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. ]

mi. wildcard

[ 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. ]

[He peers at Tsukasa's demonstration, head slightly cocked and brow furrowed.]

... Oh. So a little like jian dui, I guess? Ah, but that's fried, so that's probably not really the same.

[Though now that he's mentioned jian dui, he kind of wants some now?? Li-Na had given him some for Christmas, and they went entirely too fast for his liking. He does take note of that in his head, though, and he straightens up a bit when Tsukasa clears his throat.]

No, um-- this is interesting! It's interesting to learn about. We have some Japanese foods and snacks back in Hong Kong, but not those kinds of variations. And, I, uh-- [His cheeks flush, involuntarily, as his hands twist around the bag handles] I sort of want to try making them myself some day. F-For practice, and to give to others and stuff.

[Like, technically, he could ask Mio since she's Japanese and sort of family given her relationship to Leon, but Tsukasa's a boy and closer in age, so?? But mostly he just wants to know so he could impress Sakura with it one day.]

[ Oh, fried daifuku would be tasty...~ Fried mochi already is, so why not have stuff in it? ♪

Tsukasa bites the inside of his cheek at Xiaolang's blushing, letting his hand drop. Well, well... ]

Mmm, if that's the case... I wouldn't mind teaching you or something. Food's best when it's shared with others anyway. [ The look on someone's face when they eat something you've made and they love it is the best look on anyone, too~. ] Don't worry about paying me back or anything for that though. I like cooking. ♪ My Baba—my grandma—and I do it a lot.
