Drawing...

[Sweetcherrie]

“Does anybody in here want to play?” nobody replied to Sweet’s questions so she bounced in and looked around. The recruiter’s office actually looked a bit dull, and the child wondered if Wyvern had been using Almost Dragonic Shineaway Polish on the furniture. She had never been in here before, but it looked as if people actually worked here. Wondering where Wyvern himself was at the moment she decided that he probably wouldn’t mind her looking around for a bit. Sweet sniffed around a bit, and hop-skipped to the desk. It was covered in papers, and some of them looked pretty important. She settled herself down in the lizard’s chair, glanced over the papers, and suddenly a brilliant idea popped into her head. She would make a drawing for him. There would be money and shinies in the picture, and she would draw herself giving it to the almost dragon. Yeah, that’s what she would do. He always liked shinies, and so he would probably also like a drawing of shinies. Rumbling through the clutter she found a paper that was almost empty and that he surely wouldn’t need anymore. It had a circle on it that looked like the world, and she turned it upside down so she could draw on the back. “Shame I don’t have my pens,” she mumbled, but as she though it she saw the inkpad. Sweet pulled it towards her, and carefully opened it. The ink was shining wet and after wriggling her fingers she stuck one in the inkpad. It felt funnily wet but, when she placed it on the paper, it looked really good. She entertained herself for a while with drawing figures on the paper with her fingers, but it soon got boring. She got up and accidentally touched the chair with her inky hands, leaving some very nice prints on it. With a frown she looked at it for a moment and then decided that only a few prints didn’t look good. She stuck her hands back on the inkpad and made neat hand- and fingerprints all over the chair. Stepping back she admired her own work, and thought that it definitely looked good. Now what else could she do with her drawing? She opened some drawers and in the first ones she only discovered mess and more mess, but in the last one she found a stamp. Sweet decided that the chair and the drawing would look even better if it had real stamps on it as well, and got back to work again.

 

Half an hour later she was finally finished. She glanced around and concluded with a smile that it looked super cool. The drawing of the horse on the wall was definitely one of her best drawings so far, and she was feeling very satisfied with the result. Absentmindedly she wiped her hands on her shirt and looked at the stamp in her hand. It had been fun to play with it, and it had been aaaall the way in the bottom drawer. Wyvern probably never used it, so he almost certainly wouldn’t miss it. She stuck the stamp in her pocket leaving a shining wet “ACCEPTED” on her dungarees. She threw one last look at the drawings and hop-skipped out of the office to find some people to show her art to.
