[At first, Hubert drops by in the morning and sees Pao-lin, but decides to leave her for the time being and heads off, seeing as how he has nothing to contribute to the mural. He returns within a couple of hours, when the colors are being laid down.

. . . She still looks busy. The fact that he's no longer a child makes this all the more awkward on his end, since a part of the enthusiasm up and vanished, but that's no fault of hers. Isn't that why he came regardless? With that thought in mind, all he can do for now is simply stand by and watch from a fair distance.]

NO THESE TWO ARE MORE IMPORTANT, SOB. (THEY'RE CERTAINLY MORE ENTERTAINING.) lightningcute November 29 2011, 10:15:14 UTC
I'm glad you did. You didn't have to.

WELL, I CAN'T DENY THAT THIS IS WHAT'S KEPT ME UP FOR THE PAST 20 MINUTES. mistyarc November 29 2011, 10:16:55 UTC
I detest lying.

[Yes. Just throwing that out there.]

THESE TWO, ALL NIIIIIIGHT LOOOOONNNNGGG........ lightningcute November 29 2011, 10:22:01 UTC
[Pao-lin gives him a confused look, unsure exactly why he felt the need to clarify that. She returns to her work, but then her gaze strays to the plate of food on the ground. Some of the rainbow cookies are looking a little too rainbowy.]

Oh, drat, I got paint on my food.

[Just gonna. Crouch down and tear off the painted pieces and put them on a napkin nearby to be thrown away later. No biggie. Oh, and might as well sneak a bite of a cookie while she's down there anyway.]

MAN, I WAS SO TIRED YESTERDAY FROM STAYING UP TO TAG. mistyarc December 1 2011, 06:03:17 UTC
[Why is a Hero snacking in the middle of "work" . . . He can tell just from glancing through his peripherals.

Well. Even the most awesome people need to indulge themselves from time to time, or so he reasons with himself. Without missing a beat or moving his head and continuing to paint, he throws out:]

If you're hungry, you can take another break.

YOU KNOW YOU LIKED IT. lightningcute December 1 2011, 06:33:07 UTC
What? No, I'm fine! I do this all the time. [Admittedly, she's worked with dry media way more than with paint, but still.]

/SOB I DID. mistyarc December 1 2011, 07:31:37 UTC
Yes; however, you've been working on the mural since early in the morning. It doesn't seem as though you've taken long breaks.

MEANWHILE I AM TAGGING AFTER TYPING ALMOST NON-STOP FOR HOURS TODAY... lightningcute December 1 2011, 07:48:56 UTC
[Pao-lin pauses then, because Hubert's right. She's probably been up since before sunrise, and even her amazing energy reserves has limits. As if to further prove his point, she ends up yawning. She frowns at him in mock indignation.]

Well, I was fine until you mentioned it...

[He fixes his glasses, then goes back to painting.]

It would've kicked in after a while. There is nothing wrong with taking a well-deserved respite.

[She surveys what she's working on. She's maybe a fourth of the way through a row of feathers.]

Hmm. Well, I guess I'll just finish this row before I go sit down, then.

[And she does follow through with that, though she looks pretty reluctant to leave her work. When the last feather of the row is painted, she glances over at Hubert.]

Wanna come with me?

[He glances at Pao-lin before turning back to the mural.]

I haven't worked as long as you have.

[Taking a break now would be premature for him, and he's neither hungry nor tired. Though, considering who's asking . . . ]

[A small laugh.] I guess that's true. [She sets down her brushes and palette and scoops up her plate of food again.] Well, I'll try not to be away for too long. If you need me, I'll be sitting near the food table! [Obviously.

She starts to walk off, then turns.] Oh, did you want me to bring anything for you when I come back, like water or something?

[He keeps working, though he shoots Pao-lin a quick look through his peripherals. His strokes are less stiff.]

It's fine. I already ate. [And drank.]

If you say so. Just come get me if you need anything!

[She heads over to park herself in a chair near the refreshments table, picking up a cup of water to go with her food. The table and general chillaxin' area is situated nearer to the path, so she has a good vantage point for surveying the whole of the mural and everyone working on it.

Pao-lin can't help but smile as she takes a sip of water. Even if they were behind schedule, things still looked pretty good overall, especially considering that most of the other people painting claimed that they hadn't ever done so before or weren't that good at it. It probably helps that the design is fairly simple and they're only in the preliminary stages of putting it down, but still, it's amazing what people can do when they work together, isn't it? And Pao-lin feels warm and fuzzy with pride that she helped to organize this, that others listened to her and agreed to work with her and that they're already getting this far on the first day. She can't take all the credit for the project -- she ( ... )

[Painting is supposed to be fun, but Hubert's treating it as little more than necessary work to be done. Wilder as his strokes are, they're still done as meticulously as ever. While he can't connect to the mural on a personal, he understands that this means more to others, including Pao-lin. It's only right to put his best effort into it, then. His younger self would have wanted to do the same, anyway.

He manages to keep this up for a good while until he feels something drilling holes into him from behind, so he turns, and he sees Pao-lin in her sunny glory. Unwittingly, he stares for a second too long -- long enough to make it awkward for himself, and with a curt nod he snaps back to the mural and slaps the brush onto the surface. In the process, dots of excess paint go airborne and hit him in the face.

Just his luck. (Thankfully, it's only a few tiny splotches here and there, like colorful moles ( ... )

[Pao-lin doesn't notice Hubert's little mess at the mural, being busy with talking with someone who came back from break. After that, she scarfs down the rest of her food before glancing back at Hubert. A silly idea occurs to her then...

Don't mind her, Hubert. She's just going to attempt to sneak up on you from behind and try to tickle you.]
