Sayaka giggled and nodded along with him. “Well, animals are known to be excellent judges of a person’s character and true intentions!” She smiled, proud of herself for knowing that much! She was sure Gundam knew more on that subject after all. She just knew the basics about animals that probably everyone knew. She looked at the hamsters, making sure to stroke each of them so that she would not make any of them feel left out, before speaking up. “I apologize, I must use both hands to finish this drawing.” She said with a smile, talking to the hamsters here. She moved her hand away from petting them and to her paper to hold it steady.

She smiled up at Gundam when he said hers was good too. “I am very glad you like it. I just hope it does you justice!” She giggled and smiled again. She didn’t think her drawing looked much like him except the outline part. Maybe adding color would help. She hoped. She tilted her head as she tried to shade in his hair those many different shades of grey and black. She had about four different shades of grey that she was using, as well as a black. She was still pretty confused just how his hair worked, and if he styled it like that every morning, but she tried to shrug that off and finish up his hair. It was looking pretty decent so far! The grey parts were starting to stand out apart from the black, and that made Sayaka feel accomplished.

Gundam nodded, slightly impressed that Sayaka knew that. "Correct!" He replied, smiling slightly and resting his free hand on the table, "I suppose that means that you are in fact a very nice girl." His eyes trailed down to the hamsters, and let out a small chuckle. "I am sure they do not mind." Plus, they got enough affection back at home. They were spoiled little pets.

It's far better than mine, Gundam thought, simply smiling, she has nothing to worry about. He was impressed so far. He thought that Sayaka was fairly easy to draw; simple, but not in a bad way. A good kind of way, like a single rose. As to how Gundam did his hair; that was a different story. Let's just say that he went through a lot of hair gel. He moved his hand to the colored pencil box, shifting through the pencils to find a pink that best matched Sayaka's bow.

"That’s understandable," She replied, taking the first step out in the hall then following him as he walked them off school grounds. "Not to mention there may be some sort of…ah, health hazard? To bringing them along? Kettle cough and all that," Was that the right phrase? She hoped so. "Like what puppies get sometimes?"

As they continued on, Sonia mentioned something she’d actually been wondering for quite some time. “You know, Mr. Tanaka, you did not bring any fish with you. Is there any reason for that? I mean, under normal circumstances those would be the creatures allowed in anyone’s dormitory, yet you didn’t take advantage of that. Do you not really care for fish, or…?” She trailed off, not really knowing how to continue her questioning.

"Precisely." Gundam replied, pleased with Sonia for understanding. He knew he was right to leave them behind, but still, he still felt strange without them in his muffler. Sort of like a bird afraid to leave her nest; but must do so anyway in order to feed them. He only hoped that Hope's Peak had top notch locks. What was he thinking? Of course they did. Right??

"Ah", Gundam began glancing over at the girl as they walked, "I don't believe fish to be as extraordinary as other species. They are fine, I suppose, but I'd much rather own something else." Plus, Hope's Peak wouldn't allow him to bring that many pets, he had decided on his favorites. "What about you, Miss Sonia?" He asked, "I remember you telling me about the felines you owned, but are you particularly interested in any other species?"

Sayaka smiled and giggled. “Is that unusual for them? I’m very happy they have taken a liking to me. They’re very nice hamsters.” She smiled at them as she kept petting them. She wondered what sort of cute little hamster toys Gundam had for them. She smiled happily.

She quickly sketched his clothing. She had already done most of that since she concentrated on his scarf and hamsters for the longest. She finished that up then looked up at him. She couldn’t help but look at his drawing of her. Her face lit up before she spoke. “That drawing is amazing Tanaka-kun!! But hm…I think the darker shade looks more like my color. Thank you for asking!” She smiled and picked up a black colored pencil to try to match his hair and began coloring a little at a time, making sure to do her best! How can she even color his hair anyway? How did…Gundam color his hair like that was another question she could not answer.

