"You're welcome," she said, blushing. "And you two are welcome at my place anytime." She turned towards Alec and gave him an understanding smile. She was shy about some things herself--only she blushed. "I'm sure you'll do all right, Alec," she told him. "Abel is a good teacher." Giving him an encouraging smile, she turned back to see Abel's reaction to his gift.
And blushed hard at both men's compliments. "Th-Thanks. I was hoping you'd like it," she said with a shy smile. See, Alec? She totally understands how you feel from time to time. And she would turn to him and ask him about his subjects while Abel was gone.
"You're welcome," she said when he returned. Taking a drink to hide her embarrassment, she looks at him in surprise. "That's pretty close! Do you remember me telling you about the Summon Spirits? Those are the Spirit of Light. Luna is the Light of the Moon, and Aska is the Light of the Sun."
"You did. The summon spirits are representatives of your world's elements and their mana." He said, nodding while admiring the picture.
"Luna and Aska. Light of the moon. Light of the sun. I love it. Seems almost like there's a reference to alchemy, but also ying and yang where both opposites are a complement to each other in perfect harmony." He said as Abel made a commentary, using his knowledge of the occult and magical references from his books.
Smiling at Sheena, "Thank you very much for this." He said, as he definitely can feel the ethereal beauty and magic from the two figures within the painting that Sheena worked very hard on. Being very excited, Abel got up to store the painting safely in the living room for safe-keeping to be hung up later once he figured it out where.
Abel returned back to finished the rest of their meal and supper. Hopefully, with Sheena as their friend to dine with them and in the future. With dinner came and gone, he turns to Sheena.
"Will you be painting more in the future? I know my next subject will be more on flowers, but with the theme of sun and moon, maybe I should paint something space and star related?" Either way, with Abel inviting her, he hopes they paint more often and do other things together since he enjoys her company and Alec's too, and whatever Sheena choose, his desire to paint mirrors her choice.
Sheena's brows rose in surprise. She had been talking so much that day, that looking back, she had sworn she had driven him crazy.
But, he had remembered...
"Yes, that's right." Her eyes narrowed humorously. "Are you sure you haven't been to my world? Or do you read minds? Because there are opposites for balance. Light and Darkness, Fire and Ice, Lightning and Water, and Earth and Wind." She paused. Where did Maxwell and Origin fit in? The former is the Summon of Birth and the other of Time--though Time has been called the great equalizer. So maybe that way.
She was going to have to think about that later--now that it's occurred to her. But much, much later. Right now, she was blushing and enjoying her meal with Abel and Alec. And hoped they'd be able to do it more often in the future.
Dinner finished, she was sipping her drink when Abel asked his question, and she felt a warmth come over her as her cheeks pinked again. "Flowers, space, and stars..." Her voice trailed off for a moment. He wanted to combine his idea and put it with something based on what she had done? "That sounds really pretty. I'd love to see it when it's finished. As for me--I already decided to do it again before I was even done with my first one!" she said with a chuckle.
"And I already know what my next subject is: that place on the beach we went to when I first arrived at sunset." Yes, he was inspiring her, and she was accepting his invitation because the ninja also enjoyed his company and wanted to spend more time with him.
