The Country of Lesia

Theo draws

It was a usual day at the Villaurban airport. Alexa, the plane mechanic girl, sat down at the table and began to draw. She was very good at drawing and it was her hobby.
"What are you doing?" with interest asked Theo, a small delivery plane.
The girl flinched a little as she hadn't noticed Theo earlier.
"Oh, I'm sorry. I must have scared you." Theo said when he saw the girl flinch.
"It's okay," Alexa replied. "Theo, I'm drawing now."
Alexa showed Theo her drawing.
"Oh, so beautiful! I didn't know you were an artist!"
"It's a hobby." Alexa replied modestly.

"Can I try draw too?"
"You? But how? I don't think you can use wheels for this. How are you going to draw?" Alexa was surprised.
Theo looked resentfully at Alexa.
"Okay. Here's a piece of paper and a pencil."
"Thank you." Theo said and took a pencil in his mouth.
"Um, interesting solution." Alexa said.
She watched as Theo carefully sketched something with a pencil. He was very interested. Suddenly Alexa got a call and said something. Alexa had to leave. She got up.
"I'll move the other pencils closer to you. I have to move away for now. I'll come to you later."
"Okay "

In one hour Theo finally finished his drawing. It was a picture of a plane. Theo was very pleased. He began to draw another picture. This time he drawing a bird.
When Alexa returned, it was already the end of the working day.
She entered the hangar and found Theo asleep. There were several drawings next to him. Alexa took a few of them and began to examine. Then she put them in a pile, walked over to Theo and stroked him gently. He opened his eyes and looked at Alexa.
"It's morning already?" he asked.
"No, no. It's still evening."
"That's good..." Theo said and fell asleep again.
Alexa put out the light and left the hangar.
"Good night, Theo." she said softly.
