Beautiful was only one of the many adjetives that had been used of late when describing her art. Perhaps a little boost of self confidence in her mind, seeing as everyone was being so supportive of her. Now, She enjoyed showing her work off more then ever..just to hear any kind of critizism even the not so nice compliments. But either way, Art kept Kira's mind off of things, made her expand, and of course kept her out of trouble.

"Will you do a portrait for me?" Reanna asked a few days ago quite politely. Of course Kira could not refuse such an offer. To paint the beautiful girl was such a privlidge in her mind, it only made her excited to think about finally being able to sit down infront of one of her clan members, and capture them in their finest moment. Today was the day she was going to do it, no obstacles to stand in her way, beautiful weather, and perfect sunshine.

She gathered up a few things in a small little leather pack that she carried around with her often when she went out drawing. Her whole pack of colored pencils, Paints, Regular pencils, and a couple other drawing tools. She grabbed her easle tucking it under her arm, The leather pack around her shoulder as she was almost ready. All she needed to do was write a note. Taking a pencil in hand, she wrote neatly down where she was going.

"I'm going to the glen today to draw, Reanna, You should come join me! I haven't forgot about what I promised you. But if your to busy today..I understand.

Sincerely,
Kira"

She would of went upstairs to the third floor to deliver the letter, but she hated to make the trip up there only to find out she would be disturbing someone. So she never went higher then the second floor. Making her way down the steps she placed her letter on the table in an un-sealed pink envelope. Out the door she went, the fresh breeze hitting her the moment she stepped outside.

She could feel the grass tickling her toes as she made her way to the glen. It almost made her want to take off her sandles, and walk barefoot the whole way there. Her hands were to full though, so she refrained from it. The peaceful stroll there was enough to make the young girl beam with happiness.

She placed her easle down, letting it sit firmly in grass. Her leather pack was slung to the side of it as she stretched her arms out in a yawn. She looked at a poofy white bunny eating grass a little while away from her and smiled twitching her nose, much like the rabbit was doing. Unstrapping her sandles she swung them off with a small giggle, starting to twirl around in a circle, her sundress rising up with the twirl, before falling down again. Humming happily to herself, she still had that innocent childish quality about her as she danced around in her bare feet, somthing she would never do infront of others.

She'd returned to the Manor after quite an exhausting day with Ness. She was on her way up the stairs when she saw a pink envelope. Head canted to the side, she smiled. No one she knew favored pink as much as Kira and she took the envelope and opened it, quickly reading over her note. "Crap!." Reanna looked around quickly, noted the sun was still shining as bright as if it were high noon. She rubbed her eyes. What time had she sought Ness out? A shake of head at the passed time as she ran up the stairs for a quick wash up and a suitable outfit.

She'd decided to take Akasho with her, she was atop his back as they'd approached the Glen, she smiled seeing Kira so free spirited in herself. She leaned gently against the beast of the animal beneath her, relishing in the site of the young woman, seemingly so happy. She shook her head as she gently slid from Akasho's back, bare feet touching the cool grass of the Glen as she took quiet steps towards Kira. She tightened the cloak to cover her entire body, leaving nothing shown but the cloak itself. She did not want to embarass her, nor did she wish to alarm or frighten her, so she called out, as if searching for her. "Kira?"

She stopped her steps almost the instant she heard her name being called. She didn't turn around at first, Her face was pure red from embarressment. She would never have danced infront of someone so carefree, expecially seeing that She didn't know Reanna would be here so early. Her body stiff and ridged, she turned around to face her, the sun seeming to sparkle down on her blonde hair, making it brighter then it already was. A soft smile was given to Reanna clasping her hands infront of her momentarily, swaying from side to side, letting the breeze pass amongst them before another word was spoken.

"Oh Reanna..I didn't think..."

Her emerald gaze fell upon Akasho, her eyes wide. She had never come in close contact with the beast before, and never had felt the need to ask about him. A little gulp came to her throat, as she moved cautiously twords the easle, her hand slowley reaching for the leather pack on the side. She didn't have a stool to sit at but it was quite alright. She liked to paint a portrait when she was standing up. It made it easier to move her body freely when needed be, making the strokes easier to paint. She motioned to around the glen anywhere Reanna preferred to sit, and be comfortable was fine with her. She curled her toes in the grass, hoping the woman would not notice she had her sandles off.

She stepped from the bracketed trees, bare feet stepping carefully on the grass beneath her. Akasho at her side, a loving scritch to him as she watched Kira. She'd never tell her that she'd seen her dancing. She'd hope that she realized from the angle she'd come in that Rea had wanted to give off every impression that she'd not seen her as she smiled to her. "I am sorry, I did not mean to startle you. I needed some air, after that bout with Ness earlier and seeing your letter, I figured this was as best a time as any." She shifted from foot to foot. "Were we doing the near nude portrait out here? Or was this to be the clothed one?"

Rea moved around the easel, still holding the cloak tightly around her. She looked over the lay of the land. The rocks, the water and fall. She smiled. Kira could not have picked a more perfect place. This was by all means, calming and soothing. She'd only to hope that the pains and "headaches" would leave her in peace long enough for Kira to work her magic. Stormy silver eyes rested on the young woman, awaiting her answer with a nervous smile.

Akasho had settled about three feet from the women. Allowing them to do their womanly things, like a good cat, rolling onto his back, paws in the air. Much like a kitten.

She still eyed the giant beast. She loved animals, but somthing that was bigger then her gave her a little more then a fright. Watching it roll on it's back, with it's paws in the air, the small little smile came to her lips. It was a little comforting that he did not come near them.

