Comments

[hyanaimne]

. . . thank you.

[overclocking]

You're welcome. I'll have to ask you to do it more often.

[Leaning down to pull up some of the paper and paints from the basket]

[hyanaimne]

It wasn't that good, you know.

[comes to sit next to him]

[overclocking]

[He begins painting an odd sun symbol on it...]

That has nothing to do with whether I enjoyed it or not.

[hyanaimne]

Whatever you say, dear.

. . . ah, are these those lanterns you were speaking of?

[overclocking]

Yeah. We have a few finished ones already if you want to see them.

[hyanaimne]

May I?

[overclocking]

Of course.

[Standing up and disappearing into the other room, returning with one of them]

We just have to light a candle inside, and it will float.

[hyanaimne]

[takes it carefully, looking over it curiously]

Ohh . . . the capital had a similar thing to do this. Only they set them down the river.

[overclocking]

The water didn't ruin the paper?

[hyanaimne]

[shakes her head]

They lasted quite a while.

[overclocking]

[... files that information away... :x]

It sounds like a nice sight. We should try it if we ever have access to a safe river.

[hyanaimne]

It is a nice thought. Something to look forward to.

[overclocking]

Mm... keep it in mind.

[Setting the lantern aside and handing her a sheet of paper]

We're emulating that, but it doesn't have to be exactly the same. In fact it'll probably look nicer if they're different shapes and sizes.

[hyanaimne]

[takes it, looking wry]

Crafts were never my strong suit, you know.

[overclocking]

So? It's never too late to learn.

Besides, these are fairly easy. It's just that we need a lot of them.

[hyanaimne]

I suppose it won't hurt to try.

[overclocking]

[Folding the one he was painting, to illustrate :x]

[hyanaimne]

[copies?!]

[overclocking]

[Yes well done. Strange urge to headpat you...]

See? Not so hard.

[hyanaimne]

Yes, yes . . .

[sets it aside, holds out a hand for another piece]

[overclocking]

[Hands one over

With a brush this time

CHALLENGE MODE :x]

[hyanaimne]

[. . . :x]

What is the exact purpose of these?

[overclocking]

[Getting another sheet for himself, painting it with a different color]

Comfort.

[hyanaimne]

Hmm.

[starts painting it :x]