"Not quite unusual, but they can be savage at times." Gundam answered, looking down at the hamsters at the table. They were quite friendly with most people, but occasionally they would immediately attack a different student. Whenever that happened, Gundam would just assume the person was rotten, and get the Gods far away from him.

Gundam smiled a small smile at Sayaka, before nodding and putting down the lighter blue. "Thank you." He took a glance at her paper before saying, "Yours is good as well." Once that was said, He brought the blue down to the paper and began shading in her hair. It was pretty long. Gundam couldn't imagine having long hair. His hair was hard enough to manage as it was; taking care of long hair must be even harder.

Extravagant taste in clothing indeed – Kioku supposed that finding someone who dressed so… elegantly? Royally? Complicated-ly? Was there even a word for it? The choice of outfit didn’t seem common. But she was sitting across from a boy who carried around Four Dark Gods of Destruction. She really shouldn’t expect anything less from him. Besides, it wasn’t really his clothing that was the problem – it was her own tendency to be absolutely anal about details. That wrinkle didn’t look right. The earring was too high up. The scar tilted to the left too much. That hair was a hair out of place. This was why she didn’t draw often: It took too much time.

Plus, she’d spent a little longer than she had to wondering if she should still try to incorporate the scarf in his portrait. She’d eventually decided against it. Which was why one hamster was on top of his head. It kind of made him look like a cartoon character – not that that was a bad thing.

Finally finishing on the collar of his jacket Kioku moved her pencil up to his hair, getting to work on separating the darker and lighter parts with thick lines and light shading. She’s barely even started before a little squeak caught her attention, causing her to glance up and see one little hamster peering over at the paper. Whether this little thing – this one was Sun-D, right? – was actually watching her draw or just wanting to chew at the paper was an honest mystery to Kioku. She didn’t know hamsters. Nevertheless, she moved her hand with a quick apology to the hamster for blocking her view. She wasn’t in front of someone who would take to kindly to someone ignoring them anyway, so she figured it the best course of action. It wasn’t a big deal, though – everything else was drawn. All she had to do was color.

And she would have gotten right on that if the teacher hadn’t announced that it was time to put things away as soon as she’d picked up her first color.

With a sigh the filmmaker’s hands dropped to her side, her vision focused on her paper. It was all drawn out but, as she’d predicted, completely black and white. She’d have to work on it more the next time the class met, or even after classes ended if the teacher had something else in mind for next time. She’d have to ask. She didn’t want to fall behind.

Gundam, on the other hand, was too busy wanting to get it done to fix up a detail here and there. Of course, it wouldn't of mattered; it'd still turn out the way it did. But, never mind that, he was going to finish this project.

Gundam reached over to a pox of colored pencils and pulled out a black one, tapping his finger on the point to make sure it was sharp enough to use. Once satisfied with the tip, he lowered the pencil to the paper and began filling in Kioku's hair. As he was shading it in, he made sure to stay within the lines. With a jolt, Gundam realized he hadn't given the girl eyebrows. Quickly, he shaded in 2 quick brows, then put away the black pencil.

Next, he pulled out a dark green, bringing it down to the drawing's eye- he had decided to close one of the eyes, thinking it'd be fit. Of course, if it bothered the other student, he could pull out his white-out and go over it.

Immediately after Gundma picked up a pencil, he heard the announcement and frowned. All he had colored were the girl's eyes and hair! He supposed he could take it home, though. Curse this class for being so short!

"I could not finish it." Gundam turned to Kioku and held up his drawing.

Hungry Hamsters (gemofnovoselic)

Saturdays to the princess were ‘catch up’ day for soaps, anime, dramas, movies, and everything else media-related that she didn’t have time to see during the week. It was nice because she could sit there in peace and quiet while Gundam read or slept or went out. Since no one usually bothered them and there were no classes, it led to plenty of uninterrupted personal time.That said, Sonia had been sitting on her bed watching a documentary on her laptop when she noticed Gundam getting up from the corner of her eye. She didn’t really pay attention, figuring he was just going to run to the bathroom or something, but when he’d turned to her and started talking, Sonia had to pause the movie and remove her earbuds.

