Closed A Moment Of Peace

Jun was slowly adjusting to everything. It was a different environment, to basically be stuck at school all day every day. He was checking out the different spots indoors that he was allowed to visit. The library had been briefly interesting, but now he was looking at the student lounge. Quite a few people were there, it turned out. He wandered slowly and noticed a girl on her own, probably around his age, sketching. This piqued his curiosity. He approached, thinking carefully over what he'd say. "Hi," he settled on, once he arrived. "I'm, uh, an artist too." He gave a gentle smile. "Do you mind if I join you? Or are you busy?" He hedged his bets, letting her choose whichever she felt more comfortable with.

Jun shyly smiled, then took a seat opposite the girl. "Uh, yeah, I draw. I prefer to paint, but sketching is fun too." He glanced at the drawing the girl was doing. He paused thoughtfully. "Is that...a dragon?" he asked, sort of seeing the shape emerging. "My name's Jun, by the way." He took out a sketchpad from his bag, placing it on the table. He got out a set of pencils and flipped the pages to a barely started sketch that at that moment resembled a bunch of lightly-drawn shapes.

Gaia felt much easier knowing the boy was into art too, it was common ground. "I like to do a bit of both too but mainly just drawing." She said and her movement faltered as the boy said if it was a dragon. She blinked once. Twice. Yes it was a dragon, "Yes they are my favourite. I saw one in Romania a while back," She explained looking back up at the boy. "I'm Gaia," The Slytherin introduced herself in return watching as the boy pulled out his own art supplies. For the first time since getting to the school someone joining her company didn't feel like an invasion of privacy, it felt nice even. "What are you drawing?" Gaia asked curiously, surprising even herself with it.

OOC: I am so used to prickly Gaia but who knew she could be actually nice.

Jun listened attentively, glad to have found someone who also enjoyed art. "Dragons are pretty cool," he said. "Are they scary in person though?" he asked, curious how she found them. He then addressed her question. "I'm trying to draw a unicorn," he said with a shy smile. The sketch was mostly circles and other shapes, clearly meant as guidelines for drawing the parts of the creature. "It's nothing much yet, I only just started."

Considering the question for a second Gaia shook her head. "No, I think they are fascinating and sort of cute too? I don't know I have always loved them." They were kind of cute at least in her opinion. Looking at Jun's drawing that was so far just the directional shapes she nodded. "I mean its a process, sketching I mean. Just like you said, you just started so it doesn't have to look much yet." She said with a small smile, "Do you like unicorns then? Or you just drawing something for fun?" Gaia asked, not sure why but she kind of wanted to know more about the boy or maybe just why he'd chosen Unicorn as his chose creature to draw.

(Sorry for being a bit late with the reply, time kind of got away from me)

Cute? Jun was taken aback by that, but decided not to press the issue. He didn't really agree, but he hardly wanted to challenge her opinion just because of that. That would be self-sabotage. He smiled at her instead. It was sort of charming of her to love dragons, in a way. "Yeah, I like unicorns," he said, a little abashed. "I like beautiful things. Not really...a guy-like thing, is it?" He smiled as though it wasn't a point of contention for him. "But one day I want to make the most beautiful painting I can. One day." He half-mumbled the later part, returning his eyes to his drawing. He wondered if she felt similarly - if she had similar goals in mind.

(no problem, I've been slow with replies anyway lately so I can't judge!)
