CloudCadence (12:27:27 PM): *flounces in, dancing around to the "music in her head"*

xxmarzipanzxx (12:30:04 PM): -comes onto the scene with a bit of nervousness as he eyes Maria- So pretty.... -speaking to himself of course.-

CloudCadence (12:30:45 PM): *is caught up in her dance and bumps into Achilles*

xxmarzipanzxx (12:32:37 PM): -sees she's getting closer but is to lost in her dancing to noticed really. Once he is bumped he gasps and takes a quick jump back.- I'm sorry. I didn't mean to get in your way... I... you dance really pretty.

CloudCadence (12:34:01 PM): Oh! Haha, hello Achilles! *is flustered by her little bumble* It
CloudCadence (12:34:08 PM): 's alright dear.

xxmarzipanzxx (12:35:08 PM): Hi. Maria... where did you learn to be so beautiful. -tilts his head and gives a shy smile. He didn't want it to sound like he was hitting on her, but it sort of came out in that way.-

CloudCadence (12:38:16 PM): It's something I've picked up from living with my owner. He was a nomadic fellow and we met all sorts of quirky characters. I never could stay with one form of dancing, so the humans were paitent enough with my indecisivenss. *spins around on her back heels, gaily and flourishes her tail*

xxmarzipanzxx (12:40:26 PM): Achilles:: Well, I think it's great that you're so diverse. It makes you all the more interesting. -blushes and looks down at his feet with a crooked grin- Wish I had a talent like that.

CloudCadence (12:41:53 PM): *giggles and accepts the compliment humbly* I bet you've got something, Achilly. Everyone has something they're good at. Even if it isn't something flashy.

xxmarzipanzxx (12:44:43 PM): -tilts his head slightly at the new nickname. Nobody has ever thought up a nickname for him before. It made him feel special, cared about.- Heh, well... maybe I'll find it eventually. -looks back up at her and notices how pretty her green eyes are, but could never bring himself to say it.-

CloudCadence (12:46:58 PM): *tilts her head and grins* Well, what do you like to do, Achilles? People tend to do what they're good at and vice versa.

xxmarzipanzxx (12:48:19 PM): -scratches the back of his neck a bit nervously. He was never good about explaining himself.- I uh... I like to make people smile.

CloudCadence (12:50:08 PM): *thinks on his answer and gets a flood of ideas immediately* Well, you know, that's something people need a lot nowadays. Do you know of any jokes, perhaps? Or maybe can you create things that would make people smile?

xxmarzipanzxx (12:51:51 PM): -blushes and shakes his head with a slight chuckle- No, no jokes. I always fail at those. Um... what do you mean create things? -is very interested in what she has to say-

CloudCadence (12:54:43 PM): Arts and crafts! If given the right materials, creative minds can make the most lovely trinkets. I once met a gypsy-woman who claimed she made amethyst jewelry and made a decent living off of that for a while. People liked the items she made as well. *is reminded of the days with her old owner and feels a sting of nostalgia*

xxmarzipanzxx (12:56:48 PM): -tilts his head- Make things. Things that will make people smile? -smiles hopefully at the idea- I would like that, actually... but I haven't a clue on how to make anything, Maria. Where do I start?

CloudCadence (12:58:44 PM): Hmm...well first, we'd need an idea. Are there any colors, patterns or shapes you are fond of? A symbol perhaps? Like the star I have on my collar. *paws at the small silver star on her collar* Stars are a well-liked symbol.

xxmarzipanzxx (1:01:21 PM): - leans in and eyes her collar, growing fond of how pretty it looked- Stars... I like stars. -he couldn't tell if he was just saying that to relate to her or if he had a real liking to them. What wasn't to like though? Stars were beautiful.- Um... I like things that shine. Oh, and um... the color blue is nice.

CloudCadence (1:04:17 PM): *paws at Achilles' shirt* Like this color blue? I think it's called "navy", if I'm not mistaken. *tries to keep Achilles calm by speaking gently, noting his general anxiety that he's had everytime he's around her*

xxmarzipanzxx (1:05:36 PM): -tenses slightly as she paws at his shirt and tries to hide his blush by looking down.- A-actually... this shade of blue... -leans in close to her face and points at his eyes.-

CloudCadence (1:07:55 PM): *looks up at his eyes and smiles, as she is very fond of the pastel blue of Achilles' eyes* See? Colors like that make people happy. It's very relaxing. It made me smile even! *giggles softly*

xxmarzipanzxx (1:09:47 PM): -feels a sudden fluttering feeling in the pit of his stomach- Y-ya?! -he's obviously very glad that he can bring a smile to Maria's face- Well, thank you. They're all natural. -he chuckles lightly bites his lip to ease the nervousness.-

CloudCadence (1:12:10 PM): The next step is to use that color. This'll be a tricky part. *sits back down and thinks* Painting is the most obvious, dealing directly with color. Would that be something that sparks your interest?
xxmarzipanzxx (1:14:23 PM): -tilts his head and shrugs- I've never tried painting... probably because it never caught my interest. But I'm always willing to try something new.

CloudCadence (1:17:05 PM): Hmmm... have you ever tried just simply drawing? *tries to recall a place where finding art supplies would be easy* I'm sure if we scout around town, we'll find some sort of materials. I'm not good myself, but who knows for you?
xxmarzipanzxx (1:18:28 PM): -grins and nods at the idea- Y-ya... I've never tried so how would I know? Heh, I'll give it a shot. -places his hand gently on her shoulder and gives her a nice big smile.- Thanks for helping me figure this out.

CloudCadence (1:32:27 PM): *nuzzles Achilles hand with her head affectionately* You'll find your calling soon, I bet. You have a wonderful dream to make people smile and I don't doubt you'll reach it soon.

xxmarzipanzxx (1:34:59 PM): -widens his eyes with surprise but quickily composes himself- Maria.... -turns his hand to stroke her cheek softly, not realizing he is so trapped in her spell agian.- If you support me then I have no doubt it'll happen soon.

CloudCadence (1:40:09 PM): *blushes, not entire sure what to think of Achilles' affectionate touch, but likes it anyways* Well, if you ever need any more help, I'll play as your muse if need be.

xxmarzipanzxx (1:43:00 PM): -is feeling more and more confident as long as she isn't shoving him away- Well, thank you. For everything. -lets his hand fall from her face and can't help but smile wide-
