She was drawing. It seemed like she was always drawing. When you could make your drawings come to life, why wouldn't you? She focused on the page in front of her moving the ink lines about on the paper to turn her crude sketch into something that actually looked good. That was the one downside to her powers, it came out how it looked, so if it was crappy on paper it was crappy in real life. When she was satisfied she ran a hand over the image, and then a little soldier stood himself up on her knee, standing about a foot tall. She looked at him and he looked back with that blank glassy-eyes expression that all her creations had. They weren't alive, after all. They didnt' think. They could only do what she told them.

It got annoying sometimes, she would admit it. She drew and drew and drew and seemingly couldn't stop herself from creating these things from ink and paper. Many times, however, once she made them, she had no idea what to do with them. The blonde girl folded up the now blank piece of paper and stuck it in her pocket, following it with the pen. She made a shooing motion with her hand that caused the soldier to hop off of her knee to the floor and start walking down the tunnel, towards the other blonde down there, Venus. Considering her skill with war, Ink thought the girl might find the little soldier amusing. If not, she might be annoyed. Either was enough for Sumi.

The tunnel seemed fairly empty, as far as Venus could tell. Of course, she was only going by what she could feel in the walls and hear as her heels echoed down the hall. Though the halls were dark by nature, Venus didn't notice; it was always dark, to her. Even so, she had no problem navigating the familiar tunnels. Anyone down there that she might have run into usually just stepped out of her way, used to it.

Now, as her hand skimmed the wall beside her, the blind warrior became more and more aware of another person's presence becoming increasingly clear. If Venus wasn't mistaken (which she rarely was), it was none other than Sumi. And, of course, she appeared to be at work again on creating her little... toys. Venus paused in her steps and reached down to where she'd heard the light steps, picking up the small soldier and running her fingers over it.

"It would be nice if these were larger," she mused, approaching the girl. "They wouldn't do much good in a fight. Try drawing them with more armor and fire power, next time... Maybe a flame thrower." A grin spread on her face and she held out the soldier for Sumi to take back.

"That little guy wasn't meant for a fight," she said, grabbing the soldier and crumpling him up like a piece of paper before tossing him to the ground. The wad of soldier disappeared seconds later as if it had never existed at all. "But they can get larger," Ink told the other girl, "As large as I want them." She knew that the Hive valued her partly for the fact that she could draw up an army in just a few minutes. They would fade after a day, but an army was an army, however temporary.
