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 two Martians watch in impressed awe as Hunter works, as interested in the process of making art as the art itself. This will be an interesting bit of information to send back to Mars - how art is made. For once Blue and Pink are quiet as they appreciate the artist's talent.

When he is done with the artwork, Hunter hands the canvas to the two martians. "Here you are. For you."

[yipyipmartians]

"Ooh." The Martians happily accept the piece, brushing it with felty tentacles. "Thank you, Hunter. Uh-huh. Yip yip yip."

"Did you want to try to draw your own creation?" Hunter asks.

[yipyipmartians]

"Uh-huh. Uh-huh." Blue and Pink both quiver in excitement at the offer. "Yip yip yip. Please. Teach us."

Hunter puts up another blank canvas. And holds out a pencil crayon for each of them.

"Just follow your heart. Draw whatever you want."

[yipyipmartians]

"Thank you, Hunter!" The Martians accept the crayon and start drawing their pictures.

In a few minutes, it's easy to see what they're doing. Blue is working on a picture of Pink, while Pink is working on a picture of Blue.

Hunter just sits back and lets them draw to their heart's content.

When they finish, the little aliens float back to show Hunter their artwork.

"Yip yip yip yip! Done! Uh-huh."
