do. drawing in the city

[ Due to some recent... developments... Tsukasa's been putting a lot more effort into keeping himself busy, and that chiefly involves getting better at drawing people. Landscapes, flora, all of that? He's perfectly great at, albeit his style errs more on a loose, flighty style of watercolor.

But again. Getting better at drawing people. He can be found at a few of the parks doing studies on people, couples, animals, you... all of that. Looking vaguely frustrated and, at one point, just kind of. flopping back in the grass with the world's loudest groan.

Not that his attempts at it at the square are much better, where he ends up laying on the fountain's edge, looking at the water like he's considering rolling into it.

......Yeah, it really isn't going well. ]

re. drawing out of the city

[ "Maybe I'll have better luck somewhere new," he said, and then went to Pesgare one weekend when he wasn't busy.

Except Tsukasa doesn't handle boats well, so on the way he can be found leaning on the railing and looking more than a little miserable. He prefers these to like, airplanes? Definitely? But... boats... Three hours of this is awful, like at least it isn't walking into heat but Respartum had only been like an hour away...!?

When he's there though, he can be found resting his poor stomach on the side of the road for a bit before he starts sketching again. Those with a keen eye will notice, though, that he ends up drawing the sights more than the people... Pesgare is beautiful, and he needs to practice architecture anyway... ♪ Even if he's supposed to be focusing on people.

He can also be found just around, taking in the sights and... in the marketplace, taking in the smells. And the bakeries. And— look, he likes food, shush. Are you reaching for that last chocolat au pain or other tasty treat too? Tsukasa'll back off with an "Ah, sorry," though he'll look a little put-out at not being able to have it himself. ]

[ Nothing catching your interest/we already have plans/you wanna do class stuff (his electives are art and home ec, he's in Art Club)/maybe at work at the riding school and stables/whatever? Go ahead and throw me anything, I'll roll with it! You can also catch me over on plurk at flaired, or on Discord at Bella#4429; I'm quicker to reply to pings though, as a heads up. ]

[ we out here repressing and shit like the knights we are. and speaking about knights - ]

Mm? I can be calm, and I'm sure I can handle a few excitable chocobos. [ ho are you sure ] Come on, come on~ ☆ Show me more, Kasa-kun. You haven't even taught me how to ride either animal yet.

[ why is he deciding this all on his own.............. ]

[stressweets]

[ ho are you sure. ]

—Ah, hold on, who said anything about riding lessons...? I mean, I'm not against it, but I haven't even gotten anything prepared?

[adoringpast]

Why haven't you prepared anything? This isn't a petting zoo, right? So of course I'd expect you to teach me about riding either animal. It's basic stuff, Kasa-kun.

[ he can't just keep petting them forever??? please ]

[stressweets]

[ THAT'S......... ]

You said you wanted to meet them, not that you wanted to... [ ... ] It's fine. Um, I'll get something for us... for you at least. It isn't too hard once you get up there... but next time you come, you'll be paying for a riding lesson, okay? The school exists for a reason.

[ siiiigh. a gesture though, come on. ]

Let's go see some chocobos, Sena-senpai.

[adoringpast]

What? Of course I'm paying, Kasa-kun. Who do you take me for anyway?

[ he's not some freeloader, gosh. but he follows suit, already a bit eager for the chocobos as he looks out for any sign of them. ]

Some of these chocobos can fly, right?

[stressweets]

[ ...there's something kind of cute about sena being so excited about this...

no, no, he's waving that thought away. nah. ]

Not with riders, but yes... For a short bit. Considering their size, I don't think that's really a surprise...? [ hmmm. chocobos are separated from horses now, but it's not a long walk to find them out here ♪ there's even some smaller, fluffier ones in various colors. a little bigger than chickens.

chicobos. yes, chic. chicks. they're with larger chocobos that are evidently their mothers, who're looking a little wary, but tsukasa smiles anyway. ] Oh, the babies are out... How lucky ♪ We caught them at a good time~.

[adoringpast]

[ whoa, they really are like larger chickens... sena still has that straight face on but his sparkling eyes betray him as he wordlessly approaches the chicobos. the yellow ones seem to be the most common breed, but he's surprised to see red and black ones roosting about. ]

I can touch them too, right?

[ since they're babies and all, so they might run away like normal chicks? tfw he's a lot more delicate around them than with actual human beings, but let him have this for once. he's always been marginally better around animals' company, is all. ]
