Location: Gideon’s mansion
Time: the day before the masquerade ball
Interaction: Crow, Pyrrhus
"'Mind them'?" Pyrrhus asked, the playful light returning to his deep blue eyes. "Perhaps in Sumenna they would be frowned upon, but Cyndarans covet works of art like this. They are very special."
Pyrrhus was about to set to work when he paused. "Hmm, no, I'm sorry but you're too short. Can we do this...ah!"
He caught sight of a tall table.
"Um, pardon me." Without explaining Pyrrhus bent a knee and scooped Crow up in both arms, betraying just how strong he actually was. He carried Crow with ease to the table and sat him on it carefully.
"There!" He said with a cheerful flick of his long tail. "Now we're the same height, and I don't have to put my back out doing this."
He took up the brush again. "It's going to be cold." He warned, moments before he put the brush to Crow's bare shoulder.
Pyrrhus hummed softly as he worked, making every stroke with slow and methodical care. He covered each mark completely, guiding Crow to turn with a gentle touch each time he needed to.
"Tell me about them." He said at length, when he was almost finished. "What do they mean?"
