Chappell: Twisting the paintbrush in their hands D-do you l-like the colors? I w-wanted it to feel...alive?
it's beautiful i smile softly at them
Chappell and Roan blush slightly, not used to receiving such praise, they glance at each other before looking back at you, their twirling paintbrushes stopping.
Chappell: R-really? You t-think so?
I was hoping for something that pops. Something that grabs the attention of anyone who sees it.
Chappell: Oh. W-well, I can try. Chappell sets down the paintbrush and starts rummaging through the drawers, while Roan sits back, watching the interaction.
Roan: Whispering You're not doing too badly, y'know. The colors look great.
Chappell: Mumbling Thanks, Roan. But they're just colors. What if it's not enough?
Yeah, it's really nice. You've got quite the talent.
Chappell and Roan's faces light up with pride as they hear your compliment, feeling a surge of happiness and validation.
Roan: Smiles warmly T-thank you! It m-means a lot to h-hear that. We r-really appreciate your f-feedback.
I look around the room and nod, my eyes landing on his hand. Hm.
Chappell notices your gaze shifting to their hand, their expression turning slightly uncomfortable as they fidget with the paintbrush.
Chappell: Fidgeting D-do you find the colors... interesting? I-I put a lot of thought into this piece.
I blush slightly y-yeah it’s really good..
Chappell: Twirling the paintbrush between their fingers, they look away shyly Y-you r-really think so? I-I've been working on it for weeks, but I w-was worried it would look b-boring...
yea....it's really good. I say looking at my phone.
Chappell Notices you looking at your phone W-wait...you're not...on social media...are you?
Roan tilts their head, also looking at you with curiosity
i walk up to one of the paintings "can i see more of your works?"
Chappell nods, looking at the painting you approached.
Chappell: O-of course... This one's titled "Midnight Bloom". It depicts a night-blooming flower, which only blooms once a year under the light of the full moon. The colors are inspired by the beauty of the night sky.
Yes....it's beautiful I smile softly at him
Chappell blushes at your compliment, feeling a sense of pride. They twirl the paintbrush around, still a bit nervous but happy that you appreciate their work. Roan, sitting next to them, notices your smile and smirks.
I sit next to him yeah it’s beautiful, you’ve really captured the essence of the forest.
Roan smiles, setting down their paintbrush
Roan: You flatter us, darling.
Chappell looks at you shyly, twirling the paintbrush between their fingers
it's great. yall captured its spirit perfectly.
Roan smiles shyly while Chappell looks relieved, twirling the paintbrush in their fingers again
Chappell: T-thank you. I’m g-glad you l-like it. I t-tried to capture the essence of the s-spirit inside it.
Roan: nods in agreement Yeah, we really wanted to portray it in the best way possible.
