He nodded approvingly, watching her as she painted. ''Your painting...It is too hurried. It is good, but would be better with time. But no matter. I see you are eager to learn and please. You are new to this, so I will not be harsh on you. As time passes though Sayeh, I will be more forceful.'' Cassius murmured to the feline, before taking the painting and gliding into a different room, on the right of the main chamber where they stood. He pinned it to a rack carefully before drifting out. ''This time...I would like you to draw a sunset. Take your time. Strengthen your lines, be gentler with your strokes.'' The naga drifted back through the beaded doorway, back to his painting. He still kept a crimson eye on the feline who was so eager to please.

Sayeh's ears folded back as he said it was too hurried. She however didn't seem sad. When he mentioned about being more forceful with her, the dancer nodded to Cassuis, a warm smile on her lips. She took in his words carefully. 'Take your time.' 'Strengthen your lines' 'More gentle with strokes' ran in her mind. When he left her once more, Sayeh rose to take another canvas for herself. She set it down.
This time, Sayeh did not go to Cassius' doorway as she thought to herself how to begin. She took the brush confidently between her thumb and two fingers. Eyes closing, she pictured the last true sunset she had seen. When she came to look back on the face, she remembered how he wanted her to paint with emotion. And so she tried. Almost an hour went by, with her sitting in silence, painting away. Finally, she set the brush down to clean and there on the canvas was her Indian sunset. However, being unskilled in techniques, some of the colors leaked into others, and her view was skewed lightly.
She rose from her position and came to approach the doorway where Cassius worked. "I have finished. May it come to meet your eyes?" was all her voice echoed softly as if to try and not disturb him greatly.

Twinges of anxiety ran through him as he painted his own picture, until an hour had passed and he finished it. As he heard he feline approach the door and talk softly, he turned round and glided towards her to see the product of her effort.
Noticing the colors and the view, he examined it carefully. ''Another very good attempt. Unfortunately, the colors...'' The naga murmured softly, before nodding and turning to look at Sayeh. ''But, it is a wonderful picture. I will take it to dry now.'' He unclipped the picture, and put it with the Indian sun. ''Shall we take a break from our painting Sayeh?'' His crimson hues flickered nervously to the room in which his latest painting stood, but he turned back to face her ''I myself a rather hungry. Shall we go down to the kitchen and bring up something to eat? Or would you like to see the rest of the house after eating?''

Sayeh seemed to be shocked then smiled brightly. She did it partially right and thats all that mattered to her! She had done as he had asked. Hearing his question, her eyes dulled and her red lips frowned. "Acutally, Cassius," Her head bowed, long blue lockes falling around her as she bowed so deeply to him. "I'm flattered for the offer, but I must be heading home now. When things at home are finished, though, and I return, with your permission of course," Her violet eyes peekd up at him curiously through her blue hair. "Maybe, then I could accompany you through a tour and possibly have something to eat?" She enjoyed food but she had already spent so much time from home and had responsibilities to take care of.
(( xd Actually she just wants to make Cassius something xd ))

''You may visit any time you deem necessary.'' he bowed to her, before standing up, locking his crimson eyes with the feline's violet ones. ''Would you like me to walk you there, or anything?'' The naga felt that since she had showed him kindness, he should at least try to be a gentleman in return. ''But wait...'' he quickly went to the room where his supplies were, and took the now dry moon painting. He handed it to Sayeh. ‘‘Here. You wanted to see one of my paintings, there it is.'' Cassius bowed his head, mixed up feelings floating around inside of him. ''Come. If you wish to leave, the door is this way.'' He led her out of his room, down the stairs, and to the oak door that was the entrance to the Tower of Dreams. Opening it, he turned and warned her. ''Be careful. The mist makes it hard to see things, so you could fall and harm yourself.'' [[Bless! I hope she likes the painting. That's his most prized one.]]

((*In Real Life squeed at the preetyness* XD If you dont mind I'm gonna do a time lapse and just say so much time passes between this and when she comes back. is that okay?))
Sayeh smiled brightly at him giving her permission. She blinked when he asked if she would like him to walk her home. "That isn't necessary for someone like me but thank you Cassius." She smiled brightly.
Those eyes blinked as she watched him leave for a moment then hand over a painting. She gasped at the lovely work. "Cassius.." her voice was a whisper as her surprise took her voice. "Its.. so beauitul.." She almost didn't hear him but looked up when he led her out of his room and down the stairway to the door. She looked up at him with wide eyes. "You.. won't burn this one... will you?" she asked curiously, holding his picture as if it were a holy document. She nodded to his warning of the mist.
It took her a few minutes to be able to break free from the shock. Such pictures could always leave Sayeh breathless. She smiled brightly. "I have those who I live with who would come in search should something happen. Thank you so much Cassius." She bowed to him deeply. If she had any sort of boldness in social settings she might have given him a hug out of joy. However, she respected him far to much. "I promise to return as soon as I can."

[[That's just peachy-fine-dandy! Heh. ^^ Glad you like it!]]
''I promise...I will not burn it. It is no longer mine. You can decide what to do with it. it is a gift.'' The naga looked out at the mist again. ''If you do happen to get lost...Simply call. Anything you like. I, or any of the Anthros here will come at once to help you.'' He leaned against the door-frame, flicking his tail while watching her. ''I am glad you find it so pleasing. I must say, it is one of my best works yet.'' A smile passed the naga's lips, but was gone again in the blink of an eye. ''Farewell Sayeh; I hope to see you again soon.'' He murmured, just as loud as she could hear him.

