A dim atmosphere warmed by candles surrounding a large piece of paper with charcoal scribblings on it forming art. A coffee mug three quarters empty sits on the edge of the paper. A tan hand wraps around the handle of the mug. Bernard brings it to his mouth, taking a sip at the small quantity of coffee still in the mug. It's lukewarm.
Bernard hears a "mrrrph" to his side. He got out of bed to hopefully get a start to his day after having a short nap accompanied by a certain woman, but she had other plans.
Meyra stuck a hand out to him, making grabbing motions similar to a child. "Nooooo, don't goooo" she mumbles into the heavy duvet, "I wanna naaap."
"You can nap with out me there." A small smile creeps onto Bernards face, seeing the grabby hands reminded him of Kaliki when they wanted to be picked up.
"But I miss yoooouu, it's cooooohohoold" Meyra whines, slightly curling into a ball and grabbing a pillow.
"Let me bring the mug to the kitchen, then we can continue, okay?" He looked down at the hair, white and flowing over the grey and black blankets like a silver river over small stones. Meyra turned her head so her eyes met his, red eyes the colour of rubies and skin as pale as fresh snow. Bernard loved her for everything she was, and she was in the same boat. She was always fascinated by the differences they had between eachother, and she saw them as good rather than bad, which was a quality he didn't encounter much.
Bernard took a quick look at the charcoal covered paper, it was a piece he was working on. A lake with a woman and a sword dancing, a larger piece, but one he enjoyed doing.
He went to the kitchen and placed the mug in the sink, leaving it for others to clean come dinner time. He turned around at an all too familiar voice.
"Wacha smiling at?" Oniyun was on a stool.
"How did you get there with out me hearing you?" Bernard was startled, he usually hears these things.
"I'm practicing to catch people off guard, so I guess I'm doin' something right huh?" Oniyun gave a smirk, knowing what has been happening for the past while.
Bernard let out an annoyed sigh. "Perhaps.." he said quietly before heading back to the room.
"Have fun lover boy!" Oniyun laughed before Bernard headed back down the hall to his room.
