[Action/Voice]

[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!

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.

Wow, I wish I could see them dance.

If...If Issun is ever unfortunate enough to arrive--Or Master Ishaku, then they could definitely paint you a pictures of the crane's dance. You'd swear you were watching the actual thing. They're both such amazing painters.

[Of course Miyabi fidgets a little, mostly because as much as she's like to see one or both of those two here, she dreaded their arrival like nothing else. Miyabi didn't want them trapped here, to undergo experiments and kidnappings, when they were needed back home. After a moment of two of quiet, the girl huffs and twirls her sword so that the brush tip is held outwards.]

Okay, you have mats to cover the floors so no paint gets on it, right? I'm gonna start.

[Vash can understand those kinds of feelings. So he'll focus on the painting for now.] Yup! It's all set! Anything I can do to help?

Well, we're gonna do the walls and sidings first. I'll take this wall here, you can do one of the other ones. We might not finish today, you know, Vash...

[There was a lot of space to cover, especially if they had to cover up that rainbow explosion. Then the ceiling... Eh, she enjoyed it, but it'd take a while - longer, considering she is rather bite-sized. Regardless, the little ponclet dips her brush into the paint, and leaps forward to begin painting.]

That's alright! No need to rush it after all.

Right, right. I just don't want your room smelling like paint so bad you can't sleep in it.

[Miyabi gets her wall down probably a lot more slowly than Vash does, as she's rather nitpicky and scrutinizes her work like any artist does. At least the coat's nice, and even, and it looks pretty good. She moves onto the next wall and finishes that up as well.

When that's done, the painter sighs, flops on her rear, and wipes her forehead. It wasn't easy hopping around left and right painting walls. Especially when you're barely an inch tall. Her stomach gives a particularly loud grumble, and Miyabi puts her hands over it, blushing.]

Eh...heh.

There's a spare room - I can sleep in there a night or two if I have to.

[Grins] Time for a break?

Oh, all right...I just don't want you getting sick from the paint, Vash.

[Rubs her stomach a little, laughing sheepishly.] Hehe, y-yes please. I'm sorry to trouble you.

No problem at all! What would you like?

Hm, well...you know I've never had those things you like so much. Uhm...what were they called again? Donuts?

You've never had a donut before?!

WE MUST FIX THIS RIGHT AWAY!

But the best donuts are the freshest ones! So we should go to the bakery and ask for ones just made!

[L-LOL, Vash. Miyabi blinks and actually jumps at his shout, then just...stares and laughs sheepishly. You're so weird, big brother.]

Well, I guess we can go. It'll give the paint a chance to dry and we won't be around all the fumes and stuff. Hehe, thanks a lot, Vash.

No problem! [Lowers his hand with a grin] Need a lift?
