Eve took care of everything once they were done. She was excited to go back to the art studio, wanting to get things started for her painting of Miya as soon as possible, though her first priority was cleaning up the mess she made today.

She removed her cardigan right as they returned and then entered the place, before grabbing a cloth in the small work room and a bottle of thinner. She looked up at Miya when she got back out, giving her a reassuring nod. "You can move, I'll take care of everything," she answered. "After all, I did ask you to play something, right?"

She chuckled, before putting some thinner on the cloth and wiping the floor with it. The paint came off easily. She, however, won't be able to fix the ruined paintings like this. She looked at them, and heaved a long, heavy, sigh.

"Such a waste of good art," she said, mostly telling this to herself. She then turned back to Miya. Unlike a while ago, when she was all grins, she now smiled gently. "Thank you for the favor, Miya. I owe you this, and, well, I'll always be here for you from now on if you need anyone."

She stood up. Studio didn't seem so bad now that the floor was clean."Right." She joined her hands together and cracked her knuckles. "I'll have to sketch you first. I just need your face features. We can do the painting sketch with the piano tomorrow, I'll contact my friend first, and get permission from your school, and then we'll start working for real. So uh... Can I sketch you now?"

Eve looked around and grabbed the two chairs in the corner for them. So they could both just relax while she sketches. Talk about more stuff, why not?

"That is true. I'll have to find something that will fit the mood. Or multiple pieces. Can't wait to play!"

Miya sounded like an excited school girl at this point but it was offset by her somewhat deep voice. Nevertheless she was still excited as hell to play a piece and get sketched at the same time. Miya started to trace her wards to contain her nervousness from exploding into heat.

Watching Eve clear up some of the mess Miya was curious about what Eve was using to clear it up. She figured some kind of paint removal chemical. Seeing the change in Eve's mood made her smile as she got a little scared and somewhat intimidated when Eve pretty much nonchalantly asked to sketch her. Well that is why Miya came back but was still a little scary to think about.

"Of course. And hey I'll leave you my number too so you have someone you can talk to as well. So any particular way you want me to sit? Or should I just be natural? Hair down? Up? Face covered? Sorry about the 21 questions, just figured we'd make this a good sketch."

Miya took a seat. She didn't know how she should sit and tried to sit as comfortably as she could. Her right leg came up and rested on her left knee as she crossed her arms and looked at Eve. Miya had redone her hair better on the walk over so now her face was completely showing, including what looked like a patch of scarred skin on the right side of her neck. The scar covered most of the midsection of the right side of her neck with it trailing down under her shirt.

"Excited and nervous. Just like a performance. Just a different kind of performance. Yeah."

Eve found herself leaning forward to give Miya an affectionate pat on the head when she started acting like a cute schoolgirl. She was technically one though. Eve was glad when Miya technically gave her permission to call anytime, since they already exchanged numbers in the pizza house a while ago and such.

She chuckled, having her own turn to giggle afterwards like an excited school girl herself. She was too old for that though, which made it seem less appropriate on her than on Miya.

"Thank you, Miya! Oh, no need to be too tensed. Relax, dear. All you have to do is stay looking in one direction." She circled her slowly just to get a good look at her whole face, especially now that she's raised her hair to reveal more. She saw the mark on Miya's neck. It was actually attractive for her.

"If you don't mind me asking, where'd you get that scar?" she asked casually as she went to her bag to get her sketchpad and pencil. She opened it to the first blank page, flipping the ones with sketches carefully to the back, and started making scribbles for a start.

"Relax. Yeah. I'll try."

She didn't know how she was going to relax but she did her best to untense and just go with the flow. She relaxed her shoulders a bit and just kept still as much as she could. Then she got the idea to just think of pieces and started "going through her book" in her mind as she tried to think of what pieces would be perfect.

This stopped when the scar was brought up. Miya cringed at the mention and uncomfortably took her jacket off to let more of the scar show, and showed the rest of the scars across her arms, lowering her shirt to show the rest of the scar that started the whole conversation.

"This...Is what happens when I lose control. All these are burns caused by my own flames. That's why I mostly keep my hair down and my coat on. Sure the coat helps keep my body heat from expanding, but I...Don't like people seeing the scars. Some might think I'm....Dangerous."

Miya shifted in the chair and sounded uncomfortable and scared at the same time. Eve was one of the few people who had seen her scars and that she has told. She didn't know how else to deal with the situation. Strangely the room wasn't even heating up after he jacket came off. When she ever got asked about her scars she seemingly got full control of her body heat and she felt just as warm as any normal person.

"That's fire for ya. Beautiful but just as dangerous and can turn in the blink of an eye..."

Eve didn't stop sketching, even as Miya told her stories. She was genuinely listening to her though. And when Miya stopped, Eve smiled at her and went closer, giving her a gentle pat on the head.

"Fire is indeed beautiful. It's also destructive at one point. But without fire, there couldn't be any life. Fire and life. I think that's a good association."

