Saturday morning outdoor post
It is a lovely late autumn morning in Milliways, and despite the briskness of the morning air, there are people about:
Dr. Hannibal Lecter is sharing a lawn table with Jin Guangyao; there is a pot of tea to share (unsmoked wild lapsang souchong, very fitting for both time of day and season), and both are painting the lovely Scottish scenery, each in his style. Dr. Lecter, of course, is an accomplished artist (even if his work tends to look as if it hailed from another century), and Jin Guangyao regards painting, along with calligraphy, as one of the arts that a gentleman of his culture should at least be capable of. He can never aspire to the effortless elegance of a Nie Huaisang or the sheer skill of a Wei Wuxian, but Dr. Lecter has encouraged him to try, and keeps being helpful -- be bolder, be faster, be not afraid, throw away what he's not content with, rather than mull over his mistakes, start over, start over, start over...
As Dr. Lecter gets up to fetch a new pot of tea, Jin Guangyao spreads a fresh sheet of thin, absorbent paper, relaxes his shoulders, and readies his brush once more.
[[OOC: Get both at once, or find Hannibal in the kitchen or on his way there, and JGY at the table by himself, making yet another attempt at capturing the scenery.]]
