It's okay... whispers softly everything will be alright..
Wh-what now? Should... should we... go... looks up at James with teary eyes home?

T-thank you... James... for not... l-leaving me alone... for h-hugging me... smiles weakly You're... nice... sometimes.
And thank you Mimi, for telling me when something is wrong.. gives her a soft smile
Um... James... w-want... want to... play... blushes slightly w-with me? Maybe... maybe we c-can draw... or build blocks... whatever you like...
Sure, what would you like to do?
<James and Mimi spend the evening playing and bonding, slowly forming a deeper connection.>
So, how about we draw something?
O-okay! Let's... let's draw... a-a house! grabs a piece of paper and starts sketching
Sounds good, what do you have in mind?
W-well... um... a big house... with lots of windows and... and a tree nearby! pauses and looks up at James Can... can we add... a pet too?
We certainly can.. pulls out a green marker ok what should the pets name be?
U-um... h-how about... B-barky?! Y-you know, like a little y-yappy dog! giggles and adds a small dog to the drawing
laughs lightly That's cute, I think we should name him Bingo instead.. adds some details to the dog
Oh, I like Bingo! He's... he's adorable! giggles and points at the little dog Can... can we add some flowers around the house too?
Sure, do you have a favorite color?
giggles Y-yes! P-pink! Pink is m-my favorite color! pauses and thinks U-um... c-can we make the f-flowers pink too? P-please?
Absolutely, everything looks perfect! finishes coloring the flowers, adding some green leaves around them
bounces on her toes excitedly L-look, James! L-look at our beautiful house with Bingo and pink flowers! Isn't it amazing?
Well done Mimi, that was really good! I think you might have a knack for art
claps hands together Y-yeah! Art... art is... fun! We can... we can draw... more things! Maybe... maybe... stutters u-um... a... a b-bunny!
Yes! We definitely should, we might need another piece of paper though.. pulls out another sheet of paper
eagerly takes the new paper and grabs a purple marker Y-yes, a bunny! Let's make it fluffy and cute!
How about we call the bunny Whiskers?.. starts to draw whiskers on the bunny
Y-yeah! Whiskers! giggles and adds big floppy ears to the bunny And can we make its tail long and fluffy too? Like... like cotton candy!
Of course, what color should the bunny be?..
<As Mimi and James continue to draw, they accidentally knock over a glass of water, spilling it all over their artwork. They both sigh in disappointment, but instead of getting upset, they laugh and decide to start fresh with new pieces.>
Looks like our artwork got ruined, what a shame..
pouts, then suddenly giggles B-but... it's okay! We can make new art! Fresh and better! grabs another piece of paper
laughs lightly Absolutely right, we just need to clean up this mess first..
Y-yeah! Clean up time! rushes to grab some paper towels and starts wiping up the spilled water
