Rome, Italy. An artist's paradise. Great.
If only it wasnt raining.
Its not really that often that Fala's in such a foul mood. But she was currently stuck in a cafe in town because she forgot to bring an umbrella. Sure it was cloudy when she left the hotel but whoever thought it would rain by night? She aint the weatherman. That and she was hungry. It didnt matter whether she's in a cafe or not, there's nothing to eat that you can decently call "dinner" in the place. Coffee for dinner? Yeah right, who ever heard of that. It's not that she hates rain, she loves it actually, but she was only wearing a tan sweatshirt and skinny jeans. She was awfully cold.
The seventeen year old female sat by the glass-wall of the cafe, looking out the street outside watching people come and go. Somehow, despite the cold, the scene outside was nice. Some might think it's weird, but she liked the way rain fell into puddle of water on the side walk. Its kind of.. pretty to her. Fala twirled the pencil around her fingers twice, thrice, before moving her gaze away from the scene outside and to the sketch pad in front of her. She was glad at least that she brought a pencil and a sketch pad with her. The page in front of her wasnt entirely empty nor blank. On the lower right corner of her page was a decent sketch of a rain puddle, with droplets falling by the side walk. It's quite something to look at. To catch the moment of raindrops joining a puddle by the ground. But then again, someone who doesnt have the passion Fala had for art might not share the same sentiments.
Fala placed her pencil down on the table before her and leaned back on her chair, running her dainty fingers through the curls of her chocolate-colored hair. She needed to remind herself occasionally that she wasnt here for a vacation-- as much as she would love for that to be the case. But it was kind of... near to the purpose why she's so far from home and in Rome. Maybe it's something you would like to call charity. To help the homeless shelter thing and all. The thought of it made her chuckle a bit. She still had no idea how she could help, and her mind was already playing with her doing labor work. Absently, she ran her hand up her slender arm. Labor work and her doesnt quite go well together. Her looking so fragile isnt actually the thing that worries her, it was her unfortunate ability of being clumsy no matter where she goes. With her luck, she just might bring disaster with her instead of help.
She lowered her hands on the table again and this time, leaned forward on the table, propping one elbow up on the table to support her head as her other hand reached over to the chocolate shake she had ordered less an hour earlier. She twirled the straw around for a moment before bringing it to her lips, sipping the last of its contents before putting it away. She had a moment to glance at her wrist watch to check the time, only to see that it stopped again. Fala sighed-- for the umpteenth time that day, and tapped uselessly against the glass cover of her watch, as if trying to make it work.. unsuccessfully. She pursed her lips in annoyance and looked about the cafe for a clock. She found one, thankfully, just behind the counter.
"7:15.. I need to get going.
Yes, she definitely had to get going but it was still raining outside. Her hand found its way into her pocket where she idly played with the keys to her hotel room. Perhaps it wouldnt be too wet if she walked by the sidewalk, would it? She stood quickly, fearing her resolve to walk through the rain would fade just as quick when she made her decision to leave. She offered a small, quick smile that made her emerald eyes sparkle dimly to the male that opened the door for her, leaving him quite stunned as she left the cafe. The thought made her giggle.
The rain was more of a drizzle by the time she was outside, and for this she was thankful. She puffed her cheeks a bit and crossed her arms tightly over her chest, hiding her hands under her arms as she walked through the cold. She could only hope her sense of direction wont fail her now as she tried to find her way back to her hotel. Should things get worse, she can ask for directions right?
"Right."
Now, if my beloved readers would notice, Fala doesnt have anything in her hands as she walked away from the cafe. It would be somewhat.. surprising for an artist to forget her things. But it applied to the current situation. Fala hadnt realized that in her hurry to leave the cafe, her sketch pad-- along with her pencil was left on the table on where she previously sat. But that's how distracted Fala can be. Perhaps in a few hours, or maybe in the morning, she'll realize this. But its nothing really big for her to lose if ever. The sketch was only newly bought-- so not much would be lost from her. Just the money she used for buying the said pad.
Despite all the flaws she carried with herself, she did have the talent-- when it comes to art. Admittedly, she's not too talented when it comes to painting, but sketching is what she does best. Literature only comes second. She could also play the violin, though through the years that had passed, it could be possible that she may or may not remember how to play that well anymore. Though she may not look it, she is a decent artist, once you look past all her faults.
Fala Linneth Valentine. Rome's visiting artist.
It was what she wrote on the last page of her newly bought, currently forgotten, sketch pad.
