[If people happen to be passing through Community Building 7, floor 5 today, they might want to watch where they're stepping. There was a young man passed out and face down in the middle of the hallway and he was garbed in new feather clothing.

---

Sometime later that day, into the afternoon, this "new feather" will have wandered from the building and making for the plaza to get something more suitable to wear than just new feather garbs. After that...he could go back to his place, but the night was still young. He still felt a little out of it, but he wasn't so tired that he wanted to go home and rest.

He may reconsider that later after stopping by the the Good Spirits Bar though. :|; ]

[ooc: Alexei has been de-aged to his 20s upon his return. He still has his memories though. Some responses will come from

Did I?

A challenge was a challenge and you did finished it. Just ah...not today.

[F-Fft, she wasn't actually expecting him to still accept those terms, really. She was just joking, but...well, it may be fun to play around like a little kid again. M-Maybe. Miyabi hadn't had many chances to just act silly and have fun and laugh with those she cared about for a long time. And perhaps, just a little, she could get to know Alexei for real this way.]

Hehe, of course. Are you headed anywhere, Mister Alexei? I can escort you some of the way, if you want. [She doesn't have much else to do, really.]

I've only made plans to stop here to get a change of clothes today.

I suppose I could go to another shop and re-supply on paper...

Pap--oh! Do you mind if I come along. I should really do the same myself, and maybe get a few new scrolls... [It's so easy to forget just how much paper and parchment a painter like her goes through just daily. By the end of the week, her supply has run thin. Thank goodness the stores restock automatically, lest she'd be in big trouble with her duties.]

Ah...No, I don't mind. You need paper for your Celestial Envoy duties, correct?

Oh, yes! I--

[...Wait.]

How...how did you know about that? [Did someone else tell him?]

Didn't you-...ah, no, I was informed by someone that you were.

Oh, all right... [It must have been Sanji or Nami, maybe even Vash. She wasn't exactly secretive about her goal, after all.] Uhm, shall we be going?

[Miyabi blinks, and as she had began turning toward the direction of the item store, she began to dig through her bag, produced her journal, and flipped through it. There had to be something in there...she was sure she'd painted in her journal at least once or twice.

After a few pages are flipped, she stops, and stares at something in the pages, brushing her finger over it tenderly. A second or two later, she smiles, then holds out her journal. Upon both pages, a painting (http://safebooru.org//images/353/8298ce3f52988796c4f85ad7ca0dc3a7978ab882.jpg?353381) is drawn.]

This is maybe the best painting I've made of Amaterasu...

[And it was when she left the first time.]

This is beautiful. How long have you been painting?

[Ah, that was nice. A zealous boasting of pride and praise certainly is appreciated when it comes to her art, but the quiet sense of awe and appreciation is what Miyabi truly feels. An envoy's paintings are supposed to instill strong feelings, and that...that reaction alone is all the praise she needs - just a smile. A knowing smile.]

Even since I could hold a brush, I think...maybe before that, with my hands. Painting isn't just something that we poncles do. It's our way of life.

Poncles?

Well, your skills and diligence clearly show in your work.

Oh, uhm...y-yes. I'm a poncle. We're forest sprites where I'm from. And I'm actually not this size normally... I just used a magical tool from my homeland to make myself bigger sometimes. [It makes shopping so much easier. She holds her thumb and forefinger about an inch apart for Alexei to see.]

I'm actually this big normally.

...You're just full of surprises. If you're normally that size, I'm more impress you can create such masterpieces.

[chhvkjkashf--blushing! All the way to the tips of her wings, which glow a very faint pink color.]

Ah...th-thank you very much. It's really nothing though, I promise. Issun can paint much better than I can!

Well I've only seen your paintings, so I can't exactly make a proper comparison. You should at least be proud with what you have achieved.

[Miyabi follows, and takes a quick glance at her painting again. She can't deny that she is proud, or that she improved. Doing that would just be stupid, and like she was fishing for compliments, which she really isn't. Besides, why hide the truth?]

...I guess I am proud. I'm still not where I want to be, but I was a lot worse when I first came to Luceti. I'm...I'm really happy that I got better. I really didn't think I could, at first.

If you want it enough and work hard for it, your efforts will pay off.

That's what I believe anyway.

[Miyabi giggles as she files through the various wares of the shop, plucking out new brushes, ink pots and stones, and of course - parchment.]

You sound a lot like Ishaku, the chief of my village and my old teacher. He used to say something about nothing can be achieved if you don't first try. Something...something about resolve. I can't remember what it was exactly.