"Pardon me, Mr. Tanaka," She said quietly as he continued talking. "The pet store?" Sonia thought about it for a moment. "You know, I have not yet been there! If you could lead the way, I would be most happy to accompany you!"

With that, Sonia closed the laptop and put it to the side as she got off the bed and stretched before slipping on her shoes and checking her reflection in the mirror. A quick ruffle of her hair and she deemed herself presentable enough to the world.

"Are we going to take the gods with us?"

Gundam nodded at Sonia's response, putting his hands in his pockets as he waited for her to get ready. "I have memorized the way, and it shouldn't take too much of your time." As he watched Sonia check her reflection in the mirror, he wanted to just tell her that she looked fine, but he couldn't bring himself to say it.

"No, I've decided to leave them here." He replied, sitting on his bed so he could pull on his boots. "I am afraid they might wander off in the store." He never really liked to bring them there. He was afraid they might get into the food in the store or socialize with the other pets. No, today the Gods would just have to stay.

After his boots were laced up, Gundam brought himself to his feet. He held open the door for Sonia, and once she was through, he closed it behind him. He made sure it was locked before he turned away from the door.

Sayaka smiled, nodding along with him. “Ah! That makes sense.” She had not petted the other two yet! After she finished stroking Sun-D once more, she reached out one hand towards Cham-P so he could inspect her before she stroked him. She smiled happily when he didn’t seem frightened by her so she petted him too. “They’re all so cute! They seem to be friendly towards me, Tanaka-kun!” Sayaka was having way too much fun playing with the hamsters.

She was almost done with her drawing. Gundam’s facial expression was giving her trouble though. She was used to drawing people happy, and Gundam seemed to be one that was serious most of the time. Maybe…she could do a mix of both! Her face brightened at that idea! Sayaka drew a firm, prominent brow like Gundam had, then quickly added his eyes and the rest of the details that went with them. She smiled down at her paper before glancing over at Gundam’s paper. She noticed he wasn’t looking so she quickly drew a small smile on the drawing of him. She was very satisfied with this! Sayaka knew she had to add a few more details to her drawing, but she was almost done! She started working on his clothes now, glancing up at him to make sure to get them correct.

Gundam flinched slightly at the word 'cute'. The girl seemed to be enjoying herself, so he would let it slide. The hamsters did seem to take a liking to her, after all. So if they liked her, Gundam supposed he could too. They had supreme judgement, after all. What they say goes. "They are being quite friendly."

Gundam set his pencil down, scanning over his drawing. He had finished putting the barrettes in Sayaka's hair, and his drawing was now complete. He caught a movement out of the corner of his eye, and snuck a quick peak at the drawing. He couldn't help but smile just like the one Sayaka drew on him.

He picked up two colored pencils, two different colors of blue. One was slightly darker than the other. He held them up to Sayaka. "Which one fits best with your current color?" He wanted to make it as accurate as possible, so he felt her judgement was best.

Well, what could they do? Kioku wasn’t a fan of having to take certain courses either – though she had nothing against the art class, as opposed to some others – but high school was still high school, and certain criteria had to be met in order for someone to be able to graduate. She’d never quite understood the system but she never really planned on figuring it out. She had no interest in working for, in, or around a school. So she just kind of went with it – it wouldn’t be too too long until they were done with it anyhow, and could either choose their classes in college or move on with their lives.

Kioku glanced over just in time to see Gundam cringe at the… er, ‘nose’ he’d just drawn. Poor thing – he really didn’t like doing this, did he? But the reason why, admittedly, escaped the girl. Was it because he felt like he wasn’t good at it? Or because he just plain didn’t want to do it? Either way, Kioku resisted the urge to cheer him on and tell him to persevere because something told her that he really really didn’t want to hear it.

