Emery flushed a little. "Oh, maybe. I'm only alright at it."
"The Imperial need for control is so desperate because it is so unnatural. Tyranny requires constant effort. It breaks, it leaks. Authority is brittle. Oppression is the mask of fear. Remember that." -Karis Nemik
“Psh!” Aashi scoffed, waving her hand. “You enjoy it, right? That’s what matters. A good painter is a happy painter.”

"I do enjoy it." He smiled. "Quite a lot. It's a good way to think through things."
"The Imperial need for control is so desperate because it is so unnatural. Tyranny requires constant effort. It breaks, it leaks. Authority is brittle. Oppression is the mask of fear. Remember that." -Karis Nemik
Aashi cocked her head to the side thoughtfully. "Do you use it as a way to express yourself, do you think?"

"Certainly! What artist doesn't express themselves through art?" Emery asked.
"The Imperial need for control is so desperate because it is so unnatural. Tyranny requires constant effort. It breaks, it leaks. Authority is brittle. Oppression is the mask of fear. Remember that." -Karis Nemik
"Fair point!" Aashi agreed with a smile. "Do you try to express it in a way for others to understand, or more a meaning only for yourself?"

Emery shrugged. "Kind of both. It depends on my mood. Sometimes I just let my feelings bleed into my impressions of what I see. Other times I put my feelings all over the place."
"The Imperial need for control is so desperate because it is so unnatural. Tyranny requires constant effort. It breaks, it leaks. Authority is brittle. Oppression is the mask of fear. Remember that." -Karis Nemik
Aashi nodded. "Is there any creation you're particularly proud of?"

Emery nodded. "Yeah. It's a sketch I did back when I first started out. It's still my favorite one."

"It's of a bird on my windowsill. I think it was sick, or it would have flown away. I sketched it for a few straight hours." He smiled sadly. "I fed it a little over the next few days and them it passed away."

(hahah I'm just glad I saw you online tbh xD I was like oooo she online, bet I'm gonna get a response soon-- I got one six minutes ago???? what hap??? lol)
"That's sweet." Aashi hummed for a moment. "I'm glad it appreciated your kindness in its last few days in this lifetime."

(One of the most useful parts of this website (and one of the most anxiety-inducing) is the Friends Online box)
"I hope it did." He sighed. "Birds are probably my favorite animal, especially songbirds. They're so fragile and lovely. They bring so much joy."

“They really do.” Aashi sighed longingly. “And each one with their own unique melody. Tadaaki’s imitations are as lovely as the original.”
He flushed a little and gave a shy, uncomfortable smile. He wished to god she’d stop painting the picture of who he used to be in front of the people who had to deal with him now. He wasn’t the man she married. And he never would be again.

(I'm listening to the Tomhas playlist right now and honestly it's making me so sad Maybe I have too much context for all the reasons I put these songs on here but it breaks my heart even more than Gaius's does)
(I also made a Lyra one but it's under construction)
"Oh, you do bird impressions?" Emery asked with interest, looking to Tadaaki. "That's amazing!"
