Cassie stood in silence. Although she was impressed by the grace and spirit shown by Pandora, Cassie's professional eye couldn't help but pick out technical faults and slight adjustments which could be made. Cassie silently berated herself for her critical approach and the term diamond in the rough came to mind. Cassie smiled, she knew a fellow dancer when she saw one.

Pandora leaped into the air and twirled around before landing gracefully. Then something unexpected entered into her world and she went down into a deep curtsy gracefully She opened her eyes and stood in one motion before going back to her pad and picking it up. "Happy." She said as she began to draw again, not that she actually cared about the other girls happiness.

"You're an amazing dancer" Cassie breathed, suddenly respectful of Pandora. "I even like you now, despite your bad manners" Cassie said. She began to work on her dance again, letting the music guide her so her movement although controlled and precise told a story and became the music.

Pandora smiled "Oh because I so care about being liked." Being liked by people was not on her list of priorities at the moment. But at least she didn't brush off the compliment regardless of the source and this time when she began to draw she had a model right in front of. The only thing she changed was the background she wasn't particularly fond of this scenery in the room and so she took her own field of memory and placed the dancing girl within it.

Cassie finished, satisified with the changes she had made. she had noticed that Pandora seemd to be observing her so she walked over. "Were you drawing me?" she asked, curious.

Pandora waited for a moment as she added the final detail and then in the bottom corner nearly hidden she scrawled in elaborate script the phrase be all my sins remembered and then her name the way she finished almost everything she did and then she turned around the finished sketch and handed over the pad "This doesn't mean I like you, it means your interesting to draw."

Cassie nodded, understanding waht Pandora meant. "She took the pad from her and studied the picture. She was impressed, Pandora had managed to capture the essence of her while still keeping the detail. "It's wonderful" Cassie said softly. She paused and handing the sketch pad back to Pandora walked over to her own bag. she retrieved her wand and her sketch pad and went and sat down opposite Pandora. "These are mine" Cassie said, flipping the pad open to the right page. They were simple yet delicate drawings of ballerinas and other dancers. At the moment they were nothing special.

Pandora looked at the pictures, they were good in there own way but then again when it came to art so much of it was the style that she could never actually bring herself to truly tear apart the work of any one else so instead she turned around the book "Who are these to you." It was an innocent enough question but it was important just the same.

"Just dancers" Cassie said, "They're supposed to be simple so that I can do this" Cassie continued. She tapped the skecth pad with her wand and the dancers suddenly begain to glide across the crisp white paper. Each one had been in a different position and as they moved they melded into one which as it glided across the paper began to sweep into each position of it's own accord. Cassie smiled, pleased with the way it had turned out.

Pandora shook her head sadly, the purpose wasn't bad but the way she viewed simplicity is all wrong. "No, you don't understand. Even in simplicity the picture should still have a soul a part of either your very being or the portrayal of another's." She saw potential but if Cassie couldn't connect with her work on a personal level then it would never really be able to live for anyone else. Each work needed to be able to share something to speak to whoever looked upon it.

Cassie understood what she meant, these drawings had been only as a trial for her to experiment with the charms. She took the pad off Pandora and flipped the page over pausing for a second herself to remember the reason behind her next sketch. "How about this?" she asked, passing it back. The picture was a charcoal sketch of a ballerina. She was in the middle of a pirouette, her neck and shoulders were posiedand one leg was bent delicately. The charcoal managed to give the impression that she was spinning and the grace of the ballerina was captured in the swift lines.

Pandora looked at her for a moment and then down at the picture again "Your form is good, the lines graceful but I still think you need to connect more but that just might be more of my thing." She smiled at the thought, her pictures were also a bit lighter then any of Pandora. It kind of made her wonder what kind of sheltered happy life that Cassie had led.

Cassie smiled, "I'm not an artist, whereas you are. I just like to draw because it means I get to study dancing even more, it also helps with my dancing as it increases my perception and attention to detail, both important in dance. Your work is amazing, it has an extra layer of emotion, mine is just a sketch" Cassie said, stretching to ease her muscles.

"Yeah we'll thats because you don't put it there." Pandora responded though then again maybe the other girl didn't have any emotions to spare. She flipped through the Cassie's book and then turned back to her own flipping from one picture to the next each one was different though some elements were in common with some of the others.

Cassie sighed, "I wish I could draw like that," she said. Then motioning with her wand towards her bag a set of pencils came flying through the air towards her. They landed gently in her hand and she flipped the packet open to select one. She took up her pad and began to draw. She outlined a trees and a girl dancing in the clearing. Cassie let sunlight slant through the trees and the leaves on the ground looked crunchy as it was autumn time. The girl seemed blissful, as if her dancing made her complete, as it was often how Cassie felt. She finsihed, putting in some detail and turned it to face Pandora. "Any better?" she asked hesitantly.
