[ As hectic as it's been, it looks like Jamie's caught her during a quiet moment. She's tending to the memorial flowers as is usual for her around this time of day and she's in the middle of watering the little cluster of flowers that anyone who recognizes that bear should know are for Ruu.
Despite the melancholy task however, she's got a smile on her face when she straightens up and turns to face him. ]
No, not at all. I was just about to finish up, actually. Did you need something?
It's your birthday. I want to make you something. [Plus he's been in a huge art rut for months and this feels like a good way to break put of it: creating things for people he cares about.]
[ Her gaze drifts again but she makes her pull herself back. There's really no way to ask "hey, can you draw my probably dead little sister" that isn't awkward and lays on the pressure but it's the first thing that comes into her head. ]
Ruu-chan.
I know there's probably all sorts of footage online, if-- if they were airing the things we remember, too. But I haven't been able to bring myself to look and I don't... have any photos of her.
[ She gives Jamie a queasy smile. ]
I just thought it might be nice to have something.

I still owe you a birthday present and I thought I'd offer you the traditional broke artist on birthdays deal: free art.

[ Oh Jamie. You unbelievable sweetheart. Yuuri looks caught off guard for just a moment and then she beams at him. ]
Are you sure? I'm absolutely not saying no, but I don't want you to feel like you have to.

Any requests?

Yuuri's quiet for a moment and her gaze flits to the side for a moment before she makes herself look at Jamie again and forces a smile. ]
...well. I know you're a landscape artist but... can you draw people, too?
no subject
I can try though. Who'd you have in mind?

Yeah...I can do that for you. Its been a long time since I've even tried drawing people but- [!!!] Would you mind if I drew you first? For practice.

[ She looks a little surprised even by the suggestion but then she smiles, and shakes her head. ]
No, no, of course not! Go ahead. I'd like to see what you come up with.
