I am sure that many of you have noticed the strange effects the mysterious fog is having on everyone... I believe it best to stay inside and, if possible, away from all doors and windows. [ for what sebastian hopes are obvious reasons. ] If you happen to be in Traverse Town or by my Bakery please let me know immediately. I have created something of a safe haven in its basement and there is still plenty of room left. [ looks aside as his tone drops to that of a whisper. ] ...let's hope it leaves as swiftly as it came.

( ooc | ** ammended ** you can reply to the feed as normal, but for the action bit i'd like you to assume that sebastian, or somebody else, has let your character inside and lead them into the basement. NO NEED TO REPLY TO THE INTRO BIT ANYMORE. from there you may do as you please. threadhop and threadjack to your heart's content. feel free to also post new comments ( with headings! ) about what you character is doing or what your character would like to do. think of this like a party log, ...just with the aforementioned tweak. )

[Finally meeting some one with the thirst for knowledge as great as his own! That was a tough question however and it did take a moment's head-scratching in order to think up an answer.]

I wouldn't say it was due through any great conviction of mine, it is just the way life is. Some people will understand and accept you while others... will use any chance they have to strike at you. You just have to realize this and then decide what it is you want to do. Would you give up doing something you love just to silence the people who do not care about you anyway? No, that is a waste.

[As if sensing that Leonardo reaches out to gently pat her hand. It can be very lonely at times. He has had his dark moments of loneliness as well. ]

Friends and family can be a great help. I probably would not have managed so much without their support. You make friends with the people who can accept you and try to avoid the ones who do not.

It's far more easier said than done. [She muttered. She smiles at the patting of her hand and prefers to just lean on his shoulder. You're going to have to handle it, Leonardo. Harry isn't here. She's been sad.]

I don't like this mist.

[He readily accepts her need to be comforted right now. Something truly awful must have happened to her in the fog... ]

Si, words are always easier to say than they are to act on.

[Leonardo debated it. Should he ask? Would prying even be appreciated? After a while just sitting in silence he decided to risk it. ]

Did something appear to you in the fog?

I won't bother you with any of that. It's a waste, really. [I'm a waste of space.]

Reading is far more interesting. [She offered him the physics book.] Have fun with it.

If it upset you I would not call it a waste. I have not not much contact with the fog myself but I have heard it can bring a person's worst fears to life. But, this is all they are. Only a fear.

[He does take the offered book. If she really didn't want to talk about it he wouldn't push for details... besides he could be pretty easily derailed, something she had done accidentally by handing him that book. ]

[She could tell. You really were a guy.]

Maybe once the mist is gone, we can see those shops if you'd like.

[-_-'' Sorry! He does not have much experience with women. ]

Those shops? Which shops would those be?

The ones that sell pieces for the gummi ships. Maybe find yourself some paint and brushes for your leisure time? You do draw for fun, right?

[And now the book is forgotten. you are excellent at derailing him today!]

Si, and all I have recently is leisure time. I suppose I will have to find a patron here. There was a moogle who approached me for a small job, I think I will accept it.

[Off track!]

But, I think I would enjoy shopping with a friend. I have none of those things here with me right now. I will also need a quill and some ink, are those difficult to find? I was told not everything from home would be easy to find here.

[She lifted her head from his shoulder and clapped her hands.]

It would be my pleasure! If we can't find some quill's I can always share my own. I prefer them myself. Ink is easy to find.

Then as soon as the fog clears we will have a day of it!

[They could both use the distraction of a shopping trip after this. ]

It's settled then! [And you've cheered her up.]

May I ask how you got into painting? I know you were an apprentice for someone before you started your own work but did that experience grow your love for knowledge?

[Perfect! He had been trying to cheer her up earlier, so it is nice to feel like he succeeded! ]

My father saw how much I enjoyed drawing and showed a few of my early works to Andrea Del Verrocchio, who would become my Maestro. Being an apprentice was how I came to painting and I imagine it sparked my curiosity as well. In Maestro Verrocchio's workshop we would often construct ingegni, complex theatrical devices for plays that would make the actors seem like they were flying or what ever else it was the play called for. And I was taught casting, how to build things, we were always trying out new techniques to see if they would work out better than the old ones.
So, I suppose the answer is yes. I don't know what I would have been doing with out that kind of experience.

You truly are one of a kind, you know. Not many scientists can handle art. You use two different parts of the brain if you that, it's very difficult to some. My parents always tried to keep me involved and my brain at work. I can play a few instruments but I can't pain.

Two different sides... is that why the brain is split like that?

[New discovery get! He does attempt to not get too off track thinking about that. ]

It isn't so difficult. You just need an open mind and a bit of practice. I think some one like you might really take to painting. You should try it sometime and find out if you like it or not.

[What a great idea!]

After our shopping trip I could help you get started? Show you which paints to mix to get the kind of colors and effects you are looking for?

Are you saying you would teach me how to paint?

[Oh gosh. She is- she needs a moment to divulge this. Leonardo Da Vinci. Teaching her how to paint.]

I-I really don't want to be a burden. [Not to mention, she's not sure if she can handle the pressure of making a fool of herself!]

It would be no trouble. I have taught many others how to paint. Once I save up enough for a workshop or find some one to patron me I will need interested apprentices to help around the shop anyway.

[You even have a job offer. :P]

Oh, Mister Da Vinci, I would be honored to be your apprentice!
