Description

I've been away from this couple so long that when I finished the picture I cried.
God I missed these two, so much.



Read to Understand

The story behind this picture is basically . . .

Nina was collecting a specific type of flower and during this process Raimundo acted on instinct and settled on the ground to talk to her as she worked.

After she neared him with the already picked orchid's Raimundo asked why they were so important, to which provoked Nina to explain they're petals had special abilities for a rare elixir that cured headaches. If made right.

At this point still upset about his previous relationship Raimundo asked about heartaches.

Overall surprised by his sudden communication about the constantly struggling fights between him and Kimiko, Nina only blushed and mumbled.

Clearing her throat to exchange a proper reply she made sure to set a single flower onto his chest quickly stating,
"Pretend every petal represents the strings of you're heart. One precious and a bit broken but bare in mind the other strings that tie you to it. . ."

Before being asked another question Nina stood and made her way back to the temple.

Head clouded by his own thoughts Raimundo just lays back down and thinks over the girl's statement, completely missing the point of her wisdom and guidance's true intention but understanding what she meant.

-end story description -

Mhm, I had a dream about this, really sad, if anyone is wondering Nina's true guidance its that she is reminding Raimundo that they're are other people out there for him, such as herself but she doesn't come out and say it because she lacks the courage but making him realize they only way to be happy is to move on, that would make her feel better even if it wasn't with her.

I absolutely loved the story behind this picture! It's very well-written and I think it would make a beautiful fanfiction, if you haven't already written one based on it ^^ The artwork is gorgeous, too. Very impressed!

I can't find any blank backgrounds Are theere any or did you crop off pieces you could use?

SoulessLotus In reply to Cimmerian-Zion [2011-09-18 19:10:04 +0000 UTC]

Mostly cropped off pieces I could use, originally this picture Omi sitting in the middle of it, I just edited it a little so i could put both Nina and Raimundo in the middle somehow.

:'P Xiaolin Showdown backgrounds are pretty complicated, so maybe watch an episode or two and screenshot a good background or a few good ones hun <3

So cute! In my storie Raimundo is like this aswelll but he broke up with Kim a lot of time ago and she is now Clay's girlfriend, but Raimundo can't accept this well... And he starts going out with my OC and Kim gets jealous, what destroys her relationship with Clay and she starts to fall in love with other of my OC's and Clay finds another girl.

But, going back to yours.... Your storie is really pretty! I really liked it. ^^ I think I prefer this side of Nina than the other when she's doing... "things"... #_# I think she looks more likely a good girl... But you know how you like you OC to be and look like and this things... ^^"

Well... Sorry for the long speech... Hahahaha! I like your work, you shouldn't stop it.

SoulessLotus In reply to Usakoako [2011-09-06 13:39:58 +0000 UTC]

That's a pretty good idea too hun, very interesting that you can get so in depth about you're characters as well. <3

Thank you very much, there a lot of things Nina has to overcome to even consider Raimundo as a true love interest, she tends to be really sensitive but hides it by her rationalism.

And as far as her doing other "things" it could revolve around not fully understanding why she is that way with Raimundo, its all about the comfort she feels around him and she publicizes that frequently that could be why people aren't comfortable with the couple of her. She isn't like that all the time, more specifically just when she feels the need to express her love and respect for Raimundo by showing him how much he means to her. In terms that's why I usually draw some of the things I do.

It isn't because she's a sleazy girl just that she is genuinely in love and cares for Raimundo its really not meant to symbolize anything promiscuous.

Its okay because my response is equally long so, its fine hun, haha. <3 I appreciate you're comment though, very nice to hear from you.

Thanks hun, I wanted to try and get a feel of what these two go through before actually discussing how they feel, lets just say Raimundo can be a bit oblivious to the most obvious things.

< < its their to hypnotize you love.

SugarSweetVenom In reply to SoulessLotus [2011-09-06 17:00:43 +0000 UTC]

Oh, so it's one of those kinds of relationships is it XD ? Well they certainly didn't waste any time making up for the lost time, even though they are on and off they still have something very beautiful. Raimundo is hard to get along with or so it seems, but he's really just bad at expressing his feelings and it's cute. I don't like Omi too much myself but I can't help but stare at that aura he's emitting

Everyone loves a bit of drama, even if they don't like to admit it it makes life interesting. Conflict is something that naturally comes to human beings, to deny it is denying who we are.

(Well it involves Jack being neglectful and her being in heat and finding her way to the temple to hind from everyone.)
