The drawings were very detailed and looked as if they could be taken right out of textbooks if it weren't for the trees and other such details in the picture.[/scrolly] |

Blue eyes scanned the pages carefully. Indeed, the art was intricate yet honest and natural looking. Taking up a finger and slowly tracking over the outline of one of the flowers never actually touching the paper itself. "Realism is your forte," Feliciano said quietly as he slowly turned the page and examined the next picture. He looked through a few more in this way before closing the sketchbook and handing it back to Elayne. "You could be an artist, you know," he chuckled smiling lightly. "They remind me of how my mother used to draw at times," he laughed. "Though I think Maria might have been the only one to receive any of that talent in the immediate family." Though it brought up slight anguish in his heart, Felis found it oddly peaceful to talk about his family in a better light than their demise had left them in.

Elayne was about to say something when Felis continued on talking about his mother and Maria. Falling silent for a short time, Elayne took her notebook back, holding it close to her before shaking her head,"That I don't believe ... there are different kinds of artists you know Felis, and what you did in your garden is nothing short of amazing,"she replied kindly before opening up her notebook to a page that had Elly with a ladybug on her nose and smiled, "I've never thought of myself as an artist before but ... I do love to draw, I guess I never had much time before so I never gave it much thought ... ."[/scrolly] |

"Maybe I should have specified a drawing talent then...I do love the gardens as they are though... it makes me happier to work out in them than to be inside all day," he answered back gently before removing his hand from his chin again. "You should try and expand it if you have time now, you know," Felis hummed back at the second comment. "Try painting or acrylic...." he finished. [/scrolly] |

"It would be interesting ... I like doing sketches when I have time so I rather prefer graphite. That and ... I'm not entirely sure where I would find the supplies I need,"she replied in a thoughtful voice. Well ... there was that and Elayne didn't want to go into town where there were so many people that could potentially recognize her. [/scrolly] |

"You know we could go and buy some supplies you need. Money isn't an issue, really," he stated looking Elayne in the eyes before smiling again. "We could go to town maybe tomorrow or so and pick some things up~" he smiled lightly. [/scrolly] |

If nothing else she could try and disguise herself like she had at the party but then again perhaps it wouldn't be as bad when Felis was around. "O.. OK ... ,"she replied quietly,"Yeah, we can do that tomorrow. I just don't ... spend that much time in towns. And I'm not sure I would know what to look for ... I've never really painted before or anything like that."[/scrolly] |

He thought she would be more excited than that. However, as Elayne explained that she didn't know what she would be looking for, Felis slowly smiled. "Ah, I see," he hummed lightly. "Well we could just buy a few different things and see which ones work for you," he answered back lightly. "That way you can get a lot of different things as well~" Yes, that worked well enough. It wasn't like money was really a constraint at all.... [/scrolly] |

They looked similar if not identical, and it was probably the lighting over all that was the only difference. "They look close indeed," he answered back setting a hand on his chin in thought. Slowly turning the page of the actual book, Felis looked at the flowers that were similar on the next page, yet there were noticeable differences between those. Flipping back again, Felis nodded. "I think you've got a ringer," he smiled lightly. [/scrolly] |

This done, she flipped to another page in her notebook and started to look through more of the text book,"I have about five more to go, want to help?"Elayne asked, looking up at Felis as she did so.[/scrolly] |

"Certainly," he answered back before opening a book and looking at Elayne's sketchbook before starting to flip through the pages rather carefully. A good hour passed as Felis flipped through pages, made suggestions to what plant could be what and so forth. After the last of the pictures had been deciphered, Felis sat back and closed his eyes softly. "Well now, that was quite a lot plants," he hummed softly before opening one of his eyes and looking towards Elayne again. "It seems you've been around the east a lot, concerning the locations of most of those plants." [/scrolly] |

