Oh, s-sorry..didn't know someone was there..

Sorry, I didn't know anyone was there...

Right next question then. If this is my room…. then what are you doing here? 

Was looking for someone, but I must've gotten the wrong floor. And room, it seems. I'll be leaving now.

Your muse catches sight of a tattoo they didn't know mine had--what's their reaction?

Wait… it is.. or it isn’t my room?

Are you deaf or something? It is your room. Either that, or you're just dreaming and you're actually sleeping in the middle of the hallway.

This isn’t my room… is it?

Last time I checked. Yes, it is. 

Ryker smiles up at Zoe when she complimented his work. “Thanks! You can have it.” He said, holding the picture up to her with the same warm smile. 

"Gee, thank you so much, kid," she grins and accepts the paper. "Do you take art classes on drawing people? Just curious."

"Just a.. few… more… alright! It’s done!" He said with a smile and then looked back at the picture. The picture turned out pretty good, for his second time drawing someone. So, he was pretty satisfied with his work. "Come check it out!"

Z skips over to him and leans down to get a closer view of the picture. "Wow, Ryker. That's really really good." She grins and ruffles his hair. "You've got a talent for it, kid." 

"It’s coming along good! Just finishing up your face structure and features. Stuff like that," He said in a quiet voice as his focus was on the drawing. "Yep, definitely!" He laughed with her, moving quickly around the paper to finish the drawing.

"Oh okay," she replies eagerly. "Good to know," she says with a wink and chuckle. She watches him draw from the corner of her eyes, excited to see the finished result. 

Ryker laughed at her comment, shaking his head slightly as she drew her while she spoke and laughed. There was a moment of silence while she reached across the desk to wipe off a smudge that was on his forward. After she moved back to her normal position, Ryker chuckled and wiped at his forward. “No need to apologize. Thanks for getting it off, ha.” 

Z nods and grins at him. "You're welcome. So, how's it coming along?" She tucks a strand of hair behind her ear. "So, am I looking all pretty yet?" She laughs. 

"Hey, if you want me to draw you, you’re going to have to stay still. I’m still not the best at drawing people but if you stop fidgeting, it’ll turn out good. So far, it’s looking nice." Ryker said with a small smile, wiping his forehead and leaving a smear of black pastel.

"Draw me like one of your french girls," she laughs. Then: "I'm trying, I'm trying," she chuckles softly and does her best to sit still. Her eyes meet Ryker's as he looks up at her while drawing. "Hey you, um, have a bit of pastel on your.." she trails off, licks her thumb and reaches over to wipe off the smudge. "Erm, sorry.."

Chuckles and nods slightly, taking another sip of his drink, his head becoming lighter already. I guess I have to live with that, don’t I? grins. Glad it’s not just me then. He laughs and nods again, standing up. Should we go make fools of ourselves?

Yep you do. She laughs easily. Good. She says simply and laughing again, she stands up as well. We shall. 

He chuckles softly and nods his head. I can live with you having to think about it, for now at least. He grins and takes another sip of his drink. Only guess? He teases and chuckles. That’s very true. I try to avoid it at all costs. I’d rather sit on the toilet for an hour than throw up. As gross as that might be. He laughs and nods. You’re welcome, I guess.

Alright then. Grins and takes another sip as well, already starting to feel lighter. Yep, only 'guess'. Smiles. Yeah, I think I would, too, actually. She cracks up. She returns a nod. 

That’s very true. As long as we are enjoying ourselves, it’ll be all that matters. Grins. Oh, so does that mean I’m not in trouble anymore then? Since you’re drinking just as much. He chuckles and takes another sip of his drink. That wouldn’t be good, to be a hypocrite, I mean. Laughs softly. Really? Well, I can’t say that I blame you. I don’t fear it, but I definitely don’t enjoy it. He smiles and shakes his head. Your secret is safe with me, no need to worry.

Of course. She says with a nod. Hmm...I'll have to think about it. She winks and takes another sip of her drink. I guess not. She chuckles. I have yet to meet anyone who particularly enjoys it. Laughs. Thanks, I guess. Returns a smile.
