Nova's POV
"Are you finished?" Leopard asked. "Almost. It's missing something..." Nova replied. Leopard tried making his way over to see it. Nova stepped in front of him. She was smaller, but it worked, and he stood back. "Not yet. Let me finish." Nova said. Leopard smiled, "Fine." A few minutes later, Nova beamed. "I'm done!" Leopard asked, "Can I see?" Nova stepped away, "Sure." Leopard's jaw dropped. "Oh my moons, that's amazing! It looks so good!" Nova had painted her favorite spot in the rainforest, the one with a giant tree, and so many flowers. Orchids, heliconia, you name it! "I had no idea you were such a good artist!" Leopard exclaimed. "Well, when you're friendless like I was, you do what you can to pass the time." Nova said sadly. "Aw, well, I'm your friend." Nova smiled, "I know." She continued, "Can I see your painting?" Leopard fidgeting and looking at the floor, "Well...it's not very good." Nova pressed, "Please? I won't judge. I'm not that kind of dragon." Leopard sighed, "I know. Oh, fine, I'll show you." he said. "Close your eyes though, I want it to be a surprise!" Nova shut her eyes, and waited. "Okay, you can open your eyes." She opened her eyes, and gasped. It was a painting of her. He got everything right...does he pay attention to me that much? Leopard frowned, "I know, it's bad." Nova beamed, "No, it's amazing! But why'd you want to paint me?" Leopard blushed, "Well, I, uh... Ithinkyou'rereallypretty and I like you a lot." Nova felt her face heat up. "Well...thank you." They were quiet for a moment, before Nova said, "I think it's almost time to go to our next class. Let's clean up." Leopard replied, "Yeah, okay. Are we going to the music cave after lunch?" Nova grinned, "Yeah, and we're meeting Serval, and maybe the rest of the winglet, there." Leopard frowned slightly. "Okay." The two put their canvases away to dry, and packed up everything else they had used. Soon enough, they heard the startling crash of a gong. Nova winced. "I'm never gonna get used to that." Leopard laughed, and the two headed to the Great Hall.
