? Well, I know I can't compete with that. And someone had best not be in heels, in case there's trouble." Oh, how life with Matt has changed her perspective on things.
