How Green Becomes Wood

"So it can inspire me in my work," Dark replied, lifting Ivy up off the ground quickly enough to make her squeal, "Right, Tifla? And if you ever draw me pictures of creatures, Baba will carve them for you and make them real."

Cooger chuckled, acting like she was asking just sooooo much of him, and then lifted up a significant portion of scrap metal to help carry it for her.
 
"If she turns out half as artistic as you, you're going to have to spread it around," Alec chuckled. He pointed to a sign. "Gift shop that way! Not even I can mess that one up."

Xander glanced at Dark and Daizi. "I wonder if getting him a girlfriend will be like getting him a guide person."

Lex made no secret of admiring his strength, playing it up comically for effect. She gathered what was left and followed Cooger, grinning and honestly enjoying the sight of him helping her out. The muscles were nice, too.
 
"Will you be artistic?" Dark asked Ivy sweetly, pausing his stride so he could look her in the eyes, "What do you think, Tifla?"

"It'd be very rebellious of her not to be, given this family," Daizi chuckled.

~~

Cooger absolutely knew she was playing things up a bit, but it was still flattering and made him feel good about himself. It was no harm to flex a little bit in response!
 
"Is that true?" Dark asked his daughter, "Will you be incredibly artistic?"

Ivy just grinned at him, and reaching out, stole his Sad Dad hat right off of his head and put it on herself. Naturally, the hat dropped right down and covered the entire top half of her head.

"Oh no," Dark replied, and although his expression hardly changed at all, he felt certain he was doing an excellent job at looking utterly shocked, "You stole my hat, you are a thief, not an artist!"
