First, I should point out that Seiko is hearing from Eric again. He was the blond fellow hitting on her at the Halloween party. (And if she hadn't been doing damage control with Mike, it might have gone somewhere.) Also, here is a mini-flashback from the Verona trio's childhood. They are behaving typically: Violet self-centered, Kaida discouraging, and Tristan hopelessly determined. Everyone gives Tristan a rough time, and his track record as a cat burglar sucks, but give him credit; the boy had skills.

Gael, my sister, and I each have a stuffed panda from when we were very young. In fact, mine was my first toy. So, that's why I used a panda here. They evoke sentiment for me, and Seiko needs meaningful possessions, since she owns so little.

I used oil paints for the first time ever… I chose Mike as my subject, mostly because the paint I bought didn't include black. It, um, looks like a first try. lol But, eh, gotta start somewhere. I can get a better picture after it dries, but if you want to see it, click the thumbnail.



Peipei: Toyo is funny. He calls Kaida old and scrawny. lol Yuki will be going on her fake date once they look at all their gifts. :-)
