Ayumu rolled her eyes at Kyou's silent comment, he was the one trying to show the other two siblings in the first place. Though she was a little surprised to hear Kaito be the one to comment before Yuki. She honestly didn't expect him to even be paying attention to the pictures of her paintings The Ookami was holding.
A blush rose on the older twin's cheeks, being a little embarrassed seeing as though these were the first people to really get a glance at her paintings(aside from West, of course). She smiled sheepishly, moving her finger away from her lip so her words wouldn't be muffled. "Th-thank you..."

Kaito smiled. Grant it, it was small and barely noticeable, but for a moment Yukiko thought she felt her heart stop. Was this really happening? Was her brother showing... emotions? Surely such a thing was impossible, blasphemous even! The Ookami snuck a glance over at her companion, but he noticed her snared and gave her a sudden half-hearted glare. Kaito then ignored his sister and turned back to Ayumu.
"What you do with your art is up to you, but it'd be a shame for all that talent to go to waste."

Ayumu could feel her blush darken a little at the next compliment. "Y-yeah... West's been trying to get me to show 'em for a while..." her voice was a little more muttered this time, still too timid to really speak all that clearly. She looked over at her brother for help so she didn't end up getting too dizzy.

Kyou smiled and hugged his sister, wrapping his arms around her shoulders from behind. He wasn't trying to be a nuisance, but East looked like she needed a hug to him. And this way she could still talk with Kaito and Yuki without having to duck around him. Perfect! The younger of the Toras appeared to be blissfully unaware of any awkwardness that might arise from the position. "Only cause you're awesoooome!" He said, holding the word out for emphasis.

Yukiko giggled. She found the silly interaction between the two siblings very amusing. It was clear that there was no way in hell Kaito would ever try that with her, so she would just enjoy watching the bond between others. The Ookami found it extremely cute.

Ayumu giggled and pat West's arm a little, feeling a little more secure now with talking to Kaito and Yuki. "I do a lot of nature and outdoor paintings, but I'm slowly starting to get into actual people portraits." she explained, feeling herself getting a little more comfortable talking about her paintings. She just didn't want to get too ahead of herself, it was a rare occasion, but if someone were to get her talking at the right moment, Ayumu could actually go on for hours about art.

Yuki smiled, happy that the Tora girl seemed to be more comfortable with talking about her art.
"That's cool," the Ookami chirped happily. "I'm more of a surrealist myself." She shrugged. "Though I could definately use some more practice."

Ayumu's smile seemed to look a little more confident by this point. "Well, if you'd like I could give you some pointers sometime." she suggested. Fellow artists were always fun to help teach in any sort of way. She understood why her art teachers loved their jobs so much, being able to help someone along with their talents was a wonderful thing to the blond.

"I'd love that." Yukiko's grin was overwhelming. Kaito almost wanted to gag (although his expression didn't give this away whatsoever). Sometimes she was a bit too optimistic. Not that there was anything wrong with being happy, but Yukiko had a tendency to be over-zealous with joy and immediatly afterwards... ready to strangle him. The height of her ecstasy was a sign of future catty-ness to come.

Kyou let the two girls talk for awhile, and loosened his hold on his sister only slightly. Ayumu was getting into her stride, but it was best to not let her go just yet. Just in case. After all, he didn't want her to lose her nerve... Still, the younger Takeda didn't know enough about painting to really jump into the conversation. That was East's forte, not his. He'd support her as much as he could though, she was his twin, and he was gonna stick by her as much as he could.

The blond twin could feel herself getting much more talkative now than she was just a moment ago. "You should've seen me when I first picked up a paint brush. I had no clue what to do with it or anything, then my teacher gave me a few pointers and examples." she shrugged slightly. "After that I kinda just took off on my own, it was so much easier after I got a little help."

Yukiko nodded. "Practice makes perfect, as they say." She added with a smile. "My first sketches were absolutely horrendous. Some days I think I would burn them if I didn't find them so hilarious."

Ayumu laughed a little at this. "At least you can laugh at your old work, I don't think I even have anymore of my old work from way back when..." she trailed off, trying to remember if she had kept anything from those days. She was really picky about her art, if one things was wrong with it that she couldn't fix, or if she just hated the look of it in general, she normally would throw it away.

"You have to eventually don't you? Otherwise you'll never improve." Yukiko shrugged. "Take Kaito here for instance," she motioned over to the blue-haired Tora with her thumb, "I'm pretty sure he didn't come out of the womb playing guitar. Everything takes practice."

This little tidbit caught Kyou's interest, which had begun to make a slow migration to the packs of candy on the cart. He glanced over to the blue-haired Tora. "You play guitar?" The grin came back full-force. "That's so cool! I wish I could play an instrument..." He loved music almost as much as he loved his photos and East (and that was a LOT considering they were his life and his sister, respectively), and the idea of playing an instrument had been a childhood fantasy. However, the Tora had little to no talent when it came to the actual playing.
