Class is dismissed but Cho continues working, adding finishing touches to her piece, so engrossed that she doesn't notice the figure standing besides her.
"You're really good!" the voice marvels and Cho startles.
"Oh, t-thank you," she blushes. "I had a beautiful model."
"You're too kind," Fleur laughs, tilting her head and admiring the portrait in front of her. "Is this how I really look?" she asks taking in the cascading waves that frame her face and beautiful doe eyes that crinkle with her smile. She looks beautiful, real and happy.
"Oh, do you not like it?" Cho is concerned.
"It's lovely. The students here are good and their paintings are nice. But this is..." she trails off blushing.
Cho smiles shyly and the girls stare at each other for a beat. "Do you mind waiting so I can finish it?" Cho requests just as Fleur asks if she can buy her a bubble tea.
Both girls giggle and Fleur says, "Let's go. I'll buy the boba and you can complete the sketch. I might even make you a little something myself. I'm quite skilled at origami, if I do say so myself."
Cho's face lights up. "Lead the way!"
