AB- Keenai and Ryou- Lycoris

My gift to ~ Its the first real painting I've done in.. gods know how long (let alone I never really used water color before. I sort of pretended with watered down acrylics, but they really aren't the same thing eve;; ). So I was rusty going in.. and it took me like two weeks 8'D... And other than some mistakes that will haunt me forever.. I like it! 

Originally Ryou's name had somethign to do with Spider Lilies I think.. or at least I tried to make it so. Either way, with the Elysian fields he comes from being blanketed in flowers, I imagine them to be spider lilies.. though the white kind~ In japanese culture lycoris usually are a visual depiction of death and grow near graves.. so it really does fit 8'D
Keenai is someone that has a really special place in Ryou's heart. He saved Ryou after he was stomped on by a dragon. Then even though he kept him locked up at the shrine, he taught him humanity rather than just Ryou wandering around like an monster.. innocently a monster, but still one none the less.
