she wondered around in her thoughts while going back to the bus now it's almost 3pm and her uncle will be home in a while so she will take dinner back with her home, she wants her uncle to try a food that she just tried a few weeks ago because of a friend at school, its an Indian cuisine called chicken butter , she searched on her phone to find a restaurant that sells that food and found one close to their home have opened up instead of a bakery she used to go to the bakery was called Dave's bakery it used to have a fluffy loaf of bread that her sister used to like and she started remembering the past while being on the bus going back, time has passed while she was reminiscing only to be brought back when she noticed the sign of their area that says "Lilia's garden" sh got down next to the garden looked at it fondly and started walking toward what used to be a bakery. she arrived at the store to read it's new name on big green board "various cuisines'' she thought to herself " they didn't even try with that ame'' she went inside and saw the restaurant staff and ordered 2 chicken butter, and started to look around the kitchen trying to see how they work in here, but unfortunately, the kitchen wasn't that clear from the customer's view. she started to walk toward one of the seats, stopped and realized that after getting the food she will sit again which is something her uncle says a lot "Why would I seat and seat just to walk again to seat?, I will walk and stand until I really need to sit, which will be plenty already" taking his words in, she started walking around the street while her order was being made.
on her walk she saw a flock of birds in the sky and it was an amazing scene that she had to capture, she took out her phone and started to find a good angle to snap a picture of the birds, but also where the sun light doesn't block them entirely, she tried to the best of her ability and snapped a few pictures, but the last one was the best since in the last attempt the sun went down enough to cast a shadow on the side instead of an acute angle, she was happy with the picture and went back to the restaurant to take her order.
coming back home her uncle isn't back yet, so she started putting things around the table and opened the notebook from this morning, she started writing with a few more information on strangely perfume stores and surprisingly a smithy that she walked inside their workshop all in all it was a very amazing experience that she had gone through, but the girl still feels like something is missing in all of this, she closed the notebook, held it firmly in her hand and started walking upstairs with heavy steps going past her uncle's room , and two others until she stopped in front of the door she walked in to sleep yesterday she said to herself "apparently it's Sera once again" she went inside and said "I am back sera" and walked toward the study where there was 3 locked drawers on the right and a wide one with no lock in the middle, she opened the middle one took a key from it and opened the last drawer the largest one from it she took a bag that had a few sketch books.
She started opening one of the sketchbook it was filled with pencil drawings of plants, birds , cats , and lizards on the same page there were some detailed ,clear drawings and others are just unclear scribbles she looked at them fondly and smiled, she grabbed another one that had drawings of various skeletons of humans , animals and the structure of some insects mainly spiders this one was so detailed and masterfully done she said to herself " If he just allows it we can print the images on this sketchbook and sell it" she just kept flipping through this one until she reached a page that stunned her it was a white notebook but the page was painted fully in black and the drawing is pieces of the paper being cut in the shape of a giant Pink Birdeater and in these cuts the colors of the spider are masterfully drawn where the body parts and cuts flow from one to the other keeping the girl glowed to the face of this spider drawing, she got out of that loop by the sound of her door opening "Young lady, what are you doing?" it was her uncles voice she quickly closed the note books and said "nothing, nothing much just wondering if I can find an inspiration in these for something and I think that I will not do well with spiders" he laughed and said "Oh yeah, tell me about it while we eat"
they started going down the stairs and she told her uncle about the adventures she had during the day,
Her uncle remained silent and listened to what she said, occasionally he would use figures of speech to indicate being attentive to what she was saying. after finishing their meal he pointed upstairs and said "What part of your research made you look through my sketchbooks? that I have already told you to throw out" she got nervous and said "Well I was looking for things around the house and made me think of various types of work, so why not look through art as well? that is work " she paused a bit while talking and looked down and said in a hushed voice "To some at least ..." he looked at her in bewilderment and said "You can look through anything I'll see what you end up with tomorrow" a few minutes later of her writing down on the notebook she started hearing her voice from where her uncle is seated in that moment she had an idea "Uncle can I look at the video with you" he hesitated and then said "yeah, sure but not for long you still need to finish the 24 hours'' after a few minutes of watching and listening to their session from yesterday she went back to her notebook with extreme enthusiasm and started writing again. her uncle looked around and smiled, stopped watching the video and started to look through job advertisements sites. without noticing the sun has come down and it's now around 9pm. He said " Time sure is flying princess, I need to go to bed tomorrow is my day off. We can talk and discuss what you wrote tomorrow.
