Two people and one dog: There are exactly two adult women in this picture, Nuala on the left and Maebel on the right, and exactly one dog, and nobody else. Nuala, on the left, hair: Nuala has one long auburn braid and ordinary rounded human ears. The auburn braid is hers alone. Maebel, on the right, hair: Maebel's hair is long, wavy and silver, with a centre part and sidelocks. The silver hair is hers alone. Maebel, Ears: Her ears are long and pointed, elf ears, fully visible. The pointed ears are hers alone. A painterly anime illustration in a soft cel-shaded semi-realistic register, late-afternoon palette of dust, warm brick and low sun. Drawn in clean cel-shaded anime line art with flat colour areas and simple shading, drawn rather than photographed. Anime facial proportions, large expressive eyes, small nose, soft jaw. The women are drawn about seven and a half heads tall, small heads on adult shoulders. The doorway of a plain street clinic in an industrial slum, late afternoon. Soot-stained warm brick, a worn stone step, a plain wooden door standing open, one small window with a dull white curtain, a tin bucket and a coiled hose beside the step. Dust hangs in the low sun. The street is cracked brick and dry mud. Mill roofs and a chimney sit further down the row. Inside the door the room is dim and plain, a wooden bench and a closed cupboard, and the light stays out in the street. Framing: A wide view from a slight three-quarter angle, a few paces off in the street, the lens about waist height. The near cobbles fill the bottom edge, larger than the stones by the step. Both women are head to toe inside the frame and about the same size, Nuala in the left half and Maebel in the right half, the open doorway and a gap of air between them. The top of the doorframe runs across the upper third. Dusty sky and the brick upper storey fill the top of the frame. Both faces turn toward each other and both faces read clearly. On the left, near boot already down on the street and the other boot still on the stone step, body turned toward the road and head turned back toward the doorway, stands Nuala: A 31-year-old woman ranger with a long auburn braid, in a grey-green hooded travelling cloak with the hood down, a longbow on her back. She is human, with rounded human ears. Her mouth is closed. A closed buckled pack sits under the longbow on her back. Still inside the doorway on the right stands Maebel, an adult woman in her mid-30s, an elf woman with long pointed ears, long wavy silver hair with a centre part and sidelocks, aqua eyes, full lips, and a full-bust build, with a black leather collar and silver studs. She wears an ornate khaki dress with a dark brown corset. Her eyes are on Nuala, quiet, a farewell across the step. Sitting at Maebel's feet inside the doorway, beside the hem of her dress, is Doyle, one white and grey sable German Shepherd. He is the one dog in the picture. Posture and light: Both of Nuala's hands hang open at her sides. Her hips and her cloak are turned toward the road, and her face is turned back. Both of Maebel's hands are closed around one cloth-wrapped loaf held at her waist, on her side of the threshold, the loaf level with the corset. She stays on the clinic floor inside the door. Low late sun comes along the street from the left, warm on the brick dust and on the side of Nuala's cloak, and the doorway behind Maebel stays in soft shade. The two women stay separate, with the stone threshold and a gap of air between them. Both faces are sharp, and the dog is sharp.
