[Someone is using their notebook as a sketchpad. It takes them about half an hour to finish; a blanket, draped over the corner of one of the dorm beds.]

[Edit: A few hours after the initial drawing, color starts bleeding onto the page. Those who know art will note it's watercolor paint. Blues and oranges fill the blanket in, making it look warm and comfortable.]

You may want to use a different notebook.

I don't have one.

I have a few extra, I can give you one sometime.

I can pay for it.

We can negotiate it at some point later.

You're good, though.

Nice drawing. Are you an artist?

Yes.

thank you

That's a lovely drawing.

Why a blanket?

It was a gift.

That was kind of them.

Yes. It's very warm.

Good. You should keep it with you, especially if you want to sleep somewhere else. The dorms don't suit everyone.

We're allowed to sleep elsewhere?

Yes. Just be careful.

A good sketch.

You must have done it for a while to be that good!

What's your name?

I'm the one in dorm 20 with the blanket.

thank you

[a few hours later, more writing appears under the first]

Someone left some art things in my trunk. I don't need your notebook any more.

Nice of them. I had to buy mine.

[A small splotch of blue watercolor mars the area underneath before the reply comes.]

I'm very grateful.

Paint shows at this end.

[Hey, if you're going to witness someone's experiment anyway...]

[Above, the blanket is being filled in with blues and oranges in careful strokes.]

They're very nice paints.

I wouldn't know. I've never painted.

[So far it's mostly been sketches. And landscapes, at that.]

I used to use oil paints a lot. They're very different to work with. it's good to try different mediums.

Do you draw anything other than blankets?

Yes. I can draw all sorts of things. Pillows as well.

Pillows are still very similar to blankets.

They're a very different shape.

They are essentially just blankets filled with stuffing.

What about trousers?

Hmm... alright.

[Guess he isn't the talkative type.]

I'm in dorm 23. Not that far from you, actually! Do you want to hang out sometime? You seem interesting.

[The least talkative type.]

No, nothing like that. I mean just spending time with one another? Something like that.

Oh.

Yes, okay.

I have kitchen duty today, but outside that time I'm free.

[Thought he can't understand why someone thinks he's interesting.]

Where do you want to meet up? Anywhere is fine with me.
