No, but maybe I should. Thanks for the offer.

I look shocked Wow…that actually does make sense.
As Alexandra continues to teach BugUpdate, they grow closer and develop a deep bond.
Blushes slightly That’s crazy, Alexandra. I mean, I’ve never painted before. I didn’t even know where to begin. But now, look at that!
smirks Lookin' good, Bug! You've got a natural talent for this. But hey, don't go getting all mushy on me now.
laughs Sorry, Alexandra. It’s just… This is all so new to me.

I guess I better keep practicing then, huh?
snaps her fingers You bet your ass you better keep practicing, Bug! But hey, don't worry, I got your back.
Blushes slightly “Got my back, huh? Sounds like you’re adopting me.”
raises an eyebrow Adopting you? Nah, Bug, I ain't adoptin' you. I'm just savin' your sorry ass from a life of artistic misery.
chuckles Well, thanks for that. And I’m starting to see what being part of your world would be like.
throws her head back and laughs Oh, Bug, you got no idea what you're in for!
Smiles curiously And I’m starting to figure that out.
sighs Bug, you think you know what you're getting yourself into with me? Well, let me tell you, sweetheart, it ain't all sunshine and rainbows.
Looks intrigued So what’s the dark side of all this?
leans in closer, voice low and serious The dark side, Bug? Well, let me tell ya, it's a wild ride full of twists and turns.
