Lily giggled some as she plopped back down at the bottom of Emile's pocket, humming some as he hurried off.
Astral was in the living room, not looking up as he heard Emile pass in one of the nearby halls.

Emile was doing his best not to end up in the living room where he assumed Astral was, trying to follow his path from earlier and get right back to the library.

Thankfully, Emile didn't end up in the living room, and Astral never spotted him. Lily hummed some as they went back to the living room, staying seated for now.

Emile opened the pocket back up once they got to the library. “Okay we’re here.” He announced. “You can get out now.”

Lily grinned, moving to stand up. She grabbed the edge of Emile's pocket, looking up at him.
"Yeay!! What are you gonna draw?"

"I don't know, I usually just draw a bunch of small things." He looked down at the small girl, offering her his hand to help her get out of his pocket. "What about you? Anything special you want to draw?"

"Mm…" Lily climbed into Emile's hand, looking at the crayons. "It's a surprise!" She giggled, looking up at the man with a grin.

"Well okay then, ma'am, I'm looking forward to it! Just let me know if you need any help." He just picked up a pencil for himself, reminding himself to be careful to watch out for Lily while he was drawing.

"Okay!" Lily moved over to grab one of her crayons, standing it up. It was almost as big as her, but she managed as she started to draw on her paper. She hummed some, giggling.

Emile looked over at her every once in a while, finding himself smiling every time he did. He was being extra careful that his movements from working on his own sketch wouldn't knock her over.

Lily hummed some as she drew, quiet happy as she did. She had to draw normal size because of the crayon, moving around her part of the paper with a happy grin.
"Done!" She said stepping back. "Guess who it is!"

He moved over to inspect her drawing. “Hmmm I dunno kiddo, who is it?” He asked, looking over at her.

"It's you, silly!" Lily giggled, looking up. She grinned, holding her crayon that she had been using last to her chest.

“Oh! It looks great!” Emile exclaimed, smiling at her. “You did a good job!” He praised, patting her head gently.

Lily grinned as she was praised, leaning into Emile's hand.
"Thank you!" The girl looked so happy, taking her crayon in her hands again to start another picture.

Emile continued to smile as he moved his hand off of Lily’s head, continuing the sketch that he’d been working on. He began adding more details, having gotten the base of the sketch done.

Lily hummed, taking a few steps as she kept drawing. She wasn't near as detailed as Emile, putting the color where she thought it went without any guides but her own mind. She looked over to see what Emile was drawing, jaw-dropping.
"Woah… That's so cool!!"

Emile looked over at her, pleased with the compliment. “Well thank you. I’ve had lots and lots of practice.” At the current moment, he was sketching one of the souls that had been staying with him and Alec. They’d just gotten there and had still been very nervous, and Emile thought that this would be something that could cheer them up some, if he was ever able to get it to them, that was.

"Yeah… Do you think I'll get that good one day?" Lily looked up at Emile still, smiling brightly. She looked down at her drawings, trying to mimic Emile's technique, not doing very well. She didn't mind, though, still smiling.

“Sure kiddo! As long as you keep practicing, anything is possible.” Emile reassured. He was glad that she really was having a good time. “But the most important part about art is having fun. So I think as long as you’re having a good time, you’re doing a great job.

"So cool…" Lily giggled, looking up at Emile again.
"And I'm having a really good time! Thank you so much for doing this with me." Lily hummed, pausing to put her crayon down. She made her way over, hugging Emile's hand as best she could without messing him up.

“You’re welcome, dear.” He said, smiling down at her, pausing in his work so she could hug him. “Would you want to do this again tomorrow then?”

Lily looked up, gasping some.
"Can we really?" She asked, grinning still. "Yes please!!"

Emile laughed softly. “Of course we can! It’ll be fun!” It was nice to see her being excited about something. Already she was a lot different than the scared girl he’d met just yesterday.

"Awesome!!" Lily grinned, stepping back from Emile's hand. She grinned, careful to not step on Emile's drawing.
"Thank you so much!!"
