2 days to go! So, we're back to lighter stuff after yesterday's venture into the heart of madness, and the weather, frigid though it is, is bright and sunny to match! Weird….
I'd like to thank zagara for the lovely reviews, as usual! You're wonderful, my friend!
Disclaimer: I can't spell. I also don't own AKT. Ha! Thought I was done with weird disclaimers, didn't ya?
The pallid winter sunlight glinted brilliantly off of the delicate icicles that hung like frozen larmes from the glass-like branches of the trees, making them gleam like pure diamant. Droplets of water ran slowly down the scintillating crystal ice, melting in the meager warmth afforded by the blinding sunlight du jour glacé.
The stick of charcoal that Christiana clutched swept quickly and deftly over the cracked pages of the parchment cahier that the écrivain had made for her, shading curves, edges, and drops with a delicate wash of gray. The bright gleams and deep shadows of the stalactites de glace grew still and proud before her eyes as she sketched, capturing the beautiful winter's tears pour éternité.
It's Christiana! I really think I've been neglecting her, as she's really the only one who hasn't gotten her own chapter. Thus, her skill with a needle gave way to skill with a pencil.
