Basou looked at her and smiled behind the mask. "Thanks, but yours is much better Arachne." he said.

"You'll get better at drawing," Arachne said, "Trust me~"

"That's what practice is all about." He said and smiled. "So what else should we draw?" he asked curiously.

Arachne shrugged her shoulders. "Pick something," she said with a smile.

Basou looked at her for a while and blushed. "I think a tree would be nice...don't you think?" he suggested and looked at her softly.

"A tree would be nice, but the details of the bark would be hard to attain with only pencils..." Arachne said with a small chuckle.

Looking over at a tree, he stared at the bark carefully then turned to face her. "Hmm....I see what you mean." he said and looked around. "Well then, maybe we can draw something else?" he suggested.

"How about the lake?" Arachne said, "It isn't as hard as a tree..."

Basou looked at the lake and raised an eyebrow. "How in the world do you draw water though?" he asked her. He really didn't think drawing water was even possible...but she'd teach him right?

"You shade it in to look like water..." Arachne said with a chuckle as she showed him how.

Basou looked at her confused at first, but then he noticed exactly what she was doing and was beginning to understand. "Okay...I think I know how to do this..."

"It's a lot simpler than tree bark," Arachne said, "Trust me." She continued to draw, taking her time with it.

As Basou watched her, he ran a hand through his hair and focused on what she was doing. "Well you sure do make it look easy.."

"Just takes practice," Arachne said, "Besides.... Shading is the easiest part when making water..."

"Well it does really look nice...but it's messy isn't it?" he asked her as he looked at her then at her drawing.

"It's only graphite," Arachne said, "Sure, you get it on your fingers, but it's not that messy..."

Basou nodded and continued to examine the drawing and the movements she was making to draw it. "I see...wouldn't drawing with pen be better? or colored pencils?"

"You can't fix your mistakes when you draw with a pen," Arachne said, "Colored pencils are hard to blend together if you're a beginner..." She looked at Basou and smiled.

Basou listened to her and nodded. "Right, I got it. So use only pencils..." he said and nodded. "I'll try to remember that." he said and chuckled.

Arachne giggled. "You can use a pen or colored pencil when you're more experienced," she said with a smile.

Basou nodded. "Okay then..good because I think drawings need color to them." he said. "Keeping them just grey can be depressing you know Arachne." he explained and looked over at her drawing.

"That's so very true," Arachne said, "But you're not ready for coloring just yet~" She smiled at him.

"Yeah, I'm not ready yet." he said and thought a bit about all that had happened. "Do you have a favorite color Arachne?" he asked her and hid a smile behind his mask. He himself didn't really know what his favorite was.
