Rae had been down in the new lounge long before the opening began, she had helped with a few art pieces before the place was finished, and had been recruited to help set up the space. She now sat in a slightly less crowded corner of the room, her legs propped in a chair across the table from her, her head bent over a sketchbook. She switched between sipping her drink and having her hands make quick movements across the page as detailed profiles and portraits of those around her slowly emerged. She had taken her eyes off the page to look around when she was startled, “Oh! sorry, did you want this chair?” she offered, kicking it out with her feet before she retracted her legs back under the table, “Sorry, I know it got more crowded now, I was just using it as a rest earlier..”