She pulled out a few utensils from her leather pack. A few pencils, and erasers that she wanted to start out with, along with an outlining pen, for when she was done with the initial sketch. Her cheeks were Rosey red, but it was hard to tell if she was blushing, or it was because of the sun beaming down on her face. She had Pale and pastey skin, she burnt quite easily when out in the sun for minutes at a time. Motioning to wherever Reanna would feel comfortable She nodded her head.

"Oh..W-well your welcome to do any one you wish..no one will bother us out here..." She said sincerely as the glen seemed to be calm, and not many seemed to visit it during the day. She placed a cute little apron around her neck, tieing a bow in the back, so she'd waste no time when she moved to the paints. Or colored pencils, whichever she decided to use. Patiently standing there, her paper was taped down so the wind wouldn't catch a hold of it.

She nodded to her with a smile. She'd never ever had something of this magnitude done before, had never even thought of something so wild and filled with reckless abandoned. She blushed a little at Kira as she nodded. The cloak was removed and pooled like liquid emeralds at her feet. Beneath, she'd been wearing a lovely evening gown of deep sapphire blue, but as she canted her head to the side, she slowly slipped from that gown, standing there in the warm sunlight, feeling quite free and uninhibited as she crossed one arm over her breast shyly and the other over her womanhood. She looked over her shoulder towards Kira, swallowing hard. "I believe I would like to do the near nude portrait." With a devilish smile Rea moved around the glade to find a suitable location.

She set her eyes on a rock set near the waters edge, the falls in the background as she nodded to Kira. She crouched near her cloak and pulled out the scanty, sheer piece of material and wrapped it around her breasts and womanhood. They would still be able to be seen through the material, but it would not be as...brash. She nodded to Kira. Nerves fluttering as she fumbled and rearranged herself onto the rock carefully. She wanted to get the perfect position for Kira to work with.

After a few minutes of torture and pretzel turning. Rea finally settled on a half sitting, half laying position, her head back, hair brushing against the rock. Her breasts were arched upwards, as if a lover's caress fluttered over her. One leg stretched out to show the length of the leg, the other perched, her foot flat on the rock as she supported herself on her arms. The feel of the sun bathing down on her made her feel like the most exotic being in the moment as she smiled to herself. Trying very hard not to chew on her lower lip as she waited for Kira to work her magic.

It wasn't very hard for her to blush at what she had did for her to draw. But she was used to it. In her art class, many people would offer to pose for the young artists, whether it be fully clothed, or partially clothed or perhaps nothing at all. After all, Natural beauty was a lovely part of the artistic world, and some people wern't afraid to give their bodies to a portrait that they could keep in their bedroom.

Reanna would have to stay still in that pose for a while now. Though Kira created her usual drawings very quickly, and almost flawlessly, she tended to take the more serious portraits slow. That way, she would never miss a line, a little detail or crevass in her body.

Taking out a pencil, she started to do the outline of the pose she was in. Her head was first drawn out, and the outline of her hair falling back was put into place. Her slender body was outline, along with her leg perched, and then her one leg out. She finally finished the outline taking out another pencil She began the detailing of the sketch.

The sun was getting warmer in the day, as they had been sitting there for a couple of hours now. Kira was coloring the parts of the things that covered her privates. She had let Reanna move finally as the coloring part was easier, she did not need to stay completely still for that. Though the shadows being put into place would of helped.

Another hour or two had passed at it was almost sunset in the glenn. But she had finished the picture, the background, and every little detail that possibly was in her view and could fit on the canvas. Dipping a pen into an ink jar, she signed her name in cursive letters, then let her legs collapse themselves as she fell to the ground softly. After a while of standing there her legs were stiff, so she needed a rest. Closing her eyes for a moment, she awaited Reanna to come around and see her picture.

It was very challenging for Rea to sit still that long, but she'd wanted the portrait to be absolutely perfect. She knew that Kira would be flawless in her work, but she was worried that perhaps she'd moved at the wrong time and set the image off.

Finally able to move, Rea stretched out fully and sighed deeply. The warmth of the sun. The glow of the setting sun. It was all so...so very tranquil for her. For the time that Kira and Rea were in the Glen, it seemed that time had stood still.

She bent over and plucked up her cloak, swirling it around her near naked form and walked over to where Kira was for observation of the final work and her breath caught in her throat. Stormy green eyes walked over the portrait, every inch of it, every detail. She was wrought speechless as she looked at the flawless portrait of herself. The shadows were perfect. The sheer covering she'd chosen for the portrait looked perfect. It had left enough to be seen, yet enough to be thought over.

She had a fleeting thought that perhaps it was to wanton a gift for him. But as she canted her head to the side and turned to Kira, she offered her a very warm smile as she spoke. "It is extravagant Kira. Absolutely perfect. You're work is, impeccable and flawless. Do you think he'll like it?" Her gaze had moved back to the portrait, amazed at how...well how beautiful she really was.

"Do I think..who will like it?" She asked that question wondering who she might give her work up to, wondering what hands would end up with her picture. After much thought the one person that came to her mind was her brother. She blushed deeply just thinking about Dameon Looking at Rea like that..trying to quickly shake the thought out of her head.

"Y-Y..I hope so." She nodded her head hoping her brother would like her work. She tiptoed in the grass moving over to her kicked off sandles, trying to hide her bare feet before slipping them back on. Waiting for the paint to dry, she grabbed a frame from behind the easle slipping the painting inside, the frame covering up her name. Handing it to Rea she smiled warmly gathering her stuff up. Kira was all sunburnt. Spending so much time in the sun always did that to her. Motioning to Rea, she let her know she was heading back to the manor.
