Basou followed her inside and blushed when she looked at him, he didn't even know why though. "Yeah, I'll show you. The painting stuff is always in the back." he explained and led her over to the back of the shop. When they got there, they saw canvas of every size, paints of every color and kind, and brushes of every width.
|
Arachne followed Basou, her eyes seeming to light up as soon as she saw the art supplies. "There's so many!" she said, looking through them all.
|
"Well they have to please every kind of artist out there, so they make sure that they have a bit of everything for everyone." explained Basou. He was happy to see her so excited about seeing this, even though he didn't see how someone could get so happy when they saw this.
|
Arachne chuckled softly. "I haven't had a chance to use a lot of art stuff," she said, "Whenever someone visited me, they sometimes brought me some paint, a couple brushes, or a canvas..." She started to look at the brushes, running her fingers over the bristles to see which ones were softer and which ones were stiffer.
|
"I'm not a very artistic person...I can't even draw so I never bothered painting." commented Basou. "I prefer to read all day and walk around..." he explained and watched her carefully. Such a beauty... he thought to himself.
|
"I could try to teach you how to draw," Arachne said, looking over at Basou with a couple brushes in her hand, "Everyone starts out somewhere, afterall." She smiled at him before looking at the canvases, running her fingers over the corners to feel the differences of the textures.
|
Basou looked at her and shrugged. "That would be nice, but I don't know." he said and looked away, his eyes looking over at other things. "Maybe art just isn't my cup of tea..." he explained and looked at the pencils and sketch pads.
|
"It takes time though," Arachne said, "No one is born being great at art. You have to practice..."
|
"You have a point." he said and sighed mentally. "I suppose I can give it a try then.." he replied as he looked at her and smiled behind his mask.
|
Arachne smiled back. "Then you might want to get a couple sketch pads, some pencils, and a few big erasers," she said as she pulled a couple canvases off a shelf. She then went to look at the different paints.
|
Basou nodded. "Okay then...I'll get the supplies." he said and turned away. Looking at the sketch pads, he grabbed three of them and grabbed many pencils and three big erasers. "I think this will be enough..."
|
Arachne looked at the stuff he got. "Yep," she said. She had a few brushes, paints, and canvases in her hands.
|
"Did you get all that you need Arachne?" he asked her as he looked at the art supplies in her hands.
|
Arachne nodded. "Yup," she said with a smile.
|
"Let's go pay then..." he said and walked over to the counter where two twins stood side by side, a female and a male. "Hello Poppet, Hello Widget." he said and placed their things on the counter. "Hello Basou!" they said in unison. Basou got out the money and payed for their things before looking over at Arachne. "Okay then let's go." he said.
|
Arachne looked at the twins before looking at Basou and nodding. "Alright," she said, heading to the door.
|
Basou followed Arachne out of the store and looked at Arachne. "So where should we go now? I'm guessing somewhere where we can draw?"
|
"An open space could work," Arachne said, "Do you know where there is any open spaces?"
|
"I know of one...it's my favorite..." he said and chuckled. "Follow me then..." he said and began to walk away from the shop.
|
Arachne nodded and followed Basou. "Does it take long to get to?" she asked.
|
Basou looked over his shoulder at her. "No, we'll get there soon." he said. After a few minutes, they arrived at an open space with a lake in it. "Here we are..."
|
Arachne blinked a few times, amazed at the site of the lake. "Wow..." she said, "What a lovely landscape."
|
Basou stared at her and nodded. "Yes....very lovely..." he whispered as he looked at her and blushed.
|
Arachne looked over at Basou, tilting her head to the side a bit. "Why do you always wear that mask?" she asked.
|
Basou blinked and touched his mask. "I just do...I really have no actual reason to wear it...except to hide something I don't want anyone to see anymore..."
