The war was something the council wanted to prevent, though of course that was going to be like preventing a mother bear from getting to her cubs, it wouldn't happen unless drastic measures were taken. Whoever started the werewolf resistance, for instance, would have to die, and then whichever shifter in charge of the shifters going against those particular werewolves would have to die also, and then their beta's would have to agree to a peace treaty. It just didn't seem likely to happen. The war, of course, scared her. She was terrified of bringing two children into the world where her species was being hunted down and killed. Of course, she was protected by the council, but no one knew how long that would last if they all turned against each other.

Nodding at his words and smiling brightly, Aurora couldn't deny it. She did love to socialize. "Yes, I always have. Even when I was a little girl I always wanted to be in the room full of people. My brother used to tease me by saying he would send me into a room full of people and I'd come out thirty minutes later knowing everyone by name." She told him with a shrug. She didn't know why, she just always felt safer in a room full of people. It could be because she's too afraid of being alone, though she'd never admit that to anyone, except maybe Axel though she'd have to be over emotional and not holding onto her words very carefully like she normally did.

Happy that they would at least be in one activity together, Rory couldn't help but laugh. "Well, at least we're in that together. I can't really draw, paint or anything like that so art is not my talen. I can sing fairly well and I can definitely dance, but I'm not so sure about doing those two things together." She told him with a laugh and rubbed her stomach. "Not to mention there won't be much of me dancing until after February or later anyway."

Max grinned at Rory's response to his social comment. They always said that opposite's attract, and he was surprised to see it come true. The social butterfly and the complete loner. It was how he was and it was how Rory was. Thankfully he wasn't part of the whole war thing and he wasn't going to be choosing sides either. He didn't want to choose a side, and he wouldn't do even if forced. In Max's eyes he was freaking Switzerland.

It just takes practice. Everybody can draw, but it takes time and practice, he said, grinning slightly. His sketches and paintings were his life, a view into his soul, and he didn't know what he would do if it was ever taken away from him. I'll show you, he said, pulling his sketchbook out from under him and turned to a page where there weren't aimless doodles or pictures. He manouvered himself next to Rory, still keeping a distance to avoid touching her by accident, from his satchel he pulled one of his various pencils, handing one to Rory. It's all about basic shapes. Circles, ovals and rectangles, the like. If you can draw those, then you can draw, he said.

Just follow my lead, Max carried on, drawing an oval horizontally. He waited for Rory to do the same, and his thoughts wandered slightly. When he started drawing then he honestly didn't always know what he was going to end up drawing.

'Opposites obviously do attract. I just made a friend with a man who is not social and not much like me. Hopefully we stay friends, I know I'll need them.'

[/i] She thought to herself. Rubbing her small bump, Rory was determined to keep her babies safe, no matter what happened. She would leave the country if she had to, and drag Axel along with her. She knew he would be angry if she just left with the kids without him. She would never do that to him though, she did love him still, even after everything that had happened between them. She didn't htink she would ever be able to not love him.

Grinning back at him, Rory shrugged her shoulders. "Well, time is something I will probably have enough of now that I don't have practice, games, etcetera." She could tell that he cared very much for his sketches, just by how he held his sketch book close to him and rubbed the drawings. "Oh boy, this should be interesting. You've obviously never seen my stick man." Taking the pencil, Rory listened to him and nodded her head. On occasion she could draw a circle or rectangle, ovals not so much.

Attempting to copy what he had done though failing, Rory laughed at her attempt. "See, I'm quite the failure. I can't draw ovals very well." She told him with honestly. "My mother tried getting me into this when I was younger, never really worked out. I always wanted to dance or play a sport." She told him with a grin,thinking of how many times her mother tried getting her to go to an art class when she was younger. "She eventually gave up and accepted I was born to dance. I would like to see if you can help me better than they could though, they weren't very nice and never made it interesting."

[Max Mikael Carter]

Max grinned at her comment, remembering when he had first started drawing. His attempts hadn't been much better than Rory's now, but he had a thought. What is your favourite animal? he asked, thinking that maybe if he had a proper subject to think of drawing, then he could at least get a decent attempt from Rory. That was something that kept him interested. He usually drew things that he liked to draw, hence the amount to sketches of horses in his book, and a few oil paintings in the house in England.

If interesting was what Rory was looking for, then interesting was what he would make it. Interest was a hard thing to keep when doing art, because everything varied so much, but Max knew that if he should ever find his biological parents, then he would thank the artist side of them. His adoptive father, was his father though, and nothing would ever change that. After all, the man had been a positive influence on him, and Max couldn't thank him enough. Lost in thought, he had turned the simple oval into the basic form of a panther, the face already becoming more and more detailed. Sorry. I space out when I sketch, he said apologetically, a faint blush coming into his pallor.

Smiling, Rory shook her head. "I like Panther's... especially because that's my shifter form. Snakes and cheetah's too." She replied the last sentence softly, as the two people who made her love those animals were not around much anymore and only seemed to either be angry with her or not want to be around her. Mainly, she knew she was at fault because of Axel, but she had no idea what was going on with Emma. 'She just finds her job more interesting than her family I guess. No use thinking about it now though, we'll see if she makes it to this family dinner or skips again.'

[/i] She thought to herself, almost sadly though a bit angry too. Shaking thoughts of Emma and Axel out of her mind, Rory put her attention back on Max.

Laughing, Rory shook her head. "Don't worry about it, that's me when I dance... or when I have something on my mind that I just can't get out. Therefore, I apologize if I seem a bit spacey myself. Lots going on in my life, obviously." She said while giving another laugh. "Anyway, let's get this going. I'm determined now." She told him and now she really was determined to at least give it an honest try. 'Who know's maybe it will even take my mind off of everything.'[/i] She thought to herself before letting a determined look fall upon her face. Pencil ready, Rory showed Max she was ready for whatever he was about to teach her.

Max just smiled at her comment, filling in the lines of the panther. So far it was beginning to take a good shape, but his focus was back on Rory. Well, right now we are aiming for something that looks remotely what we want. We'll do a panther, so just draw that oval again, he said, smiling at her. If he had been 'normal' or as he thought, without the premonitions, then he would obviously had taken her hand, but there always that underlying fear in him that he would see something that would either scare him or something that he didn't want to see.

Max once more drew his own oval, glancing over at Rory's. Now we draw a circle for the head, and four longer ovals for the legs, he said, drawing his quickly as demonstration. The circle overlapped the oval that would form the body and the legs he added soon after.
