a little something... no real plot, just thinking about Da'an.
**********
The holographic plate bloomed into an array of colors, blue and purple
predominating. As the pale hand waved by it, a thin streak of yellow ran
through the blue, then melted to a faint thread.
Da'an allowed himself a satisfied half-smile as the "painting" formed and reformed itself under his hands, the artificial blossoms he had created changing themselves until they resembled the blue irises on the table, nodding at their own reflection.
It has been a long time since I have so immersed myself in art, he mused.
In it, there was escape. He thought that he had some talent for detail, but the paintings were a secret hobby. Another tiny smile touched his lips as he added a leaf to one of the stems.
There were no demands, no insistance at this time. He could leave every worry behind him and simply create the picture. It sounded strange, but he felt as if each painting were alive, as if it had a soul...
A stem spiralled up into the blossom, and the iris seemed to shimmer. Then it solidified.
Da'an smiled and quickly saved the picture, then set the plate down. He reached over to the vase and held an iris between his fingertips.
