Habushu was just sitting in the hallway after classes, minding his own business and reading, like always. He was by himself today, and he didn’t like it, so he was distracting himself with a new book of art. His tail twitched consistently, a show of his uncertain mental state in regards to being on his own. He flipped pages quickly, staring at the beautiful art catalogued inside. Art was the most wonderful thing created. He frequently flip flopped back and forth between wanting to be an artist and wanting to be a writer. Either of those job opportunities excited him greatly.

Classes were finally over and Jacie had nothing better to do. There was no way he was going do his homework... at least not yet! So he had to find something better to do; something more fun. He had fallen out of touch with his friend but that was something that he had gotten used to... someone getting close then leaving. As he walked the hallways, he spotted another grimm sitting and looking at a book. Curiously, he moved to him to see what he was reading. "...What is that?" He asked, trying to peak at what he was looking at. Nashawryn artist....writer... clearly they should make comics together haha... Jacie makes comics.

Habushu blinked, startled from his pages by a voice near his ear. “Oh! Umm, it’s art. Mostly modern, but there are some really nice looking older pieces.” He wasn’t sure what else to say, to his thinking art had to be experienced individually. The feelings a single painting evoked in one person’s heart might not appear in another’s. He turned the book so that the grimm could see better, tail flicking nervously. “Want to look at them with me? My name is Habushu, by the way.” He really didn’t have any friends, so his anxiety flared a little with the offering. Hobo Pixi Sorry it took so long to respond! (Wc: 101)

Jacie raised a brow, looking at what the other was looking at. He moved to sit next to him. "Sure... but why are you looking at a book of art... if you could just.. you know.." He scratched the back of his head. Sometimes, it was hard being nice... but this kid didn't seem like the kind that would duke it out with him.. Maybe he'd join his pack if he was nice! He pointed to one of the art pieces, "What I am saying is.. wouldn't you rather create your own art?" He looked at the other, "These are really nice and all... but I think creating the art itself is more fun." He explained. "I also like writing... so on my spare time, I write comics." He added, realizing he didn't introduce himself. "Oh! I'm Jacie... nice to meet you Habu.. Habi.. Can.. I call you Shu? Or Habu?" He asked, struggling to actually pronounce his name. Nashawryn No worries! Life happens!

Habushu tilted his head to the side, ears flicking back and forth as he contemplated what Jacie had said about making his own art. He tapped his claws on the cover of his book before answering. “I’ve never really had an opportunity to. I’ve done sketches, but that’s as far as it ever seems to go. I write a lot, too. I’ve never done comics though. I think words can really express how we feel, just as much as the art in this book can. Oh and you can call me Shu if you want.” This kid seemed interesting to Habushu. He wondered how he’d never managed to meet them yet. Sure there were a lot of students in the academy, but it’s not like they didn’t all have the same classes. Things were funny like that. He didn’t really have anyone to talk to about art and now randomly someone who knew art showed up. (Wc: 156)

Jacie noticed the other's tails... noting that they weren't... very grim like. "Okay, Shu." He mumbled to himself so he could try and remember that. "That's why I like comics... it has art and words in it. I love letting my imagination roam and do what it wants." He explained, turning a bit to get a better look at him. "So, you like to write too?... And what do you mean you don't have chances to try creating your own art?" He asked, moving to stand up and offer his paw. "Come on, I can show you my art stuff in my room. I wanna see what you can do." He told him with a grin. Yes, this was going well... surely the other would want to join his pack! Jacie was actually a bit excited to possibly create some art with the other. He hoped he would go with.. his temper would be way harder to fend off otherwise. "I live in the dorms so it isn't fair, don't worry." He tried to reassure.

Shu hesitated for only a moment before nodding his head at Jacie. “Sure but I can’t stay long. I have to work on homework with my parents soon. They want me to ‘be productive instead of idle.’ That’s why I don’t get to practice my art much. Homework and chores come first. Plus they don’t buy me many art supplies. I have some oil chalks, and some charcoal. But no colored pencils or paint.” Shu shrugs as he says this, as there’s nothing he can do to change it right now. He stands up to follow Jacie to his dorm room. (Wc: 101)

Jacie was pleased that Shu accepted his offer. He moved to get up, his tails swifting back and forth. "Awesome." He grinned, leading the other towards his room. He did look over to him though, curious why his family was so strict. "Isn't art productive? I remember reading somewhere that having a creative outlet can help the mind grow." He read that somewhere, right? Maybe Kinley told him that. No matter, it still was relevant. If the other didn't want to talk about it, that was fine. As they reached his room, he smiled again. "This is my room. I share it with my pack." He explained as he moved to his painting easel. Carefully, he taped on a new piece of paper and got out his paints. "Here, you can paint on this side!" He enthused, setting up a paper and paint on the other side. "I'm sorry you don't get a chance to enjoy art personally." He told him, seeing if painting was something he wanted to do.

