[Vash is a man on a mission! After talking to Katara a bit he’s gotten the itch to paint his room. He’s never really stayed in one place long enough to think about decorating a room and he can’t quite settle on a color. So for a good hour he can be found walking back and forth between the shop and his room carrying cans of paint back and forth. Then he starts to paint. He starts with red, but it’s just too much red so he adds a bit of blue. After that he tries yellow. Next he adds some green around the bottom of the wall. He likes the green - for awhile, then tries orange. Then a bit of purple.

At last he finally get gets the idea to paint the sky on his ceiling - complete with fluffy white clouds that don’t really look anything like clouds because he has no real art skill. Time to call for an expert!]

Hey Katara! How are you at painting clouds?

[The added shortly after]

You too Miyabi! I bet you could paint some good clouds!

Yeah! I'm painting my room!

Oh, you too? I'm glad everyone's taken to painting a little recently. It really is such a refreshing activity~ Anyway, I'd be glad to help you draw some clouds if you want me to. Should I come over? I'll bring my paint set, too!

Yeah! But I'm on the third floor - so I'll meet you outside of community building four?

Okay, just keep an eye out for me. Or an animal, really... [Miyabi sets off quickly, and in a few minutes, Vash notice a plump, old raccoon waddling towards him, with a yellow, glowing passenger between its ears and carrying a small sack between its teeth. It drops the sack at Vash's feet, then plops down on its belly, deciding to just...take a snooze right there.]

Nyah, what a lazy thing you are. You make Ammy look more energetic than you! [Sigh.] Hello, Vash.

[Grins at the poor raccoon] Hi there! How have you been? [Kneels down so you can easily hop onto his hand. Your taxi has arrived!]

Far better than the last time we spoke. [Hops right onto that hand, smiling. Yay, Vash!taxi~ Miyabi points to the little sack next to the sleeping animal.]

Be sure you bring that, too. All my supplies are inside, but don't jostle them too much, or the inkpots will break.

I'll be careful! [And he will carefully pick up your bag and head upstairs. And there you get to see his attempts at painting. Walls look like a rainbow exploded on them and the ceiling is blue with white ciricles.]

[She smiles at his reassurance and the merry tinkling of inkpots is herd as the two make their way up. Miyabi isn't expecting much, but you didn't really give her a chance to brace herself for the onslaught of....this.]

...

[Oh, dear gods in the Celestial Plain.]

[Are those supposed to be clouds? Okay, that's not that bad, it's kind of cute, but fffff--why are the walls all different colors?

Never again, Vash, never again.]

[And after her inner artist shrieks and dies an agonizing and painful death - along with a heavy chunk of her soul - Miyabi turns to face Vash, hands on her hips. She's just gonna lay it flat out, big brother. Please don't take this the wrong way.]

Vash...please call me the moment you decide to pick up a brush again. I have a lot of work to do here.

Ah...ha... that bad?

But I couldn't pick just one - they all seemed so nice! I liked them all!

[Miyabi's just going to facepalm at that, Vash. You are sweet and adorable and she loves you, but you artistic skills make her want to cry. She opens the little sack and lays out her paints. There was a nice array of colors, too, so that'd help with setting everything right.]

Brother...there's a way to use all sorts of colors in a painting! It's not about just slapping them on one at a time. [Sigh.] Okay, let's start with the main color. What would you like your room's main color you be? The one that stands out the most. After that, I can work with what colors can compliment and accentuate it. Then the ceiling will be last.

[Clearly, dis is srs bizniz. Miyabi's talking fast, and pacing around her ink pots, tilting her head from side to side. What would be the best color, hm...]

Um! How about...! [Trails off. The boy can't pick just one.]

[It's a good thing she's patient most of the time. Miyabi smiles warmly.]

Okay, how about this. Pick a few colors that you like. When you're finished with that, pick a few of your favorites from that list. That way, we'll narrow it down to one, hopefully.

Okay! Well... I really liked the red! And the blue - oh! I liked the green too! And orange! Oooh! Yellow was really pretty too - so was the purple! And I really liked the brown too!

Hm. The pink wasn't bad - but I guess I don't need the pink. [So helpful]

[Sigh, this might take forever, but she's willing to work with you, Vash. This is a testament of how much she adores you. Anyone else would have gotten reprimanded, or a suggestion of her color choice.]

All right. So from.... Red, blue, green, orange, yellow, purple, and brown, which would you like to keep the most? Oh, of course we can use some of those colors as compliments to the main color, too, so it's possible two of your favorites will get chosen. But let's focus on the main one for now.

Okay! I want to keep... [Thinking. Thinking. Thinking... still thinking.]

[This will take forever, and Miyabi's patience only goes so far. We love you, big brother, but you're too indecisive. So Miyabi's going to input her idea for the room. Of course, it doesn't sounds harsh, just a simple suggestion.]

Well, I had a nice idea. I was thinking maybe paint the walls a nice greenish color like this... [She uncorks an ink pot, dipping her sword into it, and paints a line onto a roll of parchment. The color was a light, kind of olive green color. Like aged bamboo.] And the upper and lower siding can be a cream color. Or brown..hm, maybe even a light hue of red. What would you prefer?

[And without thinking, Miyabi will even blotch down a few concept sketches for you, Vash! How thoughtful of her. Nothing amazing, but not sloppy, either. Take your pick.]

I guess that sounds good. [He kinda like all the fun colors together.] I guess I like the red. [Why does no one like all the colors he chose!?]

[No, Vash, Miyabi will not allow you degrade yourself by allowing you to live in a rainbow colored room. That's just too damn wrong, though the blackmail opportunities were astounding. Be glad she loves you, brother, the teasing material for allow that was pretty high.]

All right, then I'll get started right away! Can you get something to put the paint into? [Oh, and don't worry that inkpot being kind of small, Vash, the beautiful thing about a Poncle's sword is that it can cover a wide area with just a little bit of paint. ...That and do some serious damage via the Celestial Brush, of course.]And with the siding and flooring a red color, do you mind a sunset portrait for the ceiling? It'll have all sorts of beautiful colors in it, too. Just, ah...don't be mad if it's not all that good, heh.

[Of course. Of course she's going to put herself down, it was only a matter of time, after all.]

[Okay - getting excited again] A sunset? I bet that has lots of colors in it!

[And she channels that excitement in a heartbeat, hopping up and down. Miyabi even forgets about being self-loathing for the moment to gush happily.] Yes, it does~! All sorts of colors, too. The sunsets in Nippon were so beautiful...reds, yellows, oranges, blue and purples, ah--and then the cranes flying over the clouds, too. It was so, so wonderful. If I could paint something like that...

That sounds really nice! [What can we say? The boy likes colors.] But... what's a crane?

A crane is a fish-eating bird from my homeland. It's white and has a long neck, beak, and legs. They're incredibly graceful animals, and so beautiful to watch when they dance~ The dance is said to be done when they pick a partner to share eternity with. Cranes mate for life, you see. In various parts of Nippon, people imitate the crane's dance, and tell stories to go with them. I'm not certain if this is true or not, but a few people consider the whooping crane to be sacred.
