i reach out to my lifeline, the angels laugh in paradise
El's eyes widened as they opened the notebook Sohalia so readily handed over. They hadn't meant to interrupt her sketching, but took the opportunity anyway to scan each page with focused attention. There were drawings of creatures, plants, places they had never seen, and it excited them.
"Like something out of a story," they murmured to themself in wonder as they continued to pore over the pages. The maps were interesting too and so were the notes, but their favorite part had to be the drawings of flora and fauna. They were tracing their finger over a sketch of a long-necked bird in the midst of a swamp when they realized they were probably taking too long and quickly returned the book to Sohalia.
Looking at those images had sparked something in El, and the urge only grew as they continued to gaze out onto the lovely meadow. They took the strap of their satchel down and started digging through it, looking for something. They smiled a bit as they found what they were looking for and pulled out a small pencil in black. Then they turned to look back at Soh.
"Could I borrow a page or two from that book, you think?" They wanted to sketch a bit and help commit this place to memory.