Shu shook his head at Jacie and answered his question, “I think it is, but my parents... not so much right now. They want me to wait till I’m older, because they don’t want me to go full on art and then discover I don’t like art anymore, wasting my time and also money on supplies.” He followed Jacie to his room in the dorms, eyes widening in excitement at all the things in there. The first thing that caught and held his eyes were all the art supplies that Jacie had in there, the easel drawing his eye over and over as paints were set out and a new paper taped up. He quickly grabbed a brush and started painting, grey for the background, then some blue and brown, some red and peach and light grey. A bit of yellow for the stars, and then a thin brush with black on it to line everything. The entire time he worked his tongue was sticking out of his mouth, an expression of concentration for him. Finally, after what felt like an hour and a half or more of painting he set the brushes in the water to clean and turned to Jacie, proudly stating “All done!” Hobo Pixi His painting is in the spoiler (Wc: 206)

Jacie looked at him with disbelief, how could shu's parents decline art over time and money!? Jacie's grandma always encouraged trying new things. "I don't think it's wasted time... Or money.. it's the experience that counts." He is told him, happy to see he was enjoying painting. Maybe he'd send him home with supplies... He could always steal more from the art room later. Taking his time, Jacie worked on a scene from his comic that he was writing. There was a Grimm with a pack who looked like he was having a show down so some litch boys. He looked up as Shu said he was done, moving to look at it. "Oh nice! That's really good!" He told him with a wode toothy grin, "are you sure you haven't painted all your life." He chuckled.

Shu blushed a bit at the compliment, certain that Jacie was over exaggerating a bit about his artistic talent. His fur fluffed out, and his ears started twitching, though this time not from nerves. If you listened closely, you’d hear a soft grumbly purr coming from him. Shu looked his painting over, then carefully took it down from the easel and started putting the supplies back where Jacie had grabbed them from. “I know, but that’s what they think of it. So I’m stuck doodling when I get a few moments to myself.” He smiled shyly at Jacie. “Hey, tell me a bit about your pack? You mentioned you share your room with them?” He was curious about this, as he was most often on his own. “I don’t see my brother at all, just my parents. What’s it like being around other freshlings all the time?” He didn’t spend any time with his brother at all. Shu mostly kept to himself while Bailey did... whatever Bailey did. To be honest he wasn’t even sure of what his brother liked to do most. He thought it was baking but he could be wrong about that. He didn't want to make any assumptions. (Wc: 202)

Jacie smiling to the other, listening to him again mention that he wasn't able to be artistic at home. He moved to his desk, taking out a ziplock bag and starting to add color pencils to it. He then grabbed one of his plastic cases that had water color paint in it and one of his spare sketch books. With a smile, he turned to Shu and handed them to him, "Here, your parents don't have to buy anything..." He told him. Rubbing his neck with a sheepish grin at the mention of his pack, Jacie considered how to explain. "Well, my friend Kinley used to live in here till he was adopted by Ava. He still has some stuff here so we hang out here sometimes. So I guess realistically, only one of my packmates lived here. The other packmate.. isn't exactly a packmate yet. His name is Red. Kinley and I are trying to recruit him but all he wants to do is be alpha so he constantly picks fights with me since I am alpha." Saying it out loud, why would anyone want to join his pack? "It's sometimes nice to be around others but I tend to like being on my own sometimes."

Shu blinked in startlement then carefully gripped the bag of art supplies offered to him. “Thank you Jacie. This means a lot to me. And umm, if I was part of your pack I’d never pick fights with you! I bet you’re a great leader!” Shu tilted his head to one side as he took a bit of a closer look around the dorm room. It certainly looked like two different personalities clashed a lot in here. Shu was standing there, wondering what to say next when he heard her. His Babysitter. Ugh. Apparently he’d lost track of time way to much and hadn’t been where she’d told him to be waiting for her and now she was searching. He was probably in trouble again after last time it’d happened. “ Habushuuuuuuu! Get over here from wherever you’re hiding! It’s way past time to leave, we’re going to be late getting home for your dinner!” Oh shoot, Kavita sounded really mad. Shu flattened his ears and swished his tail around. “Well I...gotta go. Umm, see you tomorrow Jacie? I’ll show you what I’ve drawn!” He got excited all over again, fur fluffing out as he started purring at the thought of using the bag of art supplies at his house. Man this would be a good night, if he didn’t get grounded for being late, that was. He ducked out the dorm door and raced down the hallway to meet his babysitter before Jacie could see her. (Wc: 246]
