WHO: Kaveh, Shigeru, & YOU.
WHAT: Paint & Pour.
WHEN: April 2nd.
WHERE: Spring Segment, Prism Lake
WARNINGS: Drunk Painting.


[ kaveh decided to set up the paint & pour on the shores of prism lake, because a beautiful landscape seemed like something that artists of all skill level could enjoy creating. not to mention, it's also something that probably wouldn't suffer too much if/when guests inevitably started getting tispy. ]

[ there are three canopy tents framing the lake and, unsurprisingly, the first of which has all manner of art supplies: canvases, easels, and paints. the second has an assortment of delicious snacks made by shigeru and the third, final, and likely most anticipated has the wine. there are at least a dozen bottles, each labeled with the segment and shop it came from, because kaveh absolutely went around with the intention of helping them promote their business. ]

[ it's not a complete lie!
everybody wins!! ]


( ooc; feel free to assume that your character received an invitation from either kaveh or shigeru. it IS open to the public though, so if your character is strolling by and so much as makes eye contact with either of them, then they'll likely get dragged into the fun. anyway! bring your own top level~! )

[ Ah. Lumine can tell immediately what this must mean. She's never described to Ayaka the way her brother looks, not in such great detail that she'd be able to paint him with this kind of accuracy. Which means they must have met.

Which means... that she probably never met Lumine before.

To her credit, if not for this, Lumine might never have known. She was just as kind and open as she'd always known the Kamisato heiress to be. Was Ayaka afraid to say something? Maybe afraid of how she would react? She can't blame her. Not based on her own first reaction.

Perhaps, though, she can reassure Ayaka. She also misses her brother--and there's no reason for her to feel like she needs to hide this. It doesn't change the fact that Lumine still cares for her very deeply.

She steps closer from behind, still giving Ayaka a tiny bit of distance--and examines the painting once more. ]

He might be summoning up a constellation.

[ There is no reason to treat Lumine any differently. If the events she's gone through are so familiar to her that if they both told each other's story, it would be as if they lived it together, then what reason does Ayaka have to treat her differently?

To Ayaka, Lumine is just much of a dear friend and trusted ally as her brother is. They worked together to bring peace to Inazuma, she saved Thoma, brought her to a festival for the first time, and treated her like a person, and not some fancy noble lady with a position. There is nothing that could change how Ayaka sees Lumine, despite having never set foot in the same world outside of Ellipsa. ]

Hehe, I think so.

[ Ayaka cannot help but laugh a little at that. Aether had told her about what he and Lumine did, before they became separated. There are still a lot of things that are beyond her level of comprehension, and so much more that Aether didn't even know. But this— she at least knows this. Seen it, even. ]

Do you like it?

[ Because in all honesty... she wouldn't even know what to do with this. She just wanted to paint, not knowing where to even put it when she finished. ]

It's beautiful.

[ It's not just her technique, though, or even her choice of color pallet, although those do lend to the quality that makes it so nice. It's not a perfectly replicated portrait of him, but through the abstract shines the ethereal quality to him that pure realism would mute. ]

I can tell he must have really made an impression on you. You captured his essence well. You never mentioned you were so skilled.

I could never consider myself a professional, but I had been taught painting and other forms of art ever since I was a child.

[ It is why she can do things like this! It is expected from a lady like her. ]

Aether holds a very special place in my heart, just like you do, Lumine.
