[Game] Lord Windos' PokeRole Adventure: Celadon City Vandel

(...) She went quiet after recounting her own Artist Origin Story ®, a happy yet.....melancholy smile as she cast her thoughts all those years back. It (the smile) looked rather worn and bittersweet for such a little miss like her to have, but it was hers. Her expression changed to one of faint curiosity as you explained the deviations between Kyubi and Alolan Ninetales, before she nodded her head at your request and went over to retrieve that sketchbook of yours. Emily then casually (yet carefully) released her Porygon on the bed, who briefly startled at the unfamiliar surrounding it was summoned in until its master calmed them down. They got a good look at you and the lucky dragon (who was doing her own discrete analysis of the digiduck, just in case), and tilted their head and made a warbling sound. Looks like they didn't know quite what to make of you or your dragon yet, so the first impression is still yours to make!

Mina's expression only lighted up even more and her spirits got lifted a bit higher upon seeing how smol Emily was so eager to agree to her on the matter of chasing one's dreams. "That's tha right attitude!~ Reality is hard and dry enough, it's our job as artists to bring a lil' light into it an' make people dream faaar away, even if only for short!" ....before it grew more serious and her voice neatly reflected this. "Hehe, ehm... Well, that's just what I think tho, some artists follow a complete different path. Meh, but to each thar own, I guess."

She also calmy and silenty curiously listened up as when Emily herself started to talk on her own and shared the story of her yet young career, having a pondering axpression and body language the whole time. When...Emily went over to retrive mentioned sketchbook and therefor was not paying attention to Mina primarily, Mina placed her hand on the top of her head and started to impercibly shiver, and a wave of upcoming panic washed over her in complete silence...

Emily owns a Smeargle.
Guess who else is known to own and battle with a Smeargle?
Right, the only Trial Captain of Melemele Island.
How the hell is she supposed to step in front of him again with all that white hair and faint hail surrounding her??!! Aaaaaaaarrrrgghhhhhhh! D:

'....Ew, better worry about later, I bet he won't just quit friendship? with you, Master', her purple LuckyDragon seemed to say as she raised her head and licked over Mina's cheek before giving her a 'Stay Positive' look in a tilted head - which caused Mina to force herself to calm down and put these worries aside for now. After all, there is no need to cause Emily to worry unnecessarily!

So when she handed the sketchbook over and released her Porygon ont the bed, Mina took efforts to not let anything of that show, and instead gave Emily a small smile. "Hehe... Smeargle is a good Pokemon, and a popular Pokemon among enthusiasts... Eh, nope, I don't own one by myself though. Now then, you asked how I make art, didn't you..." Once she has spoken that out, Mina began to guide a pencil over a free page of the sketchbook in sometimes fast and sometimes very slow movements, occassionally throwing glances over to Porygon before continuing, looking somewhat half-concentrated and half dreamy during it. If Emily wanted to see what she does there, Mina would let her but she wouldn't answer to any questions. Several minutes later she held the sketchbook a little more far from her by stretching out her arms, before nodding faintly, the ripping the page out and handing it to Emily, subliminally hoping to ease that bittersweetness and melancholy that was over the smol artist. Yes, Mina has noticed this.

The page showed...

(Not mine, credit goes to the original person who drew this)

"Here. Take a look at this... Well, eh, to make art, I just draw. I just bring to paper what I see. Observe things and your surroundings well, and yer eventually become better... Keep an eye open to aaaall the details when yar walking around."..."Oh, and you can keep this sketch if you like." ^_^

Once Emily reacted to this short display of making art, "Now then, I answered your questions and stuff, dear Emily... Now I guess it's my turn to ask somethiiiiing!~ Do tell me, why d'ya taking this letter around for a walk?" *carefully pointing to that latter that still in Emily's hand - or wherever it currently was*
