'Pluto loves it here, he's on the grounds all the time.' she smiled fondly. 'Sorry, what's your cat's name, again? I can't seem to remember...'
Ari looked through the folder, admiring Gwen's drawings. 'Wow, these are really good! You ARE talented!' she exclaimed. When Gwen announced she could draw her a portrait, Ariadne felt very proud and happy. 'I would love to!' she smiled.
Great. Exactley what I hoped she wouldn't ask. The cat's name.
'Well,I named my cat.....', she begann saying and then caughed, just to gain a little bit more time.
Think, Gwendolyn, THINK!, she told herself but no good names of pets came into her head.
Ok, change he subject! Quick! 'Er...why don't you sit there for the...portrait!', she said.
'I'm gonna start drwing...just don't get too enthusiastic, I don't guarantee it will come out right'. Great, she had such a talent in making the good mood go away...
She started with some basic lines,
But, having noticed that Ari was looking puzzled at her drawing she started covering it with her left hand. Truth was, the portrait was only a mixture of lines so far... It looked bad because it was still bald. Despite the fact that Gwen usually added the hair in the end, she started working on it right now. She didn't want Ari to think it won't come out nicely.
She hated when people where checking out her drawings when they weren't done. She still had a lot to do to it,and Ari was expecting it to remain like this.
No way! Gwen had o distract Ari so that she won't stare at the drawing untill it would be finished.
'So, what's new with you?', Gwen asked her friend.
