[ leilani, ashamed of her childish curiosity, hid her hands under the long sleeves of her blouse. despite the risk of ruining the expensive picture, just by a quick glance it was obvious that volta didn’t seem to care much. still, the apprentice felt the need to explain her brash behavior anyway. ]“ i usually wouldn’t snoop around nor touch estimeed paintings, for that matter. ” [purple irises were locked on the painted dining scene, as if trying to see a secret meaning behind it. ]
“ this one has just— an alluring aura to it. i cannot quite put my finger on why, though…what are your thoughts on it if i may ask, procurator ? ”
𝐒𝐌𝐀𝐋𝐋 as she may be, she was still observant despite the lack of SIGHT upon her right eye. The amount of time lowering her head to nibble upon whatever snack that was within her little HANDS would always grant more senses to her ears and eyes. The purpose of her mouth always seemed to be FEASTING , not SPEAKING . The procurator approached Leilani with happy steps, eye glancing at the painting in question.
❝ Looks just like any painting to me, I fancy embroidery on tapestries. I can’t really tell what to make of this. ❞ shrugging a fabric-covered shoulder, her gaze returned to the apprentice. She tilted her head, fingers intertwining together, as if begging. ❝ Now, since you’re here, can you do me a favour ? Oh, please, please ? I need to grab the cookie jar in one of the shelves in the kitchen and you’re the only one around ! ❞
