So... no one has posted a picture in awhile so I guess I'll fire things up again.
Ha ha Thank you! It feels good to have time to sit down a write again. Though Mom and I plan on visiting family in a couple weeks so we'll see how long it lasts. >.< At the very least I'll have a more regular schedule again in August.
I'll tell ya what, though, moving and traveling is exhausting! lol

“Of course, whatever you need.” Sky watched Nathan attempt to work, her hand still rubbing Simon’s back absentmindedly. She hadn't known the doctor very long but it was difficult to watch him like this. Frowning slightly, the young assistant wondered why Mrs. Burnoise had felt the need to interfere. Even if Sky had been aware of her plans, what did she expect to have been done in just a week? Nathan was who he was and that was unlikely to change. Besides, he wasn't so bad… was he? Pausing for a moment to imagine seeing the scientist out of the lab, in public with normal people, she suddenly doubted her judgment. Well… No. She’s his mother. If anyone, she should love and accept him.
Simon began to pull back slightly, redirecting Skylar’s focus. She looked at him and smiled softly, despite his runny nose. She watched him use his sleeve and felt her brow twitch. She gently picked him up and began walking over to the desks where they could sit more comfortably and have access to two boxes of tissues.
“I… It’s a bit complicated, Simon.” She sat the boy down in one of the office chairs and grabbed a tissue. She held it to his nose and waited for him to blow as she continued, “We’re not exactly having a fight but your grandfather’s feelings have been hurt. You see, he thinks I lied to him and I don’t really have a way to prove that I didn't. He just needs some time to think things over and decide if he wants to trust me or not. But I don’t want you to worry about it, okay? This is just a bunch of boring old adult stuff and I promise everything will be alright. Okay?” She gave the sweet young boy the most reassuring smile she could and gently bopped his nose with her finger.
“So. What would Mr. Simon like to do while grandpa works?”

Lilith couldn't help but smile at the compliment, whether it was genuine or not. She knew she was unique; she reveled in it. It only pleased her more to know that not just anyone could do the things Aleks was asking of her. The way she saw it, he needed her and the thought practically made her purr. Not surprisingly, however, the sentiment didn't last. While her companion carefully tended to his tea, the fox spirit was left with little else to do but watch him. She had already asked him a question so there wasn't much she could say and there wasn't much tea left in her cup so she didn't want to down it all while waiting for him. Eventually, she let out a discontented sigh as she side glanced at the clock on the wall. I asked you a question, you prick. Or did you forget because some old hag tried to charm you? You really are as dumb as you look, aren't you? Suddenly, she saw the glint in Aleks’ eye and she knew. As usual, the young man was teasing her. He wasn't stupid at all. He was doing this precisely to annoy her and she had just walked right into his trap. She tightened her jaw to hold back a growl and took a sip of her tea instead. Insufferable bastard… I’ll put you back in your place once we’re alone. You can’t just mock me like this. She felt her gaze narrowing as she glared at him over her cup and she immediately corrected it. Thankfully, he responded soon after.
Going along with the act, Lilith acted delighted at the sound of a surprise, “A surprise, Aleks? You know you didn't have to do that for me.” Leaning forward a bit as If eager, she was about to ask if she were getting the surprise tonight when he asked about the briefcase. Sitting back, she pouted and for a moment, she wondered if she had been mistaken about what he had told her to do with it. Quickly, she tried to think of a coded reply that was as close to the truth as possible. It made the lie so much easier to keep track of.
“Oh I..” She paused for a moment, looking down as if embarrassed, her hands pulled close in her lap. “I wasn't sure when I was going to see you next. I left it with… Oh I don’t remember his name, one of your friends that ate with us. The big guy?” She stopped for a moment as if waiting for him to provide the name, but continued before Aleks could say anything, “Anyway, he thought he might see you sooner than I would so he offered to get it to you. I guess he still has it… Is that okay?” She looked at him sheepishly through her lashes, keeping up the façade but also genuinely asking Aleks if she had made a mistake.
Almost imperceptibly, the gray haired woman stirred in her seat. Her warm brown eyes were glued to the couple, completely enthralled. It was like a soap opera unfolding before her very eyes. The mysterious woman from out of town, the handsome bachelor, the forgotten briefcase. What was in said briefcase? Was it left in the hands of a reliable man? Was the handsome young man going to be angry? She half expected another man to bust in and try to steal the raven haired woman away, making claims of abuse. Oh just the thought made her giddy. There was rarely any excitement in her hotel and this rendezvous seemed like just the event to change that. Resting her chin on her palms, she waited to see what happened next.

