Something incredible happens to Wenbin's face when he - she? - writes. Like a flower unfurling: the lips slacken, the jaw loosens, even the eyes look softer; slowly, the shoulders and wrist relax, until the brush is all but dancing, light and airy, tracing ink-black steps on a paper stage. She - he? - probably doesn't even realize how much tension she's usually carrying, but to anyone who cares to notice, the difference is staggering. Now fully relaxed, he - she? - aahh, never mind. All of that can wait.

Lexuan finds the seat with the best view, and settles to watch a master at work.
