Evie
I see what lies heavy on your heart
He folds her closer beneath his arm, and Evie turns her head a little to press a smacking kiss on the top of his shoulder, smearing the mud that still clings to the both of them in both areas. The sigh of bliss that escapes her as he increases the temperature then caresses the same spot, and she tilts her head to rest upon his shoulder as she sinks deeper into the mud. Despite having worked with soil her entire life, she never could have anticipated a mud bath feeling this fantastic. Admittedly, it's a great last go at relaxation before the war dawns upon them, and she closes her eyes for a brief moment as he kisses her hairline, grateful for this little escape they've made - antics and all.
Opening her eyes at the rumble of his voice, it takes a moment for Evie to determine what he's referencing, but once she catches on her grin is alight like a match. "Long distance painting, huh? Show me what you got." At least if he fails, making it some grotesque creation, it won't be too far off from the source material.
