He watched the rabbit go with a faint smile, running a hand through his hair. "Aww." He commented with a smile. "Tha's adorable "

“Cute thing. Hopefully it doesn’t get eaten anytime soon.” Wilhelm agreed, nodding his head along.

He sneezed, and nodded. "Mm. Although if 't is, we would nae know anyways." He shrugged.

“Well, we might hear it if it happens soon.” Wilhelm shrugged, curling a lock of hair around his fingers. “But I doubt that it will, foxes aren’t one to stick around people.”

He nodded again. "True." he sneezed again, and shook his head, running his fingers through his hair.

Wilhelm let out a happy sigh, despite their conversation topic. He sat down all the way, looking at all the plants as if he were trying to mentally name all of them. “I know it’s not the best weather, but I can’t help but fall deeper and deeper in love with this place every time I see it.”

He smiled a little. "Yeah. Ah can see why. It's gorgeous." He replied, looking at the pond.

“I wish I could just-“ Wilhelm clapped his hands together for effect. “-capture this moment, and keep it with me forever.”

He smiled. "I could sketch 't, but ah dinnae have my sketchbook with me."

“If you’re wanting to draw, I have my own notebook with me. It’s smaller, but I keep my own little drawings in there.” Wilhelm offered, hoping that it wouldn’t sound like he was asking Connor to draw.

Connor shrugged. "If ya want me to, ah will. Otherwise ah can reproduce it from memory later."

“Then do whatever you’d like, really.” Wilhelm smiled halfway, pulling out his notepad and flipping to an empty space. Wilhelm crammed things together, notes written in messy German combined with rough sketches of the plants in question.

He smiled a little, taking the notebook and starting to sketch, pencil moving across the paper.

He looked around, only sometimes glancing at Connor’s drawing. He still liked watching him work, sure, but there was too much around him to only be focused on one thing at once.

(gtg soon, sorry)

Connor drew the pond, the plants, then sketched Wilhelm into the drawing, a faint smile on his face.

(mk, gn!)

Wilhelm hummed quietly. He adjusted his appearance often, though whether or not it was a conscious decision was unclear.

He continued to work, sketching carefully.

Wilhelm studied one of the plants close to him, one he didn’t recognize too well. He held the leaves in his fingers, trying to at least relate it to something that he was familiar with.

He kept sketching, humming as he worked. He sat down on the wet ground, balancing the sketchbook in his lap.

“Hey- not to interrupt your work, but do you recognize this? Because I don’t, and it’s killing me.” Wilhelm frowned, turning the leaf over in his fingers and inspecting the underside.

He looked up. "Hm? Oh. No, sorry." he went back to sketching.

“..Ah. I’ll have to bring a book out here and see if I can match it up, I guess.” Wilhelm frowned, still trying to deduce it himself.

He nodded. He finished sketching. "Done." he said, holding it up to Wilhelm.

“Oh, wow. How is it that I’m still mesmerized by your work every time I see it?” Wilhelm said softly, looking between Connor and the sketch.

Connor blushed a little, smiling. "Thank you."

(gtg again. might be back idk)

(no issues, thanks for letting me know!)

Wilhelm nodded. “I’m just telling the truth, you know.”

He nodded a little bit, looking at the plant again. "YEah."

“How do you think your classes are going so far? Report cards should come out soon.” Wilhelm tried to steer the conversation in a different direction, albeit clumsily.

He blinked, and shrugged. "Ah have no idea. Ah hope ah'm doin' well, bu'…" he shrugged, laughing.

“I understand. From the way my grades have been going, I’m not too sure about myself, honestly.” Wilhelm admitted, tittering a bit.
