Rough pencil lines are drawn over smooth paper as a petite figure draws on a sketch pad that nearly dwarfs her, and the pencil also looks large in her gloved hand. She is sitting on a bench underneath a large evergreen tree that provides her shade off the busiest paths but still has occasional passersby.
That girl is Mielle Auclair, peaceful for once, and not simmering with the excess of emotion she usually feels. She's wearing a light outfit today to reflect the nice weather, a flower-patterned shirt and a flowy short-sleeved shirt with a flower chocker. Her long blond hair is hidden under her bonnet. Usually, she's very covered up to hide her doll features, but today she decided to not worry about it so much. She was taking a break from her back-to-back mage jobs. She wondered if it counted as a break if she was doing what her old job as a seamstress required to to do; design outfits. But she thinks it's okay because said outfits were for her.
Mielle sketches and thinks. Usually, she favours more traditional doll clothes, but after hearing what happened in Talaz Lagaar she wanted to be prepared to not stand out too much and was designing clothes that fit there. But... she makes a face. It was cute enough, but really not her style even before her time as a doll. Signing she rips out the drawing and puts it on the bench next to her. She continues to sketch, not noticing the breeze picking up, and her discarded drawing flying away...
