[Taking advantage of a clear, autumn afternoon, Hong Kong has decided to set up a somewhat makeshift easel on the porch and can be found:

a) Painting. And yep, it's not porn for a change. There are several painted wall scrolls hanging up to dry around the porch, of everything traditional from dragons and tigers to cranes, Mandarin ducks and fish.

[Kira will stop, glancing over at the easel set up on the porch, before moving over a bit in hesitation. She seems to be unsure if she can peek at what's being drawn.]

[ooc: She can probably read the calligraphy decently (cept maybe if there's some changes in the kanji, or Taiwan is using a different language), is there anything she'd need to see specifically?]

[scentofbauhinia]

[if she can read Chinese characters she should have no problem picking out various swear words

if Hong Kong has noticed her yet, he makes no indication of it and carries right on with his painting]

[infinitemars]

[Kira pauses to marvel at the swear words to begin, before finally turning to the man.]

Um... May I see what you're painting?

[scentofbauhinia]

[blinks at the stranger, but nods]

Sure. [he stands to one side as he puts more paint on the brush

the current painting he's in the middle of, is of a traditional Chinese dragon]

[TOTALLY IGNORING YOU being mauled by a tiger over yonder and saving a few of the pretty paintings from the hose instead]

So much for keeping him a secret, hm?

[scentofbauhinia]

[oh sure charles priorities

a-attempting to wriggle free]

...Yeah, well, he needs the fresh air. [oof kwan, ribs being crushed ever so slightly]

[decadenzas]

True, true. [stacking up the drawings in a nice dry corner of the porch and then ambling over] Do you need any help?

[scentofbauhinia]

...Maybe a bit. [sort of swivelling his head around to avoid tiger licks now]

*Leaning on one of the railings that isn't covered with a scroll, and watching.* You know, when you paint this sort of thing it's really quite beautiful.

[scentofbauhinia]

[in the process of doing one with a mountain and some trees in the foreground, but turns to look at her] ...Thanks.

I was planning on selling em or something but you can have one if you like.

[nonconsplay]

Now that you mention it, one or two might look nice around the house.

[scentofbauhinia]

Mm.

Maybe one in the hall or something...

[puts the brush down and sort of makes his way indoors to look

lmfao YOU KNOW THE KIDS ARE OUT, RIGHT...]

[lotuslife]

[don't mind me just sneaking up to read your calligraphy]

[scentofbauhinia]

[oh so the one she's currently reading: five main cantonese swear words and all of them mean dick

if you didn't know that you do now

carrying right on with his painting]

[lotuslife]

[e...eh...........

s-squeak

and stomping up to him stammering broken English you know it's really bad when she starts messing up her English] H-hey! What this ridiculous?!!?

[scentofbauhinia]

[SNORT

attempts to cover the noise up with a cough] ...What?
