Raiquen glanced up at Zora frequently. Occasionally, he put the pencil down and shook his hand, before picking it back up again and working. Soon, however, he stood up and looked over the picture.
"Zora. You are a beautiful subject for a portrait."

Zora waited, her curiosity almost getting the better of her several times before he spoke. When he did, she looked over at him inquisitively.
"I am? May I please see it?" she asked, stepping over to him. She was incredibly curious as to how his perspective would portray her, and she just realy wanted to see it.

"Certainly." Raiquen handed the sketch to her. Hoping it would give her something to be pleasant about, he leaned back against the wall. Taking out his sketchbook, he stared at the complex logo from before. Closing it immediately, he looked back up to see what Zora's reaction was.

Zora stared in amazement at the portrait of herself that she held in her hand. Everything about it was perfect, in her opinion. She broke into an amazed smile.
"This is the best picture of me that I've ever seen, honestly. Better than any photograph, 'least, that's what I think. It truly is."

"Uncountable years of work truly get to you." Raiquen said as if it was a great-acting disease. He patted Zora on the shoulder.
"Keep that. I don't need it." He pocketed his pencil. "Need anything else?"

Zora was about to answer no, but she spared a quick glance in the direction of the home she'd been kicked out of. Locked up tight, the place almost resembled a cold stone fortress.
"Well, there is one thing... It doesn't look like I'll be getting back inside there any time soon, so if it isn't too much of an imposition..." she looked at him nervously, then back at the locked building, then back at Raiquen.

"You need a place to stay." Raiquen finished for her. He had seen the various glances between him and the house. He had never let anybody into his house after his parents died. But then again, this girl was out on the streets, fending herself only by doing jobs that she subjected herself to. He sighed.
"I suppose you can. But I doubt you'll like it too much, it's bleak."

Zora looked up at him. She had been expecting an answer of no, but she had been hoping, praying that he would say yes. She took a breath.
"Thank you. Truly and sincerely. I don't mind that it's bleak. I'll live." she said. It was true, she was greatly relieved that she wouldn't have to spend another night on the streets, scared out of her mind, and it showed on the expression on her face.

Raiquen nodded. He pulled up his sagging cloak, before motioning to her.
"Come. It is time to be off." He looked askance at Zora, before briskly pacing westerly. This girl seemed too energetic to enjoy his home, but she'd assured him that she'd live.

Zora spared one last glanced at the locked building she had once called home, before noticing Raiquen speak and then start walking. She followed him at an equally brisk pace, pausing occasionally to look at something, then running to catch up again. She ran out of breath quickly when she did this, however, so she hoped they'd be there soon.
