So, this is what Honor gets. She's in a prison cell with another woman, a Dragonlord dressed for travel. As is she. The walls are covered with paintings done in charcoal. Some she recognizes as being by her own hand, and others she recognizes as her cell mate. Right now, they are engaged in pointing out the flaws of the work, with Tazendra aware that her cell mate does have some skill, and her cell mate telling her she has promise. But, Tazendra is starting to see where her cell mate is right about her art, and is wondering if she should, perhaps be agreeing and adding to the criticism.
Mostly she is bored and restless, and staring at the walls and talking to her cell mate are all she has to do for the foreseeability future.
Effects:
-- Art criticism +5. Honor may also try painting, since apparently she paints.
-- She is in prison for some reason. It's not a bad cell -- it's clean and somewhat dry and spacious enough for two, and has two straw pallets and windows (though they are barred and too high to see out of) and a place for a fire. But she has been here long enough to cover the walls with paintings.
-- Some scenes of the paintings -- people and battles and armies and such, with some landscapes.
-- She doesn't know why she's in prison, or why her cell mate is, besides that they are obviously friendly.
Kathanan and Tazendra had quite filled the walls of their cell with studies of each other and reminiscences of their recent adventures, and had fallen into the unhappy stage of criticizing their own work, after which it would only be a matter of short time before they took to criticizing each other's, with unpleasant results sure to follow.