Hearing she could keep it, a purr came from within her chest and she smiled brightly. "Thank you! I will be back and that is a promise!" She then jogged out into the mist and hurried home. She wanted to hang the picture up in her room. Without second glance, Sayeh was gone into the mist.
(( xd <3 THANKIES *gonna start the next post as 2 weeks after her first visit, with no sight of sayeh anywhere*))

[[Ok! 'm updating my first post on the Front Page. ^^]]
Cassius stood there for a moment, watching as the feline left the tower, and disappeared into the mist. ''Promises...shouldn't be trusted.'' he growled, before shutting the door and wandering back up the mahogany stairs to hsi boudoir. Still hearing the music, he lay down on the gothic fourposter and closed his eyes, imagining he paintings that he could paint to go with this music. ''Broken Hearts...Black tears...'' He murmured, before standing up to lock his door. The naga glided to his en-suite bathroom and quickly ran some water ito the basin, and splashed it onto hsi face. He gripped his hair, tugging a silver bakced brush with it. Droping t he brush, he lay back donw, and quickly fell asleep.

Two weeks Sayeh had bene gone. No one had seen the feline since she had left the Tower of Dreams besides one of her housemates and that didn't end well. Now, with a rather unhappy look on her face, the blue-haired dancer made her way back through.
The mist had misled her quite afew times but surely there she stood infront of the oak door again. In her hand was a large parcel, wrapped in red silk of middle eastern flair. It had been tied together by a golden rope. Her hands were ragged in appearance and she looked as though she had not known sleep for the time she had been gone.
However, here she stood. Slowly, she knocked on the door. Would anyone hear her?

Cassius looked to the door, slowly standing upwards to cautiously approach the door. He opened it a little, and although one could not see from outside, he was smiling slightly. He opened the door wider and bowed. ''Welcome again Lady Sayeh.'' Ichigo had been teaching him to be more of a gentleman over the two week period, and he had been painting a little in his spare time, and reading. ''How are you since I have last seen you?'' He asked quietly, unsure of what to say now.
The naga blinked his scarlet hues at the feline's ruined hands, and weary expression. A little concerned, he took her hand gently, pulling her through to a living room which was tastefully decorated with a sort of Japanese theme. He sat her down on a low wooden chair, leaving then appearing a moment later with a bowl of water in. Placing it in front of her, Cassius carefully took the package from her, as it seemed so important. ''Here...it has some oils that will relax and help your hands.'' He gently put her hands in the bowl of warm water, and watched her as he gently rubbed some of the water on her fingers, trying not to hurt her too much.

Normally Sayeh would have smiled brightly to him especially after receiving such a nice welcome and would have returned with words of warmth. Today, from her exhaustion she merely just bowed her head to him politely. She moved like a doll to his whim, letting him move her as he pleased.
When she sat down, he could hear a sigh escape from her. She was grateful for having a place to sit. Her violet eyes looked dull as she only watched him take the package away from her, and move her hands into the water, his fingers moving over hers. The tips especially were tough and ached her. Finally, however, she smiled to him. "I'm sorry for the trouble, Cassius, but would it be okay if you called me merely Sayeh?" After all she had gone through at her home, it was all she could muster to say at first.
Finding the strength from within, she then smiled warmly, slowly her more lively nature coming forth. "Please, don't worry so much for me as I kept my promise to you. If I might ask, however, if you would please open your gift?" She was sort of dreading it and then anxious.

''Yes.'' Was his answer to both questions, and he picked up the gift carefully. ''What...is it?'' He looked up at her, his eyes looking icy and blank, inside his heart beating fast with concern and...Happiness. The naga's pale, slender fingers pulled at the rope, and he watched anxiously as he shook out the present to look at it properly. A cloak...it was beautiful. He gasped softly as he noted all the details about it, before stroking it softly.
''It is...magnificent. Much more than I deserve.'' Cassius bowed his head, folding it gently and carefully, before turning to Sayeh and kissing her cheek gently. ''Thank-you.'' He whispered, before hurrying to his room to put the cloak there. He would wear it whenever he could, particularly going to the shop. He would show everyone how kind and clever Sayeh was. Smiling, he hung it on the outside of his wardrobe, wondering what else he could give to Sayeh. ''I'll paint...whatever she wants me too. Her favourite things...''
The naga locked his door and glided softly down the stairs to the kitchen. He heated some milk and some warm soup before carrying it into Sayeh. ‘’Here…Sam always makes the Anthros here this when they’re down.’’ He placed the things on the floor, kneeling down, and gently pulled the feline’s hands from the water, drying them on a towel that he had brought from the kitchen as well.

Sayeh seemed completely revitalized when he seemed happy with it. Her violet eyes lit up as they grew wide. It was okay then? He didn't notice the imperfection. When her cheek was kissed, a blush filled along her face. "Its to your liking then?" Tears of joy were welding up in her eyes. "Even though its not perfect? It will do?"
By the time Cassius had gone upstairs with it, went to the kitchen and came back and was drying her hands, already little rivers flowed down her face as she smiled. "I'm.. so happy its good enough for you, Cassius." Even though she had been hit in teh process and worked on it much longer then it should have taken, it was all worth it to make him happy. "Thank you.." her brightened smile was revealed. "You've always been so nice to me."

''What do you mean? I think it's magnificent. Why would it not be perfect?'' He was perplexed now, but he lifted up the bowl of soup to her, and handed her a spoon. ''You are the one who was so kind to me. I am glad of your company.'' The naga flicked his tail back and forth as he watched the feline intently. ''Is there anything...I can do to help you?'' He asked quietly, wondering how he could pay her back for the lovely cloak. He knew it was a gift, but he didn't feel it was right, accepting presents like this. He had to do something for her. The moon painting wasn't enough. ''Do you like music Sayeh?''
