After Arachne found a place to rest, she sat down with her legs under her slightly. "Think you could wake me up in about an hour?" she asked, looking over at Basou.
|
Basou looked over at her and nodded. "Yeah...I'll wake you in an hour Arachne.." he said to her and then walked deeper into his house and sighed softly. Looking at a bookshelf, he looked through the books and grabbed one he had been reading for a few days now. Sitting down near where Arachne was sleeping, he opened up the book and began to read quietly.
|
Arachne smiled slightly and nodded before falling asleep slowly.
|
Basou would glance over at her sleeping and smiled. She was a very attractive person. You can't seriously be falling for her Basou...! You two just practically met! Though...can't deny her beauty. No...forget it Basou you're crazy...get back to reading! he thought to himself and chuckled before continuing to read, though it wasn't long before he gently shook her to wake her up like she had asked.
|
[[d'awww... He's falling for her ;w; how sweet...]]
Arachne shifted slightly, her eyes slowly opening. She yawned slightly before sitting up. "Hnn..." she mumbled, rubbing her eyes, "Thanks..." |
((I know! XD He likes her and doesn't think she likes him! So cute!))
Basou looked at her and shook his head. "No need to thank me Arachne..have a good sleep?" he asked her and put his place on the book before placing it on the floor. |
[[But she does like him! X3 lol]]
Arachne nodded. "Yeah," she said, standing up and stretching, "So, what is there to do around here?" |
((Well he has a hard time noticing I guess...XD))
Basou stood up and placed his book on the coffee table. "Well it all depends on what you like to do." he said and shrugged. "I honestly just spend my days walking around and reading. Poppin and Voluns seem to enjoy running around the place. The girls love to collect things I guess since that's all I ever see them do..." he said and trailed off. "It's too peaceful here...which is boring...but if you want some kind of action, get Brok angry and you have your excitement for the day." he explained and nodded. "OH! There is also the training grounds!" he added. "I only went there tree times...it's fun to fight with people for fun." he said and chuckled. |
Arachne chuckled slightly, rubbing the back of her neck. "It'd be best if I didn't fight," she said with a nervous smile, "I'm deadlier than I look. I'd rather stay in my peaceful state rather than go into a killing rage. It'd be best for us all, after all." She thought for a few moments. "Is there a place to make art? Or maybe get art supplies at?" She tilted her head to the side.
|
"There is only one person I want to fight at the moment...but I will wait until he annoys me again." he said and rolled his eyes. "Ah you're an artist?" he asked and smiled. "Yes, we have a few shops around here...I can take you to the art shop. I'm sure youo'll find something you like. Voluns goes there to buy his canvas and paints." he explained and nodded.
|
Arachne nodded slightly. "Yeah," she said, "I had a lot of spare time at my home, so I did stuff that occupied me. Painting, drawing, knitting, sewing, origami, et cetera et cetera..."
|
Basou laughed. "I never got the hang of the origami stuff...it seems complicated." he said as he opened the front door for her. I don't really do anything artistic..." he said.
|
"I didn't do origami as much as the other stuff," Arachne said as she walked out the door, "But I eventually got the hang of it. You just have to practice enough..."
|
"Practice...I suppose you're right Arachne." he said as he closed the door behind him. "So what kind of art do you prefer to do?" he asked as he began to walk with her to the art shop.
|
"I enjoy painting," Arachne said as she followed Basou, "It's a lot more fun than using colored pencils and you can get a lot more detail with paint as well."
|
"Ahhh...you're a painter too. That's something you and Voluns have in common." he said and nodded as he walked beside her. "Although, Voluns doesn't like to show his art to anyone...I wonder why.." he said.
|
"Maybe he just doesn't want people to tell him what's wrong with it?" Arachne said, "That is... if there's anything wrong with his artwork. I wouldn't be able to tell you since he doesn't show his paintings..."
|
Basou shrugged. "Maybe he's painting something he doesn't want others to see..." he added. "That boy is very...well depressed and quiet ever since he was left alone." he explained. "Voluns really has a hard time talking to people you know..."
|
Arachne looked at Basou, a confused, yet sad, look on her face. "Why was he left alone?" she asked.
|
"Voluns was left an orphan after his parents died. He said his parents died of a sickness..." answered Basou. "Voluns was still pretty small and no one ever took him in, so he really never had anyone to talk to after his parents died." he added.
|
"That's sad," Arachne said, "Losing his parents at such a young age. Heck... I don't even know my family, so he's not alone... I guess..." She chuckled softly.
|
"I know...he lives alone and doesn't really like to open up to anyone...he has only opened up to me over the years. Though there is still many things he hasn't told me I'm sure." he explained. Basou looked at Arachne and removed a strand of hair from her face, gently tucking it behind her ear. Turning away, Basou continued to walk and pointed to the shop. "That's the art shop." he said.
|
Arachne nodded slightly. She smiled softly when Basou tucked a strand of hair behind her ear. She looked where he pointed, nodding. "Alright," she said.
|
Basou began to walk to the art shop and opened the wooden door for her. "Ladies first." he said. With that mask over his mouth, no one ever knew if he was happy, angry or sad. It was always hard to tell what Basou was feeling. "Look around and get anything you want." he said to her.
|
"Thanks," Arachne said as she went inside, "Think you could show me where the painting stuff is, Basou?" She looked over her shoulder at him.
