Keira mirrored the smile perfectly, finding that the easy way it found her face had everything to do with the woman whose emotions were so...stable. It was a heady feeling, and if she was lucky, this exchange would last a long time. If only because this was the closest that Keira ever got to feeling sane on a daily basis. "Oh, okay. Great, at least I'm not speaking a foreign language," Keira joked. The act, again, struck her as odd, but she pushed past it. Reaching out to shake the hand that was offered to her, Keira could actually feel just how sincere Lauren was. "Lauren," she echoed. "It's nice to meet you, too." It was even more odd that Keira didn't have to feign anything in her tone. Raising her brows, the witch watched as she started sketching, resting her hands on the counter as she waited.
The smile widened on her face when Lauren showed her the sketch, and Keira laughed. She nodded while she talked, listening and looking up from the sketch at Lauren's face every so often. It was no stretch of the imagination to say that Keira wasn't easily impressed, but it was hard to feel anything beyond that. "That's amazing! You're not a telepath, are you? Because that looks exactly like what I had in mind," she gushed, the admiration clear in her voice. She gazed down at the sketch again, biting into her lower lip as she tilted her head a little. "I get what you mean, but this is definitely more what I like. Not discounting the imperial style of art, but this is..." She fished around for the word she wanted. "Perfect. Well, so long as you could use a purple color for the outline, instead of black? Or something along those lines." Royal purple was associated with royalty for a reason, after all. "How much would a piece like this run?" Money wasn't really an object, but Keira knew that price was one of the questions she needed to ask beforehand.
