"She's alive and has ears! What a big surprise." Zephyr grinned, sipping some more coffee before peering at the drawing. "Kind of poms like your personality." He teased with a choked laugh. "It doesn't look odd it looks amazing."

"How could it be amazing?" She shook her head. "It's coffee and sugar. I don't get it" she was getting more frustrated the more she looked at it. "I can't. I just don't understand. " she pushed the napkin away and sank in the booth, her knee grazing his. She stared down at the napkin.

"See, this is your problem." Zephyr said gently. "Remember that girl you met today? The one who wanted to quit because she didn't think she was good enough? Hate to tell you but you're doing sort of the same thing. You need to see the art in what you're doing rather than wanting it to be perfect." He explained quietly, drawing a finger through the coffee sketch and creating a windblown heart. "You understand. It's all in there." He tapped her head with a smile. "If you think you can, you're right. If you think you can't, you're right."

Sophia stared at him as he spoke, blinking a few times when he tapped her head. Against her will, a slight smile ran across her lips. "Ok..." she looked down at the make shift sketch paper. "So..." she jumped up and went to the counter. "Do you have a pen or pencil?" The lady handed her a pen and Sophia came back to the table. "Ok so give me something to draw"

Zephyr really hoped that was a *OK I understand* okay rather than a *okay I have no idea what you mean* okay. He watched as she left then smirked a little when she came back. "You can draw me and my Dashing good looks." He joked with a grin. "No, draw a mountain range. Or clouds. Or a dragon. Or horses running through a flowered field with mountains and clouds and a dragon flying in the clouds. Or a book with a head. I don't care."

Sophia shook her head. "Woah woah woah. Slow down killer" she let out a soft laugh. She stared down at the napkin. She had no idea what was going to come of it, but her hands started making lines here there and everywhere. Suddenly, flowers started to appear. After five minutes, there were lady bugs and butterflies swarming the makeshift paper. Sophia looked down at her creation. "Butterflies, Ladybugs, flowers." She nodded quickly then looked up at Zephyr.

Zephyr chuckled a little before looking upon her drawing and observing every detail. It came together quickly and nicely, every line merging and sliding together perfectly until it showed a cascade of insects and flowers. "See? Looks beautiful. You can obviously draw whatever you want whenever you want if you believe it. Isn't my advice amazing?" He smirked before sitting back with a contented sigh.

"I told you you had great advice. " she said with a grin. "Thank you, but I still don't know if I can do the same thing in art class..." she shook her head. "Nevermind. " Sophia glanced around the coffee shop for a second or two before taking a big bite of the cake pop. "Oh now. Iwts aww gown" she mumbled around the full mouth she had.

"Just means you're usually right." Zephyr said cheerily, then stared at her for a moment. "Ahem, back to my amazing quote, if you think you can you can and if you think you can't you can't. Your negative speaking is hurting me." He snorted, sipping his coffee again, which was already almost gone. Maybe he needed coffee to think. He had drank ot unusually fast.

"Oh be quiet" she said after she swallowed the rest of her cake pop. "That was really good. I want another one but I would be bouncing off the walls" she pushed the napkin and the trash aside before propping her elbows ont he table and her head on her hands. "Ok. So. When is the next game?" She asked