That all said, she did feel a bit relieved that he seemed to like her progress so far. She still felt like she had a long way to go, after all – the boy was looking at an incomplete product and she normally didn’t show those off. The two back to work, the girl chanced a glance at the clock and wow she hadn’t noticed that much time had passed. She briefly wondered if they were supposed to color the portraits. If they were then she was screwed – there was no way she’d be able to finish the drawing and color it by the time class had ended. Deciding her time was best spent drawing than panicking, she started detail work on – the one with the nick in its ear. Which one was that again? Oh right. – Maga-G. Jum-P – the sleeping one – would come next. Then Sun-D, the awake and uninjured one. Cham-P she would save for last, since he seemed to be the easiest one to draw. He was mostly just one color, after all.

It wasn't that Gundam didn't like to draw; sometimes on rainy days he would sketch a few figures. It was that he didn't like drawing in public. He just didn't like people seeing him doing something poorly. It would simply ruin his reputation. If he was going to be the ruler over this world, he would have to sharpen his skills later. He could imagine the comments of people who saw his drawing. No ones going to make a fool of me this time.

With new energy, Gundam erased the nose he had drawn and attempted another. Aha! It was much better than the first! Perhaps he could pull this off after all! He was almost finished; just needed to add a little more detail to her clothing and then he could color. But, looking at the clock, he wasn't sure if he would have enough time. He at least wanted to color the face.

Well, at least the girl was easy enough to draw. He felt sort of sorry for the girl; he tended to have an extravagant taste in clothing. But, what else would the next Descendant Ruler of Ice wear, right? He was worthy of such clothing, and he was happy with the aura he gave off.

Hungry Hamsters (gemofnovoselic)

To Gundam, Saturdays were days to relax. A time to forget about the things worrying him most. On Saturdays, you could usually find him in his dorm reading, or perhaps taking a walk or an afternoon nap.

Not today. No one could relax when the Dark Gods of Destruction needed food. Yes, they were cute. Yes, sometimes they were cuddly. But when they were hungry, you didn't want to be near them. So, this Saturday, Gundam decided he would put down his book and buy them some more food.

Gundam stood up, closing his book and placing it on the dresser. He glanced at Sonia. He didn't really want to leave her alone in the dorm, an also, it'd be nice to have someone to come with him. He hoped she wasn't too busy.

"Excuse me, Miss Sonia?" He began, straightening his coat, "Would you perhaps like to accompany me on an errand? It appears I have run out of the food the Gods like, and I was planning on venturing to the Pet Store a few streets down."

Sayaka smiled happily when she got the hamster’s name right. “Ah! She does?! I’m so glad…” Her face brightened up when she noticed the smile on Gundam’s face. She giggled then looked at the sleeping one. “Does Jump-P sleep a lot?” She asked curiously while still petting Sun-D. The hamsters were just too cute!

She shook her head again, unsure of her drawings being ‘fine’ but she liked to think her drawings were at least cute. She was really proud of the outline of his hair that she just drew. Even if it wasn’t perfect, maybe the more she added to it, the better it would get! She smiled when he mentioned it being good. “I’m glad you think so!” She still wasn’t sure what sort of expression she should make his face have, then again Sayaka was not focusing on one part of her Gundam drawing at a time.

She got another name right?! How did this girl do it?! Everyone else usually just ignored the names outright or called them horrible names. Gundam found himself respecting Sayaka more and more.

Nodding his head slightly, Gundam smiled. "Yes, Jum-P is a tired creature who needs his rest. I usually leave him be." He really had no explanation for why Jum-P slept all of the time.. he liked to think that he was just recharging his power for when he truly needed it.

"You are most welcome." He responded, and glanced down at his own drawing. Nearly complete. He just had to draw the girl's clothes, and then perhaps he would color it, too. It was turning out better than he expected.

Nothing he wasn’t used to, huh? Goodness gracious, this boy was near constantly treading the line between badass anti-hero and adorable sweetie, wasn’t he? Tanaka kind of reminded Kioku of those videos up on the internet, where a fully-grown lion would wrap its front legs around a person in a hug, or a big, intimidating-looking dog with a reputation for being vicious would play with a little baby and give it a lot of kisses. He’d certainly make for an interesting character in a film, she thought, and she had just the place for someone like him in her newest story idea.