After a while they fell into a pattern of sorts which passed the time rather quickly. When Elayne had finished writing down notes for the last plant, she set her pencil down and leaned back in her chair, just now realizing how much her neck and back ached from leaning over the books so long. Rolling her shoulders to ease the pain, however slight, Elayne sighed and looked over at Felis as he commented on where she had been and nodded,"I've always been more comfortable in the woods ... foolish as it may seem when I was running from my parents who happened to live in the east. I guess it made me feel ... I don't know ... at home. Besides, I have no quarrel with my father, it's my mother and her efforts to control me that I grew tired of,"she explained before closing her eyes and rubbing her neck where it was the most sore.
Looking at the time, Elayne half-laughed when she discovered that they had been going over the books for approximately two hours. "Times flies when you're having fun it seems,"Elayne said, nodding towards the clock as she did so.
Elly by this time had fallen asleep by Elayne's feet and was quite relaxed, having not heard or felt anything to be alarmed about. Indeed it had been quite some time since the Espeon had been able to relax enough to sleep and it seemed like very little was going to wake her, at least for now.[/scrolly] |

It was much the same for him. He was born there, and it would always be his home even if he did take up to traveling someday. Blinking, Felis realized just how much Lance must have missed home.... Blue spheres dropped, and a wave of sympathy hit Felis. However, for now, he'd continue to focus on Elayne. He'd think on everything else later. Looking back at her, Felis offered a quiet smile in return. "I know..." he answered back nodding a little in understanding.
As Elayne began to rub her neck, a confused look came and went from Felis's features. For whatever reason, he had grown accustomed to sitting for long periods despite how much he disliked it, and it was becuase of this that he wasn't sore now... or at least didn't register that he was sore. At Elayne's words, Felis grinned. "Indeed," he answered back lightly. "You're always welcome to the library, you know," he chimed as an after thought. As far as he saw it, Elayne could call this home if she wanted to....
Though... he knew sooner or later, that time would come when Aunt Madelyn would call upon him, in some form or fashion... And he knew somewhere in his mind despite his hopes and aspirations that he couldn't keep Elayne hidden forever. He'd have to be open sooner or later. However, he'd wait until Elayne was strong enough to deal with it for herself before anything else. From hearing what had happened, he knew she wasn't ready to deal with it... and especially not at the moment. No... he'd wait... as long as was necessary.
"It's.. actually getting rather late..." Felis commented softly after a moment. [/scrolly] |

It was true that she had stayed mostly in the woods, having gone to the north but a few times ... in fact that was where she had first met Ez ... . Tears welled up in her eyes but Elayne quickly blinked them away and looked towards the bookshelves when Felis spoke up again saying that she could come to the library any time she wanted. After a moment, Elayne smiled slightly and looked back towards Felis,"Thanks ... that means a lot,"she replied quietly before falling silent once again. Looking back at the books, Elayne skimmed over the explanation of the herb that was on the page before closing it and placing on the pile of books she had pulled. Hearing Felis again comment on the time, Elayne looked back up and nodded, "You're right ... ,"she replied quietly, giving a sort of half-laugh as she spoke,"We should probably head to bed ... I think we've both had pretty full days ... ."[/scrolly] |

"Yes, I think that would be good," he hummed softly back slowly sitting forwards again and setting his hands on his back gently putting pressure there to stretch the muscles. Standing up just as slowly, he extended a hand to Elayne. "If you need anything, just tell me," he smiled. "Deal?"

Hearing the question Felis posed, Elayne nodded,"I will ... ,"she replied quietly before bending down to pick up Elly who didn't stir even as she was lifted up in Elayne's arms. "It looks like we're all pretty tired ... ,"Elayne whispered, smiling down at the sleeping Espeon in her arms before glancing back at the books."Wait, what about the books ... ?"Elayne asked before yawning, not even realizing how tired she was until that moment.[/scrolly] |

There wasn't much left to say, and as he walked down the stairs, Felis said nothing. However, as they walked by Elayne's room, Felis stopped a moment and issued out a simple 'night, dear' before turning and walking to his own room and headed to bed. [/scrolly] |

Following Felis down the stairs, Elayne didn't say much else distracted as she was by her thoughts. In fact, Elayne was so distracted she almost didn't realize that they had reached her room and after whispering a quiet 'night,' walked into her room and closed the door. So tired was she that Elayne didn't even change into different clothes before going to bed, careful to set Elly in her little bed before she did so. Soon enough, both Elayne and Elly were fast asleep.[/scrolly] |
