Closed A Moment Of Peace

[Gaia Athanasiou]

Gaia had finally gotten a moment of actual peace, between unpacking and settling in and her sister Mania constantly pestering her to show around the Slytherin hadn't actually gotten a moment to just hang out by herself yet. There'd always been someone or something else, but today she'd escaped to the Student Lounge with her sketchbook. She'd started drawing a dragon, her hair was in a messy bun and her brows were very close together as she focused on the drawing. It was nothing but an outline of one she remembered seeing at a sanctuary they'd visited in Romania once. They were beautiful and so grand the image of it was forever printed to the first years memory. The only thing missing was maybe her headphones for some classical music, but it was okay since it was quiet too so it was perhaps even better she had no headphones or electronics for that matter.

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.

Gaia was lost in the drawing when she heard a voice speak to her, raising her eyes up to meet the newcomer she felt a soft blush at the way he said he was an artist too. As though her sketches could be called art. "Uh yeah, I mean it is a common space after all, no?" She said with a small smile, she wasn't the best at talking with people mainly because she preferred to be on her own though art was the way to get to her surely. "Do you draw too then, or?" Gaia asked returning her eyes to the dragon that was slowly forming on her paper, really it was just dark outlines for now but soon enough it'd at least look the part of a dragon. Hopefully.

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.