Not that she’d do anything of the sort without his permission. And even the opportunity to do so was far off.

Kioku couldn’t help but let out a little laugh at the boy’s warning. “No worries, Tanaka-san. You’re doing fine.” She said, eyes still on his drawing and going over it piece by piece. And, all things considered, she was being completely honest – save for the complete lack of a nose, the portrait did a good job of capturing her, she thought, and she would more than likely say the same if he was drawing someone she could actually see. “I can’t wait to see your finished product,” The girl chuckled, glancing up at her partner again. “And I hope I can manage not to disappoint you or the Four Dark Gods of Destruction with mine.”

Gundam honestly didn't think he was doing that well, but if the girl said it was okay then he guessed it was okay. He wanted to get it done as soon as possible. Why did a student even need to take art in the first place? He probably wouldn't even need to know any of these things in 10 years. Stupid fucking art credit.

He hesitantly reached his pencil out to where the nose would be. Oh, God. How does one draw a nose? He hadn't even learned how to draw one yet. He uncertainly sketched what he hoped looked like one, and cringed. Nope, definitely not a nose.

When Kioku spoke, Gundam turned his gaze to her paper. Gundam had to admit that compared to her drawing, his looked like a clown. "Do not worry. It looks alright." More than alright.

Thank goodness. At least the boy wasn’t offended or, at least, didn’t seem to be. She supposed she could have always lied, but hey. Better to be honest about shortcomings rather than get caught in a lie you couldn’t keep up, right?

Kioku’s features tinted slightly pink when Gundam responded to her story. Admirable? Noble? Sure, there were good intentions and a fair bit of logic behind the action but this was far and above the nicest thing anyone had ever said about it. The boy from before had said it was clever reasoning and that was nice to hear too but this Tanaka kid was making it sound like she was fighting a battle and not just keeping people from pointing and staring and asking her to take it out. Nevertheless, she smiled and thanked the boy – once more to add to the many other times she had in their brief time as partners so far – for the compliment.

She regained the small amount of composure she lost as Gundam told his own story. She listened intently to the tale, exciting though brief, and let out a little laughing huff once he’d finished. “And you called me noble,” She said. “Yet here you sit with the physical proof that you’ve given your all for what you do. Must have been a hell of a beast to be able to mark you like that. But I’m not surprised you came out victorious.”

So that was the story behind the scar, huh? Well, she’d have to do it proper justice then, and that was what she did… after two or three failed attempts. Once that was completed, though, she looked over what she had and couldn’t exactly complain. She had a pretty complete picture so far: All the shapes in the right places. Face and hair done, clothes sketched out and hamsters placed. Sure, some details were missing, but she was still far from done. Pausing a minute, she let her curiosity get the better of her and glanced over to her partner’s paper to see how he was coming along.

Gundam couldn't help but smile triumphantly when he noticed the girl's pink face. He wasn't much of a people-pleaser himself, obviously, but it was still nice to know that he had made someone's day a tiny bit better. "You are most welcome." He replied, and with that, continued on his drawing.

Where would he go from there? He had finished the hair and the face (excluding the nose, lord knows how that'll turn out), so he supposed he would begin the clothing. Compared to the extravagantly dressed students who went to this school, Kioku's clothes were actually quite normal. What better partner could he have? Gundam hoped the clothes were simple enough for him to draw.

Gundam shook out of his thoughts when he heard the praise. "Nothing I am not used to. But thank you." Smiling from the compliment, he began to draw the girl's shirt. He stopped short when he felt her gaze on the paper. "I must warn you, I am not exactly an artist."

Sayaka smiled happily and reached down to stroke one of his hamsters. Her face lit up when the hamster didn’t refuse her petting them. “Your name is Sun-D right?” She giggled and smiled as she kept petting her. She whipped her head up and Gundam with a bright smile. “Does she like me?!” She couldn’t help but be curious.

