[i][b] - Leroy[/i][/b]

Raising a slight eyebrow at the guy’s transformation into a cat, though his smile never faltered, he gave the purple animal a small pat on the head before getting back to work. [i]‘A little unexpected.’[/i] Leroy thought, listening to Carmen’s solo. Considering the night’s events he would have thought she would pick a darker piece, or one that was bursting full of loud dynamics and quick notes. [i]‘The calm after a storm perhaps? Interesting.’[/i]

His smile remained on his face, but his eyes were now focused with incredible concentration as his brush danced across the white paper along with the music. Stopping only every so often to dip his brush into some water or ink, it was incredible how fast he was working. Yellow, orange, and red were his main colors. Just tints of black to accent lines to make them clear, and barely visible bubbles of blue and purple acted like little specs of light. The Carmen in his painting was playing her trumpet with a slight smile, holding her instrument up high towards the sky with streams of bright light enveloping her figure. He didn't bother with backgrounds.

A few minutes after Carmen finished her piece, Leroy finished up his painting as well. It was difficult to believe he managed to produce something of that level in such a short period of time. He could certainly do even better, but it was definitely a work of art. Of course, his own ability helped with that. In his work he decided to depict [b]‘Pride’[/b]. It was a good painting to look at if anyone needed some boost with their self-esteem, or a slight cheer-up.

First showing his finished work to the cat beside him, he waved Carmen over as he asked, “What do you think?”
