"What does that mean?" She asked, admiring the pen art on her hand.

“Art is long, life is short,” Darcy said nodding towards Lola’s hand. “Or art is short, life is long, because I did that in pen.”

Lola laughed and took back her hand, looking over for the art for a second. "Interesting… what did you draw?"

Darcy shrugged and capped their pen. They ran their hand though their hair and smiled at Lola. “You tell me.”

"I… don't have any idea. I'm not very artistic," she said with a shrug. "Is it supposed to be something?"

"Could be. Why does it matter?" Darcy gave off an impression that the drawing either had a deep, profound meaning behind it, or they had absolutely no idea and had drawn something completely random.

"I guess it doesn't… I was just curious." Lola shrugged and let her hand drop back on the table. "Like I said, I'm not very artistic."

Silently, Darcy uncapped the pen and offered it to Lola, holding the cap between their teeth. They held out their hand towards Lola as well, raining their eyebrows at her in a silent question, waiting to see if she would do it.

Lola reached out for the pen, then froze, hesitating. "I'm horrible at drawing…"

"Just try it," Darcy said, their voice muffled from the pen between their teeth. "I don't care how good it is."

Lola shrugged, and gently took the pen from Darcy's hand. She slowly drew the outline of what seemed to be a melting heart. Her brow furrowed as she concentrated, and after a minute, she was done.The lines were wobbly and scratchy, and the heart didn't exactly look perfect, but she was oddly proud of it.

Darcy smiled. They survey their hand, then looked at Lola. "That's actually pretty good," they said. "Very creative."

Lola smiled softly, capping the pen and handing it back to them. "Thanks. Yours looked cooler, though."

"Eh." Darcy shrugged. "It's not one of my better ones," they admitted, which was strange because they usually never commented at all on their art.

"You have more art?" Lola asked, raising her eyebrows.

“Oh.” Darcy realized what they said. “Uh yeah.” They reached down and pulled a black leather notebook from their backpack. They opened the book and flipped through the pages. They held open the book to show Lola. Both pages had an exaggerated version of a human head, with circular heads and long, wide noses.

Lola's eyes widened at the drawings. "Wow… that actually looks pretty cool," she said, flashing Darcy a smile.

“Thanks,” Darcy said, smiling back at her. “I drew in it a lot last year, but I kinda stopped. I just found it yesterday.”
