Lula and Kira came across a couple of portraits that were beautifully decorated around the small home in the woods. Many of the paintings were of the forest, others were of the people on the island and most were alluring designs that were mesmerizing. Kira felt this was odd that artwork as captivating as they were would be aligned outside in the woods. Kira noticed Mavis's scent was becoming less as they found where her and Diesel were.

Lula noticed the door was ajar and cautiously entered along with Kira.

"Please close the door behind you," a voice called out.

Kira turned her attention to where the voice was coming from. Behind her was a young woman sitting on her chair, legs crossed with a canvas on her lap and a paintbrush in her hand. The woman had long periwinkle hair that was past her shoulders, sea foam green eyes and fair skin. Her outfit consisted of a short coral dress and was barefoot. She looked to Kira with a look of curiosity as she put her painting to work. Kira looked at the woman with a skeptic look on her face. The woman looked up from her canvas for a few seconds then back at the canvas.

"The hell are you-"

"Don't move," the woman ordered.

Kira growled over this. She stood still waiting impatiently over the woman's demand. The woman stopped stroking her brush then smiled at her new creation. She presented the painting to Kira and Lula. Lula's eyes widen with amusement over the painting of Kira she finished. Kira looked at the painting and tilted her head observing it. The painting was spot on with the details of herself.

"Thoughts," the woman asked.

"It's amazing," Lula smiled.

"You seem to know a lot on art huh," Kira remarked.

Fallon nodded smiling, "I've been drawing for years now and it's something I've taken up since coming to this island."

"Who are you," Kira questioned.

"Fallon," the woman replied, "nice to meet you."

"I'm Lula," Lula replied.

"Kira," Kira answered as she looked away looking for the Le Sage Twins, "by the way, have you seen two people around here in the woods?"

"Hmmmmm," Fallon wondered, "I believe so, what did they look like?"

"One was kinda short and wore a short top, skirt and carried a sword," Kira described, "the other was a tall man with a green scarf."

Fallon's eyes widen as she slammed her fist into her palm.

"I have actually," Fallon blurted out, "they're in the other room helping themselves to food I made earlier."

Kira turned towards the next room and went inside to find Diesel and Mavis gorging in food. They were in bliss over how delicious it was. The table was lined with all kind of food from roasted duck to udon. Kira felt her mouth salivate from the sight of food, then her stomach began to growl out of hunger. Kira placed her hands on her stomach as she blushed in embarrassment. Fallon placed her hand on Kira's shoulder offering her a friendly smile.

"Go on and help yourself please," Fallon urged.

Kira cautiously headed towards the table to seat herself along with Lula. Mavis looked up from her meal then waved to Kira and Lula.

"Try some," Mavis urged, her mouth full of food, "it's delicious."

"Sooo delicious," Diesel muffled, his mouth full of food.

Kira looked away for a second then grabbed some udon that was in front of her. It was an udon soup bathed in chicken broth with beef and chicken, bok choy, fish cakes and scallions that beautifully decorated the dish. Kira grabbed a pair of chopsticks next to her then took a couple of noodles and brought them to her mouth. After she swallowed, Kira's eyes widen. It was delicious! Kira scarfed down her udon as Fallon watched smiling seeing how much someone else loved her food. Lula grabbed a fruit tart and took a bite. Tears streamed down her face. It was divine!