She chuckled and stuck her sketchpad between her left arm and torso to grab Miya's jacket and put it over her shoulders. And then she gently took her hair so it would flow down outside. She had sensed Miya's discomfort, she hoped she could cheer her up somehow. "Thank you for sharing, Miya. It must've been tough on you, but I believe in your beauty, inside and out. I mean hey, you were just passing by but you cheered me up and let me sketch and paint you. You're an angel, and I know you'll be in full control of your fire in no time."

She patted her again, before stepping back to her previous spot and sketching again. "Now relax more, Miya. No need to be a statue. You might hurt your back and shoulders if you don't move."

Miya let out a small noise at the pat to the head. It was more akin to feeling comfortable and happy at the gesture. Eve was right though. Fire was important and was as beautiful and dangerous as anything else. This made Miya feel more at ease and the tension started to leave her body. When Eve grabbed her jacket Miya was abotu to protest when it was set over her shoulders while Eve played with her hair. Well, she wasn't entirely against this.

"Well...I suppose you are right. I could have kept going like every other person and ignored your pleas yet here we are with you sketchpad in hand and I just sitting here posing....Thank you though. Most would shy away against such scars but you pretty much embraced them like they were nothing. That makes me happy."

Miya had a quick idea when Eve mentioned relaxing again. There was only one thing that could get her to relax very easily which prompted Miya to slouch a bit and start writing music notes in the air, tiny flames appearing as she did. Nothing too dangerous or harmful. They appeared just as quickly as they vanished. Miya found this an easy way to relax herself as she got to start working on another piece. With a smile on her face Miya wrote in the air three simple words where the flames stood for half a minute before disappearing.

"Flames of Passion."

"Think I got a new idea for a piece. Got a title for once too. Not just Composition Number Whatever."

Eve smiled. She was happy Miya started to ease up, and even start writing things in the air. She recognized that she was writing music stuff, and watched them just in time before they disappeared. And then she went back to sketching, already starting with Miya's forehead and cheeks. She was going for the jaw and neck afterwards, and she was going to include her scar.

"I don't think there's a reason for me to go away just because of your scar. I already told you my side. I really think you're wonderful." She paused sketching, looking up at Miya to smile at her. And then she continued.

"Hmm... Flames of Passion, huh? It sounds wonderful. Appropriate for you, dear."

A few more strokes and then Eve flipped the sketchpad so Miya could see her work so far. She's done with the shape of the head, the neck, her scar, and her eyes. "How is it?"

Miya was taking mental notes on a piece she could write for Eve and what she could play for her from the pieces she already had. She had a few lined up so she could continue playing Eve continued to draw and even started to hum a little of a few, going from one tune to the next with seemingly no pause or change in rhythm.

"Thanks Eve. Never know how people are going to react. Doesn't mean I'm not going to be self-conscious about it though. Oh and it was Flames, not Games. Guess my flame writing was off."


She continued to sit there more relaxed knowing that she wasn't being treated any different then normal even with her scars showing. Hell Miya felt flustered that Eve actually seemed to enjoy seeing the scars and felt like she was more impressed with them then anything.

When Eve showed Miya the sketch Miya's jaw dropped. Oh my god it was....Miya had received numerous compliments about her looks, hair, attire, and knew that people saw her as beautiful. But seeing just the beginning sketch made Miya feel even more so.

"Wow. This is...Well amazing. Just a sketch and it already looks great. Still weird seeing the scar. I hate looking at them in general, but it's something I choose to live with over having them healed. Guess you could say that the scars and my hair are my defining features now."

(ooc: 'games' was a typo on my part sorry, I'm editing that part out)

Eve laughed. "I won't necessarily paint the star, Miya. Don't worry. I just need to memorize your head's shape and features so I don't encounter some trouble while painting. Glad you like it though."

She turned the sketchpad back to her direction and continued sketching. She gave Miya's eyes more strokes, copied her nose and shaded some parts until they were realistic and lively enough. And then she started with her hair, she sketched it tied up just the way Miya fixed it, but for the painting, she'll need her hair down.

She was done after a few minutes. With a content sigh, she went closer to her, handing her the sketchpad. "Done. What do you think?"

"You can go ahead and do it. It's a part of me and I know that once I get more comfortable and do more live performances that I'll need to wear nicer clothing that will end up showing my scars. I have a few dresses made with my fire resistant clothing so I can do so."

Miya felt more comfortable sitting for Eve. It took a while but one thing that she hadn't let on to Eve was she could heat up her muscles and cause them to relax on their own if she felt like it. Kind of like her own personal hot tub or sauna.

When the sketch was finished and handed to her Miya could only look from the sketch, to Eve, back to the sketch, back to Eve, then finally resting on the sketch. There wasn't any words Miya could think of to describe what she wanted to. It was damn well perfect and Miya thought she was looking in a mirror for the most part.

"Wow. Just...Wow. You make me jealous you know that? I can write music, sew my own clothing, and cook really well. But drawing? This makes me so jealous I want to just...Oh what the hell."

Miya stands up with teh sketch pad and gives Eve a small and quick hug. Letting go Miya continues to stare at the sketch with a smile that could be described as almost love like. She really did love the sketch. If this was just a sketch she couldn't wait to see what Eve could do painting her. She already saw her work and knew it would be fantastic but nothing compare to seeing yourself made into art.
