#renata the apprentice

My MC in her special sprite at the marketplace.

Some Lucio x Valerius in the secret of the night.

-There, don’t put too much pressure on the quill, let it flow over the paper... 

-Doctor, I know how to write...

-But you’re not a natural right-handed, my dear. Now, let’s copy this word...

Had a hard time doing this but I’m in love with the result. Thanks to arles-limerence post for the tutorial.

You are my sunshine, 

My only sunshine

You make me happy

Asra: How couldn’t I love him? He’s my friend, my teacher... and plus he has Faust. 

Nadia: She makes me feel like a flee, and still she’s very nice... I do hope she reaches the happiness she deserves.

Julian: That’s him. The one yelling at nothing. The man I’m gonna marry forever and ever.

Muriel: ...Still trying to win his heart. I’m sure he needs a friend too.

Portia: She and me equals Team Trouble!

Lucio: ...I’ve never liked goats but hey... at least he’s kind to Logi (Renata’s opposum) so... I’ll give him a chance.

Vulgora: ...Why? They need a tight hug... around their body... with restraints.

Volta: I cannot stop noticing how lovely she can be. 

Vlastomil: I don’t want him near me or anyone. Besides I think he’s more than happy with his... worms.

Valdemar: I can’t tell if they want to murder me or what. Their touching makes me squirm.

(Not 100% happy with the shades but as a practice, I think it works)

-Renata giving him a very necessary tour through the city, for he needs to see (and feel) the daily struggle of the citizens in the most damaged and abandoned places.

-Visiting the Rowdy Raven (Valerius obviously in disguise) and drinking some pints until one of them (probably the consul) gets too much and need to go for fresh air... and ends throwing up in the alley. You know, golden memories!

-Going to the market together to pick ingredients for dinner. Valerius doing questions the whole time and complaining for the weather and prizes until Renata faces him and says “You’re the consul, don’t you? You are the one who put this prizes”. 

-Forcing Valerius into, as we say in my country, a “baño de pueblo” (literally means “country washing” and reffers to pick someone, usually from a big city, to participate in town’s activities as one of the locals), because someone needs to check his privileges.

-Valerius actually trying to help Renata with domestic tasks. Not cleaning of course but buying supplies and doing the stocktaking sounds like a good idea for him (note: he has some problems in buying, for he’s not sure about the difference between lime and lemon or parsley and coriander).

-...Gets some burning during the cooking and of course his pride is more hurt than his arm but will accept Renata’s help. Complains the whole time until she tell him he’s acting like a baby, then he keeps in silent with this “angry” face.
