how long has it been

[losthunter]

It has been quite a few months since Hunter was last seen around the Nexus. His Starfleet studies have kept the tattooed man quite busy in that time. And with exams now out of the way, he needed to get back to a place that felt like home. To see the friends that he missed. And of course, distract himself from still being somewhat separated from his boyfriend.

Hunter sets up an artist pedestal, and places a white canvas on it.

"I have had an interesting time in the past while... learning about peacekeeping and diplomacy efforts. And having the chance to interact with other species from other worlds."

"It makes me realize the opportunity that the Nexus gives us... to learn from other worlds and cultures and species. And to give and get advice from those who visit this place."

"Who have you met that meant the most to you?" Hunter asks his question. "Also... I am accepting commissions again. So if you have someone in mind that you want a drawing off... let me know."

"The size of the canvas is good, yeah." Kinner rummages in his wallet, drawing out fifty dollars and offering them to Hunter. "We've got ourselves a deal."

Hunter pauses again, looking at the canvas. And then starts to draw. His lines are delicate and purposeful. And there is a true story to the drawing.

When he is finished, it is a portrait of Furiosa relaxed in front of a fire, leaned forward slightly as she is telling a story. In the background, Hunter has drawn some of the War Boys who are listening to her. And there is also Kinner himself, in the drawing, listening to Furiosa's story with a look of awe, respect and admiration.

"What do you think?"

The little cook sits down to watch Hunter work his magic. He's looking forward to this.

Kinner's not an artist, but he has a respect for the talent that goes into it and is struck by how good Hunter is. As Hunter's focused on the picture, Kinner is focused on watching Hunter, and he admires his skill. The expressions are clear, and he can recognize both Furiosa and himself in the picture.

"Thank you, Hunter - it's beautiful. I'll make sure Furiosa gets this."

"Here... let me just do one thing..." Hunter touches the canvas. The twisted thorn tattoo on his hand moves slightly as he concentrates. And for a brief second the canvas comes alive, with silent laughter and friendship.

"It will stay enchanted like this for a few days."

Kinner's not unfamiliar with magic in the Nexus, but this is something special. He watches the canvas with glee on his features. It's a scene he recognizes.

"Thanks, Hunter. This'll be a wonderful gift."

"I am glad I was able to help recognize your admiration."

"I suppose I'll be on my way, then. Good luck, Hunter."
