Outfit:Clothes and Jacket
Painting
Coming out of her studio, her hands and shirt covered in splatters of oil paint, Rin sighed but smiled. After crossing and exiting her bedroom Rin let her gaze sweep over her living room before crossing it as well to go into the kitchen. Turning on the faucet Rin scrubbed her hands clean, watching the colored suds swirl down the drain, deep in thought. She had gotten back into town the day before after a job capturing some bandits. While usually she would have gone straight to the guildhall to turn in her cut and get a new job, the scenery in the small town had been beautiful and she had needed to get it onto canvas. Of course, like always, this meant she hadn’t left her studio except to eat when Zoe made her. “Maya why haven’t you gone to the guild yet?”
Jumping Rin turned to see Zoe standing behind her and shook her head with a small smile. ’Speak of the devil…’ After looking pointedly at her paint covered clothes Rin smiled. “You know exactly why. I just finished it by the way.” Zoe looked at Rin expectantly as she grabbed a dry hand towel and tossed it to Rin. "I know you spend all night on that so at least let me see it." Rin giggled, nodded, and caught the towel before turning and leading Kiku out of the living room and through her bedroom. She had chosen her apartment specifically because of the studio room, especially since it was hidden in the back of the apartment, only accessible through her bedroom. Opening the door to the room a strong smell of paint filled the air and Rin walked forward, waving her hand towards her easel which held a still drying painting. Zoe gasped in delight and grasped Rin's arm tightly. After an approving nod from Rin, Zoe grabbed it and started her ‘observations’ which was pretty much her talking about everything she liked about the painting. Despite her best attempts Rin couldn’t help but smile at Zoe’s praise but at the flattery continued Rin ended up rolling her eyes. 'She's over-doing it as usua- Rin didn't realize Zoe had seen her eye roll until the older omans hand connected with the back of her head. "Ow! Zoe!" "Well? Don't you sass me!" Not wanting to get into a fight Rin waited silently until Zoe set the painting down and walked out of her studio.
Locking the door behind them Rin sighed and went to get a change of clothes. "I have to go turn in my cut... I'll talk to you when I get back after I pick a job." Zoe immediately began to protest and, as Rin was taking off her paint-spattered clothes, she started rummaging through Rin's wardrobe. "But Rin we just got back. Why can't we stay for a few days? I mean, you've been in Storm Shield for almost 6 months and you haven't talk to any of your guild mates for more than five minutes." Rin turned to Zoe with a frown and a warning glint in her eyes, taking the burgundy skirt Zoe held out without paying much attention to it as she pulled it on. "And that's how it'll stay. You promised you wouldn't do this Zoe." The red haired celestial spirit stared at her in dismay and determination, shoving a black shirt into her hands. "If that's what you really wanted than why have you spent so much time learning about them? Admit it. You've grown fond of them." Rin turned halfway through Zoe's response, finished zipping up the back of the shirt, and stormed through her room, grabbing the bag of jewel off of her the table as she went past the kitchen on the way towards the door. "This conversation is over!" Zoe followed after Rin, watching the girl pull on her boots. "Maya..." Rin yanked her jacket on and then shot a cold look at Zoe. "Good-bye. I'll be back later." For a moment Rin hesitated at the door, instantly wondering is she had been too harsh, but as Zoe reached out for her she stepped away and slam the door shut behind her. About two minutes into her walk Rin looked down at herself and swore, realizing that she had once again been tricked into letting Zoe dress her. Shaking her head Rin knew for a fact that the other woman was giggling in triumph at home.
Ten minutes later, Rin arrived at guild hall with the guild's cut and stepped up to the open door with her eyes narrowed, her face otherwise expressionless. As soon as she stepped through the doorway Rin's gaze quickly scanned the room only to notice a group of her guildmates completely stop talking at the sight of her. Instinctively, Rin's eyes narrowed further and she stared down the group until they looked away and started a whispered conversation. Her eyes continued their sweep of the room, briefly resting on Okita and Oliver, before landing on Guild Master Roran and Zayne who were both by the jobs board. Rin shot a pointed glare at another group who was staring at her before walking across the guild hall towards Roran and Zayne. 'What the hell is their problem...' She thought to herself, oblivious to the fact that she had a smear of blue paint on her cheek. Not wanting to interrupt the guild master Rin stopped a few paces away but didn't wait long before Zayne ran off. Stepping up to Guild Master Roran Rin cleared her throat. Removing it from her purse Rin held out the bag of jewel, her gaze briefly looking over the job board before focusing on the blond wizard saint beside her. "Sorry I didn't bring it in the day I got back. I was... preoccupied." While Rin didn't tell any of her guildmates about her hobbies many knew about her painting partly from the smell of her paints often lingering around her and mostly due to her tendency to not check if she had paint on her much like today.
