draw, sender draws receiver like one of their french òdlan girls.
a leaflet of bernadetta's doodling slips out of her book—and as the breeze would have it, as she leaps and paws desperately at the air, the penciled portrait of yunaka flutters right atop its subject's foot before bernadetta can snatch it. she topples onto her hands and knees just a few inches away. slowly, ever so slowly, bernadetta's neck cranes back with giant eyes, until she regrettably sees...
"professor!" she squeaks, and really all but shrieks. should she. should she just. grab it? off of yunaka's foot? wobbling like a newborn foal, she tells on herself (as usual) before much else.
"i didn't do it! i wasn't drawing you! i-i totally don't draw people or places or things, i don't, that's weird! because i've never picked up a pencil in my life! i mean i've sort of picked one up for tests and homework and stuff but definitely not for drawing with my stupid overactive imagination and that's actually not you on this paper at all that's another pretty lady but not that i'd know since i didn't do this and bernie's just gonna—" also she rolled a 17 so pretend this shit looks like the yunaka lisa.

Something lands on her foot. Before Yunaka even has a chance to look at it, Bernie comes tumbling after it, rambling faster than she even has time to process. The professor blinks at the student slowly before leaning down to pick up the paper.
It's...a drawing. Of her? Of Yunaka? Her heartbeat stumbles for a moment, filling with familiar dread; when did she do this? How long had she been watching her? What had she seen Yunaka doing? Then, slowly, the moment passes. Right. Okay.
Her eyes move slowly then over to Bernie. She doesn't need to be a liar to tell that Bernie is lying. Really badly. There's a desperation behind her words though that feels...familiar. Another stumble in the heartbeat, another moment of dread.
Yunaka smiles.
"In that case, could you tell me who the person is that made it?" She brings her eyes back to the paper. "Cause they did an amazing job. Seriously, this is really good! You could use this for a wanted poster, and they'd catch the person immediately with how detailed it is."
Not that Yunaka knew anything about that.
Still smiling, she holds the paper out to Bernie for her to take back. "Here, since you seem to know who the artist is, you should take it back to them. They're probably upset about losing a piece that good. Oh, and could you tell them I like it? I'd tell them myself, but I don't want to scare them if they don't wanna be found out."
