Oh, it's...

They're clothing designs, actually. Not leaving paper here, but Susan gave me the idea to take up a hobby, spend my time more productively. Hang on, this one isn't very good--

[She flips back in the sketchbook to a few pages earlier and stops when she can show a black and white somewhat Victorian-aesthetic dress modeled off of the kanji for Kaoru's given name. There are a few different designs for a circlet based off of the top bars (it's not that good an idea, is it), while the high-collared body of the dress came more easily and the hem was really a no-brainer with the bottom four dashes as a guideline.] I had you in mind here but I'm not sure where to go with the colors yet.

[Kaoru leans over to watch her page through the sketchbook, blinking at the design with some amount of surprise.]

My, you did? It looks lovely... [a little complex, since even 20s dresses are kind of over Kaoru's head...! but the aesthetics are appreciated, at least. after a few more seconds of admiring:]

You are quite talented with your designs. I wish that I could lend you aid with the colors, but I fear I do not have the taste required for something like that.

You really think so? Thanks... [It's been such a long time since she's shown someone her work and gotten an appreciative response. She'd forgotten how good it could feel.]

Oh well. Coloring supplies are a little more scarce in this manor anyway, it's probably for the best to have more time to think about them.

[souredsweet]

You are very welcome. I hope that you would not mind sharing more of your work in the future, if I may be bold enough to ask? Such designs are unfamiliar to me, but I enjoy the look of them. [not being particularly talented in the arts, Kaoru has an appreciation for those who are.]

Are they? I haven't noticed... That has to be quite the inconvenience.

[speakveryclearly]

It's only recently that I've tried my prong at this at all so maybe someone else has just taken them for the time being... [She shakes her head a bit. Part of her had expected Annie to come up and ask to borrow her pen.]

I'll show you anything else I make, though, if you really do like it. There are enough pages in this sketchpad to make a reasonable defense against any need for decentralization...

[souredsweet]

It may be so... Mr. Poland found a colored marker for the board earlier, I believe. [but Kaoru had reasonably not been paying much attention to said notice, since there were quite a few more pressing matters to deal with that trial.

but that gets a smile.] I do enjoy it and I would very much appreciate being allowed to see more. Thank you, Miss Maryam.
