Claudia Winchester stretched her legs out in front of her, leaning back against the bench she was sitting on. She yawned, brought her legs back in to cross at the ankles, and flipped the page of the book in her hands. It was just one of those days, she thought, one of those days to spend among nature with a good book. Except, she was almost done with the book.

The thought brought her eyes flickering up from one of the last few pages to the park around her and the scant few people populating it. It was still the holidays, so she figured she'd be seeing more people out than this. A couple of the people lingering about left the park, leaving it feeling even more empty than before. Perhaps it was simply too early in the day? Too cold out?

She decided to study the small number of people left. Mostly just people on their phones or reading books like she was, but then her eyes fell on someone she hadn't seen before. . .

Jophiel had to carry his canvas from the art room all the way to the park in order to paint the morning sun still rising up into the sky, he smiled at the clearness of the blue complimented by the oranges and yellows the sun provided.

He took a breath and closed his eyes seeing the many spirits that decorated the park around, some were formless and some were in the shape of animals. He opened his eyes back up and begun to paint the scene while including some of the spirit he saw briefly.

Due to the cold he couldn't wear the traditional artist apron, so he used the old cloak and scarf he had as a kid which itself had some old paint on it.

A person painting in the park--when it was this cold? He was dedicated, Claudia thought, and she admired that a little. She tilted her head in an attempt to see what it was he was painting, but she realized how dumb that was because she was actually kind of far away from him. Instead, she got up from the bench, tucked her book in her black jacket pocket, and began to move closer to the young man. Old boy? Or was that actually a girl? She really couldn't tell from this distance.

Claudia was very careful not to alert the purple-haired person to her approach, stepping in other people's footprints, and she was lucky that she hadn't worn very noisy clothes today. Were she actually visible, she'd probably be the most obvious sneak ever.

As she grew closer, she was able to see him and the canvas a bit more properly. She lingered a couple feet back, standing on her booted tip-toes to see what the painting was looking like so far.

Jophiel stroked carefully and smooth using different brushes to achieve the scenery's beauty, however it was a little difficult to include the spirits due to there usual unusual forms and such. He made the ones in the sky of his painting a pinkish purple color, almost like a bunch of mini auroras and birds. The ones on the gteen grass and trees he choose to make them a yellowish orange, appearing almost like little walking/floating flames.

He called a wind spirit over and got out his magic tablet, the tablet lit up to show the spirit a picture of a red and white crane with swirling patterns on its wings mimicking wind, "Would you be kind enough to help me dry this with some warm air?" he asked the spirit. To which the spirit agreed to this by being absorbed into jophiel's pen, and with a tap on the tablet out came the warm air crane flying up and then landing on jophiel's shoulder.

The crane gently moved its wings blowing warm air torwards the painting.

Claudia Winchester was dumbfounded. The person began talking to absolutely nothing, and she wondered if perhaps he was crazy until something appeared out of literally nothing and sat on him. What in the world was that? A crane?

She briefly considered just walking away now, feeling a bit frightened when she thought about what a person who could conjure things out of seemingly thin air could do. However, against what was surely her better judgement, she decided to stay a little longer. She tucked her scarf over her nose and mouth and moved just a bit closer, now wondering if he was going to make anything else appear out of the blue--white? It was winter after all.

In the process of closing some of the distance between them, her foot accidentally connected with a rock that had been buried beneath the snow and sent it rolling over to the purple-haired painting person.

Jophiel noticed the sound of rock rolling to him, he looked to the direction where it was coming from, however he didnt see anyone there.

"hmm...weird." he said, the crane shook its body a bit and looked deadstriaght at Claudia, she might be invisible to people but not to spirits. Jophiel on the other hand was confused why the crane was reacting to something, "Hey hey easy buddy, there's nothing there...right?"

Jophiel closed his eyes and initially didnt see anything unusual, just random spirits to him and such. When he opened his eyes, he shurgged and pet the crane to hav it continue drying his painting.

"I wonder if there are any spirits of snow around that I could use to make fancy snow sculptures...hehehe could be fun to make an ice castle...*sighs* I need more friends to do things with aside from spirits." jophiel said, the crane gave him a look, "Haha but spirits are cool too don't worry."

Claudia bit her tongue, silently swearing at her mistake. She stared at the crane as it stared at her, non-magically willing it with her mind to just turn back around and ignore her and not make the guy any more suspicious than he was. Thankfully, both he and the spirit didn't seem to press any further. Relief washed over her, and she regained her confidence.

This time as she continued moving closer, she was very careful not to go kicking anything or tripping over anything else. She peered over his unoccupied shoulder at the canvas, still lingering a foot or two back to avoid making any physical contact. His words didn't really register with her; she'd tuned them out as more spirit talk after she heard him mentioning them. Ghosts were definitely not her thing, no way. They might both be invisible to the human eye, but that was as far as she was willing to connect herself with them.

She prayed that the spirit wouldn't give her away.

"Alright then I'm liking the painting so far...even if its not snowy and cloud like in real life...think I should retry but actually painted the place in snow?" jophiel said half to himself and to the crane on his shoulder, course it couldn't talk so its no surprise that it didnt respond. However the crane did notice the presence of Claudia coming closer to jophiel.

The crane flapped its wings at her as a warning not to do harm to jophiel, but jophiel himself covered face from the flapping, "Alright alright geez, I guess you don't like the snow or something. Birds sometimes." he said as the crane's head moved torward Claudia, looking at her as any curious animal would. But jophiel simply continued to paint over the painting he made, dipping in some lighter colors to get the scene of the park as if it weren't in snow.

This bird! How was she supposed to observe this guy when there was some weird spirit thing flapping its wings at her and staring at her like that? If that thing could talk, her cover probably would've been blown long ago. Wait. . .Could he have a conversation with spirits? She really hoped not. Maybe if she just ignored it and didn't make any sudden moves, it'd get bored and start ignoring her too.

Solid plan.

Claudia looked over the painting and wondered too if it would look better painted in snow like he was asking. She thought painting snow would be too hard and not worth the time, but that was probably because she wasn't really a painter in the first place. Good art required a lot of effort and skill. Still, it was kind of interesting to see this person paint as if the snow wasn't there--painting straight from the mind. It was difficult, she thought, to translate your imagination to paper or canvas and have it turn out even half as good as what you pictured.

"Ok then how about this-Ah what are you doing?" jophiel asked the crane who was trying peak at Claudia's clothing, to jophiel it seems like the crane was just trying to catch a bug prehaps, but in the winter?

"Ok ok come on now behave, there's nothing there see-" jophiel said as he reached out and only slightly touched Claudia's jacket. He jumped back startled, "The Fudge Was That???" he exclaimed, he couldn't see any spirit there in front of him and the leather threw him off.

He pointed his paint brush in the direction of Claudia but not pointing directly at her in a awkward sort of defense pose. As if a paint brush would protect him.