"Eh? Nope! I bet they are much better than any of my serious drawings! I haven’t even attempted your face yet!" She giggled again, finishing up drawing his hamsters. Sayaka glanced up at Gundam again as she attempted his hair. This was a lot harder than she thought it would be. She thought she could quickly draw the hair and finish his clothes before working on hid face. "Er…" She put on a serious, determined face. She would make this look good! She would never want to insult anyone by doing a bad drawing of them. Sayaka leaned in close to her paper as she concentrated really hard on her drawing. Finally! She got a shape of his hairstyle that she was proud of. "Yes!!! How does this look Tanaka-kun?!" She smiled up at him, showing him the outline of his hair that she just drew.

Gundam grinned when Sayaka got his hamster's names right. She was one of the first people to remember their names. "Correct." He couldn't help but answer for the hamster, a smile still stuck on his face. "It appears she has taken a liking to you... consider yourself lucky."

Gundam glanced over to Sayaka's paper. "Do not worry. It's fine." His eyes trailed over to his own paper. He quickly resumed drawing, wanting to catch up to her. After he was done with her hair, he added the barrettes she always seemed to wear.

Hearing her voice, Gundam looked up at the drawing she was holding out, and smiled appreciatively. He knew it was hard for her to attempt his hairstyle. It was quite extravagant- befitting of someone like him, of course. "You did a fine job."

Sayaka smiled at each of the hamsters as he introduced them all. They were too cute! They even had little titles. This was really cute how serious Gundam was about his hamsters. “It’s very nice to meet you all!” She said smiling down at them. “May I pet them?” She asked, not knowing how they acted towards other people…or if he wanted others to touch them.

She nodded along with him and smiled. “I bet you’re really great at drawing animals!” She kept focusing on the scarf area and each hamster, making sure to get tiny details right. She smiled once she thought she did a decent job of drawing the first hamster. She wasn’t even finished with Gundam’s face yet, she was having too much fun drawing his hamsters. “Hm? Oh uh…I think you are? It might be optional though! I wanted to color my picture though!” She wasn’t a good listener in class sometimes. She was already being slow to draw right now. But, she wanted to make sure she did a decent job!

Gundam smiled, seeing the way Sayaka talked to his hamsters. He was glad that someone appreciated his hard work. "Go ahead." He replied, sitting back a little, "I suppose they would not mind. If they like you of course."

Gundam shook his head slightly. "It seems that even my drawings of animals aren't wonderful. They're decent, I suppose, but nothing near spectacular." With that, he took a quick peek at Sayaka's paper. She.. even drew my hamsters? Gundam thought, he couldn't help but smile. Having someone put that much effort into a drawing of him made him feel important. He himself was halfway done with his drawing; he just had to finish the hair and the clothes. "Then I will do the same."

“Thank you. I may have to take you up on that.”

Kioku’s attention lingered just a moment longer, the girl herself smiling as Gundam gave his hamster a little pet then realized his ‘mistake.’ It was adorable beyond measure and there was little Kioku wouldn’t have given at that moment to have caught all this on camera. The lighting wasn’t perfect but that didn’t matter much for home movies – school movies. The point of those wasn’t to create a masterpiece. It was to capture precious moments. Precious, cute as all hell moments.

“Hm?” The girl glanced up once she heard him speak, the question taking a second to register before she chuckled. Damn it, she was doing it again… actually, she did it all the time. This was just the second person to notice. Nevertheless, he seemed to be taking more care than the last curious party; he was kind enough to offer her a pass on the question. “It’s fine,” She said, making sure to pay attention to her tone and keep it light. She didn’t want him thinking he’d made her upset. “My left eye is fake, you see.” She explained, pausing her drawing for a moment to point to the offending eye with her pencil. “Because of that, it doesn’t move. So unless I’m looking directly forward – like I am now – it looks like both of my eyes are going in two different directions.” She grimaced a little as she continued, using the expression for emphasis. “That can be kind of jarring to look at, especially if you’re not expecting it.” She said. “So I do that for precaution’s sake.”

