[Console] (Video) ❅ The Fourth

[stonebird]

(Despite using the console in the Hotel's lobby, Alayne has made herself as comfortable as she would be in her room. She is sitting at a table with pieces of paper placed around her. Three drawings are easily visible: one is a large wolf, another is an equally large hound with a deformed (or injured) face and the last is a bird in a cage. She moves her pencil over the sketch of the bird, adding shadows.)

Choose an animal for yourself. Then think of the animal others would choose for you.

Are they the same?

(She switches to the sketch of the wolf, adding shading there - particularly around its neck.)

If not, why?

(Also, thanks to her lacking her hair dye, the whole of Tu Shanshu can now see that her hair is auburn.)

If you have a talent for drawing, you could give us a picture of each species. (She admits it's for her amusement - or entertainment rather - but she is curious how two species can be combined. Are them seamless combinations or strange?)

The only creatures I can think of that come close in Westeros are Dragons, Unicorns and Krakens. (But, as far as she knows, all of those are either hardly seen or extinct.) How did you learn the subtleties of the...Purple Pentapus?

(Her cheeks color and she bows her head.)

Auburn. My hair is auburn. My mother used to say it was the shade of beaten copper.

Talent for drawing? Do I have a talent for drawing? My good lady, ask and you shall receive.

[Smarmy grin.]

I mean, we've got dragons. Not many left, but they used to be common as mud once upon a time. Though unicorns and krakens would be the sort of animals that I thought people would make up. You know, just like bears.

[Though he pauses on the last bit momentarily.]

So... is beaten copper a compliment? Because copper should still be pretty shiny, right?

[The second half of Sokka's reply come a little bit later. He's certainly spent a little bit of time making his artwork. Carefully considering each stroke and exactly where it should go. Never interrupt the skills of an artiste.

[And so when he finally comes back, he'll hold up three separate pieces, each of which were made with a brush on a sheet of paper. So beautiful.]

Here you go! Armadillo lion... iguana parrot... aaaaaaand... purple pentapus.

[Never mind the ball and goofy tongue that he's added to the armadillo lion, the fact that the iguana parrot does not add fire, and that the pentapus isn't supposed to have six legs. Artistic license.]
