Oh what's this now?

Bastien had decided that the outside of his church was simply far too drab. The inside was a beautiful scene of dim blues and bright stars, so why should the outside look as terribly industrial as the rest of the buildings around? There was simply no excuse for the church to have a cream wall with no adornments. While it was not ideal weather for paint to dry, if there was no snow or rain for a night it would be alright. With this in mind, he had arrived that morning with paints and brushes (regularly supplied by Remi. He needed to get the man some kind of thank you gift, he thought) and had begun to dream while he looked at the wall. What could he do? Of course, stars were the obvious symbol, but perhaps they were becoming a little overused. He had begun by painting large, loose spirals coming away from the door in tones of blue and purple. Occasionally he would add just a hint of an iridescent green to catch the light, but not too much. People stared as they walked by, which he liked - it was performance of sorts. When Nairi first stopped to watch, he didn't think much of it, perhaps flicking his wrist a little more and putting in just that much more effort for her benefit. It was only when she spoke that he turned to look at her, a smile on his face. Helping others enter the arts had always been part of his life, though there was a little twinge of this is my piece, though; he swallowed it down and handed her a paintbrush. "Of course, cara. Take this and paint whatever your soul tells you. Would you tell me your name? I would love to know who I am collaborating with." BASTIEN I'm feeling devious, you're looking glamourous
