stress relief drawings

Leafy was sitting by herself next to a tree, drawing some of the plants she saw in a notebook. She often drew as a stress reliever and decided to continue even if she calmed down. She was fully focused on the way her hand moves the pencil she was holding on paper. It was fully quiet, just Leafy and other non-sentient plants.

Then something fell through the leaves of the tree.

"What's up, Leafster? Why so sad?" Gelatin asked enthusiastically.
"Me? Sad? No-no-no, not as much as earlier. In fact I'm quite relaxed right now! This is a really calming environment." Leafy answered him, smiling genuinely.

Gelatin looked over at the notebook curiously. He was in awe of Leafy's attention to details. He didn't want her to think he's intruding on her privacy, so he stayed silent, wanting to compliment her drawing skills.

"Hm, Gelatin? Is there something wrong?" Leafy questioned him, visibly worried. Gelatin snapped out of his thoughts and looked at her. "I was thinking about how good your drawings are! Very.... detaily? You should definitely draw more!" He started complimenting Leafy, resulting in a flushed expression from her.

"Why, thank you! I put a lot of effort in the things I make when stressed. It helps me forget about it and calm down." She answered after a bit, still blushing.

Gelatin noticed the reddish hue on Leafy's face. He, being a curious soul, decided to ask about it. "Leafster?? Are you blushing?" The question made Leafy snap out of her train of thoughts.
She simply looked at him awkwardly. After some time Leafy got up. "It's getting a bit dark, we should head to the cabin." She said, looking over at Gelatin. He just nodded and stood up, getting ready to go back.

Gelatin picked up the notebook with Leafy's drawings. He ran up to her and tapped her on the shoulder. "Hey, isn't this yours?" He showed her the notebook. She took it, thanking him for being so attentive. They then walked to the Have Cots cabin in peace.

When they got back, Bubble bombarded them with questions about where they've been for almost an hour. The duo answered them calmly, understanding her concern, considering she looked for them.

After the questions were all answered they headed to bed, exhausted from walking to the field and back.
