[ She's used to drawing around other people. The common room of the dorms and then the main room of the team's lair was rarely empty, so she's used to her friends team being around while she draws. And HIVE had clubs and stuff- even school dances!- to create a sense of normalcy, but they were for strictly illegal things. This is the first time she's done something like this as a group.

And with supervision! Yikes. It's hard not to want to hide her work away when he comes around but she was a confident thief and mercenary, essentially. She can keep her back straight and her head held high when an instructor walks by. She's allowed herself too much vulnerability anyways as of late- had to work on that.

So yeah, she just keeps going. ]

[Five minutes goes by pretty quickly when one is actively doing something, and Dimitri switches up his poses a few more times. It's nothing too fancy yet, taking into consideration how short they're going to be and his armor.]

[But then the Gear's timer rings, and it's everyone, not just Dimitri, who relaxes. As he stretches a bit, he makes his way over to where Jinx sits as the soft hum of conversation starts up in the room again.]

May I ask to see what you've done?
fortuna_tenax: (sometimes?)

Ah- sure...

[ It's not like he's unfamiliar with her art. But there's a difference between a finished painting and a series of practice sketches? But also, it's a public setting about art and improving art. Why must everything about being a normal person be so difficult always.

Her work, for what the time allows, is decent. Human shapes aren't her forte, but it's not like she's flailing blindly either? Quick sketches litter a part of the page. She shifts in her seat to allow viewing. ]

[Politely, taking care not to loom too hard - which he knows is tough as it is, with his height and the armor and all that - Dimitri steps around her to take a look.]

It's very nice. I imagine it is one of those things that comes easier to you the more you do it, isn't it?

Mhm. I also make jewelry sometimes. [ Dimitri might have seen the navy blue and silver bracelet on Felix's wrist. ] I like doing creative things in general- like cooking and baking.

Magic's kinda helped a bit- some things need to be incredibly precise in their shapes or ingredients, y'know? You gotta get good at recognizing what's needed in components and fast.

I see... Then, do you believe that learning to practice the shapes of a person, or the structure of my armor, would help with that in any way?

It's more like it'll be helped by my former experiences. The plates are easy to pick apart, since they've got distinct pieces, and I'd like to think I'm good at keeping things in tact and steady after magic circles.

[ The circles have to be perfect every time.


Or else. ]

I can understand how that would come in handy... [Dimitri is far from a mage, but he understands how much care goes into handling magic.] Then, is there anything in particular you have wanted to improve upon?

[personal profile] fortuna_tenax 2021-03-14 06:09 pm (UTC)(link)
He says to the perfectionist. I think it's good to always find ways to improve something. Or anything, really. Soooo. Yes!

Then... I could ask the teacher here if he could give you some advice, or point out things to work on. I am afraid I am not much of an artist myself.

[Frankly, he doesn't know the first thing to look for in art.]

You don't need to do that.

[ Still, she does give him a small smile for a moment, if only to reassure him that she's enjoying herself despite the nerves. ]

[Dimitri smiles back.]

I do not need to do many things... but I think I often like to, especially if they make other people happy.

If you desire anything while at this class, Jinx, you need only say the word.
