Hmmm... it wouldn't hurt to add to the drawing, even though it might not be her best work. She drew a triangle with a swooping upside down arc and hoped Cha would be able to recognize it as a sextant. She turned to him to point it out but stopped when she noticed his profile. She had been looking for something interesting to draw, here it was practically handed to her. Sketching a couple flashlights on the table so as not to alert the other Durmstranger of her true purpose (keeping his focus on that drawing), she decided that she had been telling the truth when she had responded "you" earlier.
A couple minutes later, she had the outline of his head and hair, plus a bit of his eyes done. She was determined to get this right, even though drawing on a wall with crumbly chalk wasn't the easiest medium. She also was determined to do his mouth last. So she wouldn't have to focus on it too much. For obvious reasons.
Drawing definitely was not his strong point. Give him the most complicated Arithmancy problems to solve and he would be able to do just that but this was beyond impossible. Mischa was surprised when Karina joined in but he really was happy. They were working on this together. He watched as she drew something in the shape of a triangle.
"The sextant,'' he murmured. He continued to watch as she added the flashlights completely unaware of what Karina was planning on sketching.
"Ve can't forge the coins,'' Mischa stated and reached up to draw the bag in which the coins were to be held. In the process he accidentally brushed Karina's hand. Her soft hand......
"Sorry,'' he said not at all sorry. He continued to work on the bag trying his best to get it to actually look like a bag.
