Hey there! It's Daylight vis Lornlit. Sorry but I'm kind of busy right now so I'm not around. Hence the recording, haha.

But! Feel free to leave a message and I'll get back to you!

[MAYBE ONE DAY!!]

I don't think it's too much to ask, but something tells me she doesn't exactly handpick our destinations that way.

[sunborne]

Awwwww. That sucks to hear. (っ- ‸ – ς)

I mean!! It's the truth but shucks all the same.

Can we at least ask for less death storms in the future when we travel somewhere? Because I think one death storm is one too many for anyone. Even for awesome cool peeps like us.

[purrtagonist]

You know what.






Sure.

[he still doesn't really think Astoria will have much of a say on whether they face another death storm or not, buuuut. he supposes. asking can't hurt??]

[sunborne]

Awesome!! I hope it goes down well.

Oh! Speaking of which!! I finished my first rough sketch of you and your lizard buddy! [ he had to past the time while meddy kept him in bedrest, after all. ]

Do you wanna see it?

[purrtagonist]

[oh! sudden subject changer is sudden, but honestly, talking about Daylight's art is probably way better than talking about the storm]

Oh, yeah? As though I'd say no. We modeled pretty hard for that piece.

( text to video. )

[ the modus operandi of daylight when something heavy comes up: 'man this subject is getting kind of intense- time to suddenly swerve to something else!!'

daylight doesn't reply right off the bat. instead he's switching from text to video, the screen suddenly showing a napping meddy bundled up in a nest of pillows and blankets - the design seems to hint their origins from el minha's marketplace - before it turns to a drawing pinned to a wall.

it's a black and white sketch of akira spending time iwai, somehow capturing an instance where iwai is looking up at akira after being fed his meal. akira is smiling, animated, and in the motion of speaking to daylight. from the way daylight draws iwai's position and expression, it seems he's looking at akira with affection. grumpy affection but affection all the same.

while some details are a little wonky - akira's neck can't be that long, and surely his hair isn't that fluffy - its' clear daylight tried to capture what he thought was the emotions of the moment.

daylight speaks up, sounding nervous and worried. ] Sooooo... Thoughts?

[purrtagonist]

[. . . . . . oh]

[Akira's spent enough time with Yusuke to understand a little bit about art. he isn't a master critic or anything, but he's learned how to read the emotions of a piece, and whether they're dull or full of life. and even if some of Daylight's details are off? the entire piece is lively enough that Akira doesn't think it matters]

It's amazing.

[he says that immediately, gaze drawn towards Iwai in particular and the personality Daylight gives an otherwise ordinary racing gecko. so much color in an otherwise plain, black-and-white drawing!1]

[sunborne]

Really? You think so?

[ there's a faint sound of fwish-fwish-fwish in the background. most likely? that happens to be his winglets, happily wiggling in joy to hear akira's approval.

daylight tries to keep a steady hand while he continues to record the drawing while speaks, trying to keep himself in check but ohbythedustnadrust akira likes it!! score!!! ]

I'm happy to hear that!! [ he is. he really is. ] I hope Iwai likes it too when he gets to see it for himself.

... If you want- You can have it when I'm done. I've just gotta finish the lines and then colour and shade it but, um, yeah. When I'm done- You can have it.

[purrtagonist]

[o-oh]

Ah. . . are you sure?

[he wouldn't mind taking it, but. . .! it's Daylight's art project. he worked so hard on it, and Akira's surprised he'd give it away so easily. then again, Yusuke did gift him Desire and Hope]

[sunborne]

I’m sure!

[ there's a faint tone of nostalgia as daylight continues to speak, no doubt remebering something from his past: ] Auntie Chris once said that art is a message from one's heart, a communication for something you can't really put into words.

'Art is when words themselves fail to describe the image you see in yourself. Art is when you take matters into your own hands, and build the image itself as you see it.' Those are her words, and I like to think if something really comes from the heart, you shouldn't be afraid to share it or let someone else have it.

[purrtagonist]

[. . . .]

[when Daylight finishes speaking, Akira is smiling]

I think your Auntie Chris was right on the money.

Thank you, Daylight.

[sunborne]

[ daylight smiles back, winglets wiggling from happiness. ]

That's what friends are for, Akira! [ he looks back at the sketchpad, sticking the tip of his tongue out in concentration. ] Now- Let me finish cleaning up the lines over hereeeee and we can call it a day! I should let you and Iwai get some proper rest now.

[purrtagonist]

[and as though on cue, Iwai skitters onto Akira's shoulder, blinking his beady eyes right at the video feed]

Iwai and I are fine. But we'll get some rest. Promise.
