[ Guess what, train. If you happen to look at the ICPs, you're greeted by not one, but two cute kid faces. Both of which are smiling. ]

Um.. hi, everyone! [ Okay, maybe smiling slightly shyly, in Madoka's case. It's a lot to realise the whole train can hear you talk.. ]

I know some things have.. um.. maybe been a bit rough lately. But that's why we wanted to do something fun that anyone could join in on! Near the end of the month, on the 27th, we're planning on holding a fun art day! You don't have to bring anything, since we already took care of everything..

[Romeo's grin is a lot more confident though he thinks Madoka is doing great talking to everyone like this!] Yeah we bought lotsa art stuff already, we got paper and pens and paint and glitter and even paint with glitter in it already!!!

[Isn't that the most exciting thing?]

We can do whatever type of art you like, painting, drawing, even paper folding because that's fun too. Everyone is welcome! [Big grin before he remembers something.] Oh yes! It will be in the garden carriage!

[ Madoka nods once Romeo is done talking. ]

Y-Y-Yes, it's going to be a lot of fun, so please make sure to be there that day if you'd like to join in! And, um, I guess if someone still has questions, they can ask us now..

(ooc: expect responses from both madoka and romeo!)

[Action - in person - much later at the end of the week]

[And everything changed so fast. Nearing the end of the week Hua Cheng decides to deliver this in person to both of the children. His beloved Xie Lian gone home, so he must do something for the friends he made on the train before he himself will willed himself to go. As much he is tethered to the train, but in his heart and mind, he tethered to Xie Lian and so is his will.

Once he finds the children, both Madoka and Romeo. He smiles as he usually does. He will miss them both fondly, but home is where Xie Lian is]

Hello, you two. Here, this is for you. It's a gift. I paint this for you to keep.

[The children will find it's a painting of the black and white pandas eating green bamboo. It is drawn in a classic Chinese-style tradition. It's his gift to them]

[myblueskies]

[He finds them deep in planning for their art party but Romeo looks up as he sees Hua Cheng approaching them.][He takes the painting when it is held out and his mouth opens in amazement.]

Wow!

[He holds it out to Madoka, so she can look too.]

[happyends]

[ Madoka lets out a curious 'hm?' before moving over to look at it too.

It's been a long, long time since she's seen anything drawn in this sort of style - not to mention that there's cute pandas! - so she looks pretty impressed by the whole thing too. ]

Wow, it's really pretty.. Thank you so much for doing this for us, sir!

[ She'll even politely bow! She has to show her gratitude for something this amazing. ]

[crimson_rain]

[They're good kids. While he won't remember them upon returning home, returning home to dianxia, and back to rule his kingdom in Ghost City but the painting shall be a token of their friendship. He hopes it stays with them.

With a smile, a genuine one]

You're welcome. Find a frame for your painting, so you can hang it up on the wall.

[It's rare for a Ghost King to bow to anyone...but he bows back to the both of them]

[myblueskies]

[Romeo bowed as well and grinned.] A frame? We could buy a frame Madoka! Or do you know how to make one?

[happyends]

Um.. We could see if any of our crafts books have anything about frames in them..

[ There's so much in them that Madoka doesn't know by memory whether there's something about frames! But regardless of whether they make the frame or buy it, Madoka agrees that they should definitely make sure a piece of art this nice has a nice frame too. ]

ANd we'll need to find a nice place to put it up! Somewhere people can enjoy it!

[crimson_rain]

[He gives them both an easy smile]

I'm sure whatever frames you find, it will be a nice frame. I wouldn't mind if you two hang it up for all to see.

[He is glad he left something behind for them to remember the friendship. The painting is in good hands]

[myblueskies]

I bet they do! We could make some frames and then we can hang it somewhere so everyone can enjoy it!

[Because it was so pretty! He was sure everyone would appreciate it!]
