[ of course, as it turns out, the one thing that she's forgotten to mention to lyssa was the fact that she didn't really have a convenient method of transportation. all she'd asked for the location & time, thinking that would have been enough. of course it hadn't been.

... oh well.

hooking her small messenger bag-slash-purse on her shoulder, she bids her dad goodbye after reassuring him that she'll be back by ten (yes, yes, don't worry, just the mall--). & promptly feels glad that she left two hours before the time she's supposed to meet lyssa 'cause she just missed the bus & the next one won't be arriving for another half-hour. she settles down, pews & waits. long story short (after she subtracts the bus ride & all the weird things her hair is doing in the humidity), she manages to get to the mall in once piece: none of her organs are missing, her dress isn't ripped up, & no one had shoved her head down a toilet. day's pretty good so far (where's wood to knock on when she needed some?). 'cept the fact that she's probably a few minutes late, but--

... oh well.

she'll apologize to lyssa as soon as she can find him. ]

Sure, but shading comes from the light hitting your body, right? And light has a scientific basis behind it, as well as a person's body structure that will contour a frame in a very specific way. Even in art you have to take classes to learn about the human body, right? I remember having to learn about every single bone and muscle and why they can twist and turn in certain ways... [ trails off briefly so he can concentrate on fixing one part. after that's done: ] It was hard, but also quite fascinating. Likewise when being taught about other specifics when I decided to go into the fashion industry. When learning about drapery, I had to be aware of why it was draping a certain way. Fabrics have different weights, which in turn designates exactly where it should fall in certain places. I also had to learn how the fabrics were made, and the science behind getting certain colors if they weren't natural.
