So it was Gretel? Well, that was one more bit of Earth folklore to store away and promptly forget for a rainy day. "I don't know how you can do it," Kibitoshin answered, washing his paintbrush. "I can barely sit still for a minute, never mind long enough for someone to paint me."
Anyway, now he just had the face to do. That shouldn't be too difficult, right? He didn't have a black for the outline, but maybe if he mixed up enough colours- well, okay, it hadn't quite made black, but it was dark enough that it could probably pass for black if you didn't look at it too hard. Nor did he have white. Hmm. Oh, well. The eyes and nose were easy enough to put in without being offensively off, but the mouth and eyebrows proved more of a problem. That little flicker of a smile had only lasted a second, so he couldn't copy that, but...
"Oh." It looked as though 'indifference' was harder to capture than he'd anticipated. Somehow, he'd managed to give her a slightly disapproving look (http://i36.tinypic.com/263xcat.png)- a look that he recognised all too well, albeit from someone rather different. In fact, make that plural. He'd been given that look by plenty of people since he'd turned up here. "You haven't ended up looking very happy," he said apologetically. "Maybe I should try the mouth again."
then my work is done~ \o/
