Favour

Warden was halfway through his Rune painting when the elder joined him. His proficiency in drawing indicated that he was not unfamiliar with this practice, even though he had chosen something easier to draw. Rune painting was a more artistic process compared to most runesmithing, which was why most runesmiths occasionally dabbled in it to synchronise their creative and logical faculties.

The image of the little ravenous bunny was forming clearly on the script paper, but Warden decided to set it aside for now. He couldn't keep the elder waiting, could he?

"I see you are quite skilled at painting as well," Elder Ming remarked as he joined Warden in his seat.

"Me?" Warden waved it off. "I'm absolutely abhorrent at it. Drawing in geometrical figures? How can anyone love this kind of torturous process?"

He glanced at Jenni in the corner of his eyes, but her expression and aura didn't give away anything.