I do my best. ^_^ I'm glad you like it.
Drawing guys is similar but different. And that's precisely what I struggle with. I don't know what exactly those fine differences are so I don't know what to tweek to make it look like a guy. I mean, I know the torso differences but the face... it's freaking hard. And even the body I'm not that great at drawing guys with muscle. They're always pretty lanky and vaguely feminine or androgynous. :/

“Doctor… Nathan, you have to believe me. I had no idea what your mother was planning.” Sky was desperately trying to find something to say that could possibly convince him when Simon ran out and latched onto her leg. Sighing softly, the young woman pulled him off and knelt down so she could hug him. Holding him close, she rubbed his back gently and cooed comforting words into his ear, “Shhh, you don’t need to be afraid. It’s okay. She’s gone now.” She felt her shoulder growing wet with tears and other fluids she’d rather not think about and hugged the boy a bit tighter. She wanted to tell Simon that Mrs. Burnoise wasn't a bad woman and that he didn't need to be afraid of her but the woman’s ulterior motives had caught Sky off guard as much as Nathan and she was no longer sure what to think.
Speaking of which, Miss Donahue looked over at the young doctor, her eyes full of sympathy and concern. She still wasn't sure how to make him believe her and she worried he might not give her a chance. If Nathan fired her and kicked her out of the lab, she’d never find another opportunity like this. Sure, the esteemed doctor was a bit odd but he was also quite brilliant and he had the most amazing lab she’d ever seen. Skylar still didn't know what most of these machines were for but after what she had seen today, she felt certain at least half of them did things you wouldn't think was possible. Besides, on a more trivial note, she couldn't stand the thought of someone thinking so poorly of her. Even if she never saw Nathan again, it would bother her to know he thought she was a manipulative traitor, especially since she had done nothing wrong. Cautiously, she called out to him, “…Doctor? Is there anything at all I can do that would make you believe me?”

There are lots of things wrong with it, but you wanted a colored picture so here you go. Now I just need to get better at drawing guys and maybe one day I'll actually have an acceptable picture of Aleks. -_-
Lilith took another sip of tea, letting the flavor sit on her tongue before swallowing. It was obviously a black tea but she wasn't sure what kind. There were hints of lavender and honey, which softened the taste and made the fox spirit wonder if it was a homemade mixture. She contemplated asking but at that moment, Aleks walked in. The china clinked softly as she set the cup back on its saucer and she smiled softly as their eyes met. He looked as close to flawless as she’d ever seen a man but for some reason this bothered her. She didn't like that he was always so perfectly poised, seemingly unaffected and perfectly prepared for everything that came his way. It felt as if his very existence mocked her. He was a human and a young one at that; he had no right to be so impeccable. Even worse, Aleks seemed to know exactly what to do or say to irritate her. As if to prove her point, he called her his lily, the possessive term of endearment causing her jaw to tighten though she refused to let her smile fall. Even his timing was perfect. It sickened her.
“You were hardly late, no need to apologize.” Lilith glanced at the older woman as Aleks sat down and found the receptionist staring at them. Better get out of here soon, no doubt that old bat is going to be eavesdropping as long as we’re here. Looking back at Aleks, she stared at him in silence for a moment before responding, “I’m sure by now you've realized I’m not like other women. I rather enjoyed myself. And what about you? Was today everything you hoped it would be?” The dark haired kumiho took another drink of her tea as she awaited his response. She doubted he’d give any real sign of appreciation or approval and she was certain he wouldn't tell her any meaningful information about what he had done that day but it couldn't hurt to ask. He had to slip up eventually and maybe if she was lucky, it would be today.
Or at least, a fox could hope.
Finding an excuse to get a better look at the pair, the silver haired woman waddled up to hand Aleks a cup of tea. She smiled warmly and patted his shoulder gently, “Such a handsome young man. Have this, free of charge. If you two need anything else, anything at all, don’t be afraid to ask.” She nodded her head and waddled back to her counter, smiling once more and winking when Aleks looked in her direction.

Life is happening again. lol Trying to organize 2 birthday parties and a trip back home. Plus dentist and doctors appointment next week, I'm not sure when I'll be posting. I'm trying to work on one now so I hope I'll have it up today, but I'm pretty tired and a little unfocused, so no promises.
Hey, I told you from the get-go that you were a better person/ friend. No need to rub it in my face. T-T
Also, where;s my male K-pop list? :P
