[Line by line, the drawing appears. No, the drawings appear.

They're all of the same little lizard, but they are carefully done from multiple angles. The precise, detailed depictions... are in stark contrast to the hastily scrawled notes about the creature, appearing near key features or generally off to the side.

[ true to her word, she doesn't knock. instead, she shoulders her way into the building -- hugging a little picnic basket to her chest. ]

I'll huff, and I'll puff...[ she teases into the home's silence; play-acting the big bad wolf. ]

[patchworkallegiance]

Welcome, my dear.

[He greets her with a warm smile, noting the basket immediately.]

Now, that seems much more suited to enjoying this delightful weather than staying cooped up in here.

[In a place such as this on a day like today, he was much more inclined to be out and active than stuck inside. When it called for it, he would not leave his books and notes, but when there was little else to do immediately...]