With that, Kioku finished up her explanation, quieting down and letting Gundam react, however he would. But, then, she chirped again. “All that said, might I ask about your own?” She said, gesturing towards the boy’s scar. “The same applies to you, of course – you don’t have to answer if it’s too personal.” She made sure to tack on that last bit. She didn’t need the boy thinking he owed her an answer just because she’d given her own. But she couldn’t help but think…

When she’d thought they’d end up bonding over their left eyes she’d intended for it to be a joke. She’d always heard that truth was stranger than fiction, though.

Gundam nodded and turned back to his drawing. "I understand." He was used to people not remembering their names. He himself even called them 'Cham-P' or 'Sun-D' when he didn't feel like yelling out their full titles. It got sort of tiring to say their full names all of the time.

Gundam blinked at the girl's hesitation. Had she not done it on purpose? He relaxed a bit when she started laughing. It would have been quite awkward if she didn't realize she was doing it. "I see." He responded, glancing up at the different eye. "It's quite admirable that you chose to find a way to keep people from noticing." That being said, Gundam picked up his pencil once more. "Fighting the difficulties instead of giving in. Noble, if you ask me."

He looked back up at Kioku, seeing the gesture. "Ah." He let out a sound of acknowledgement and ran his free finger over the scar. "It is alright, I choose to answer your inquiry." He smiled slightly dropping the pencil on his paper and crossing his arms. "You see, I have come across savage beasts in my years of breeding, some that take an immense amount of effort to tame." He pointed to his scar. "This was the result of a particularly feisty creature. But, in the end, I prevailed."

Goodness gracious everything about this boy was like insanely adorable. He looked downright vicious and that almost stopped her from asking to be his partner for the project but the gentle way he handled these little creatures, the pride he seemed to take in them… well, obviously there was more than a book than its cover. Maybe he was just a lot of talk at first – she could name a few people she knew like that. But when you got past the scarf and coat and otherwise uninviting demeanor Gundam really wasn’t that scary. She was almost embarrassed for getting so startled before.

Kioku quietly repeated the names as he said them, hoping that the action would help her remember what they were… at first. She wasn’t sure why she’d been hoping some of them had more normal names as he read them off. There was no way in hell she’d remember all of them so easily and she’d only thought to write them down after he’d listed off the third one. “Those are some… interesting names.” She said. Sure, she hadn’t exactly been expecting anything like ‘Fluffy’ or ‘Hammy,’ but this was a little much. “Very fitting for Dark Gods of Destruction.”

That much was true, anyway.

Returning to her lightly detailed mess of shapes she continued on his jawline. Now that the basic shape was down it was time to start the details. She worked on his eyes first, remembering a trick her aunt had taught her; draw like you’re applying makeup. Where would you line the eyes? Draw that. Where would you contour and highlight? Shade that. Kioku had done a bit of makeup for prep when filming so she had a basic idea of how that all worked. She’d have to really concentrate on his hair, though. She’d never worked at Dairy Queen.

"I thought the same." Gundam said, smiling a bit. He was glad someone didn't question their names. He personally thought they were befitting for beings such as them. "If you need them to be repeated, I would gladly oblige." Once saying that, Gundam smiled down at the hamsters on the table. He rarely got to get them out in class. He extended one finger towards them, petting Cham-P softly.

He jerked his finger back, remembering that there was another student next to him. Slightly red, he picked up his pencil and pretended to be concentrated on his work. He didn't like to show affection in public, especially in front of someone he had just met. Gundam cringed at the thought.

He had almost no experience in drawing humans, so he honestly didn't know where to go from there. Gundam decided he would draw the hair next. Compared to other people in the school, including himself, the girl's hair was quite normal. It was kind of a fresh breath talking to someone who wasn't crazy, or too peppy.

Gundam started with the bangs. While he drew, he asked, "If you do not mind me asking, why do you close your left eye when you look down?" Gundam was drawing by the ears at this point, trying to get the hair too look a little messy, "If it is too personal, you do not have to answer."
