Not even a little, I'm afraid.

Wanna learn?

Me?

I'm afraid I'm not the most artistically minded. As you have . . . already noticed.

I think everyone is artistic in their own way.

Bet you'd still like the game I taught Delta.

What game is that?

[Wrath props the digital frame over both their laps. She takes the stylus and draws a little stick figure person.] So once upon a time, there was an awesome guy named Charles. And he lived...

[She hands Charles the stylus. His turn.]

[ He taps it to his chin before drawing a brown house. ]

In a chocolate house. There he had . . .

Ooh! A puppy made out of sprinkles!

[Multicolored dog ahoy.]

And there was...

[ A pause, before he sketches. His drawing skills are not actually awful, due to the fact that diagrams were a heavy part of his studies. ]

A girl named Wrath. She brought rainbows wherever she went. And then . . .

[Awww, cute! She grins and bumps Charles's shoulder lightly with her own once he's done sketching.]

They decided to take a walk on the moon! [She adds a moon-like landscape.]

You realize now I'm thinking of the logistics of breathing on the moon.

[ He adds some helmets. ]

You're very practical, Charles. I think there should be jet packs, too.

[Adding those in.]

Why jet packs?

The question you really need to ask yourself is "why not jetpacks?"

I can't say I have a great fondness for them.

What did jetpacks do to you?

Erik likes to fly. I'm not a fan.

[Wrath regards their little picture, then backs it up to remove the jetpacks.]

So they had... hoverboards.

[Like skateboards, but floaty. She adds those. They don't go that high. And are still fun. Pleased with herself, she also adds a little cartoon of Erik in his #1 Baker hat flying around with a jetpack in the distance.]

Hm? No. I don't know what that is. Erik can use his powers to fly. Quite dramatically, I might add.

Hoverboards are like. Um... boards? That you stand on. And they hover just a little off the ground, so you're not really flying. And then you like... zoom around on them. And you can do tricks if you want to, but you don't have to. [Charles, you really need to address this kind of old man stick in the mud streak of yours. Such a Responsible Adult.]

[Dreamy sigh.] That's so cool, though. I wish I could fly.

Sort of like my chair.

[ He nods. ]

It's impressive, but not something I'd like to do regularly.

Yeah! Just like it.

[Wrath grins.] Well, next time he wants to fly you around, tell him to take me instead. [It's the only practical solution.

Insert mental image here of Erik dropping Wrath on a group of miscreants like some sort of small, pink, grinning bomb.]

[ He snorts lightly. ]

The chances of me convincing him to do that are very low.

[She hands Charles back the stylus for the frame.

Sigh.] Some day Erik will think I'm cool. Or okay. [Probably not. But you know. Gotta have goals.]

[ He blinks. ]

Give it time. He's not very good with enthusiasm.

[ Or being liked, but that's not for Charles to say. ]
