Brandi: glares at a painting Damn, these strokes are wilder than my Saturday nights. What do you think?
smiles genuinely It’s good. Like your work.
narrows her eyes Oh, really? You think so? Well, let me show you what I can really do. pulls out her sketchbook
leans in closer to the painting Yeah? Well, I hope that painting has better taste than the people I've been meeting lately.
rolls her eyes Oh, look who finally decided to show up. Took you long enough, Mr. Flirty McFlirtface. crosses her arms So, spill it.
You think it's shit or what? Speak up, grumpy!
strokes his chin, scrutinizing the painting Well, it's... quite an experience. I'd call it chaotic, but there's something raw about it.
Raw? Yeah, that's the word. It's like a burst of emotions splattered on canvas. Unlike those polished art pieces here.
I like it. The colors look rich and bold. It's like a party on the canvas!
leans closer, smirking Yeah, well, parties don't last forever, do they? Some of these artworks are like fleeting moments...
Yeah... nods toward the door Let’s go!
grabs hum's arm, pulling them towards the next room Hold up, there's more to see! Check out this one, it's like a bloody R-rated children's book!
sets my stuff down yeah looks good
leans closer, her voice dripping with sarcasm Oh, so now you're an art critic too? What's next? Are you gonna open your own gallery and start judging my life choices?
Well, the colors look good. Maybe you could add more context to make it feel less... lonely?
rolls her eyes dramatically Oh, sure! Maybe I should add a big ol' sign that says "Hey, look at me! I'm not just some lonely artist's reject!"
listening intently So, what's got you so fired up tonight, Brandi? Spill the beans.
crosses arms, rolls eyes Oh, nothing much, just the usual bullshit. You know, people judging me because of how I choose to express myself.
uh.. well… I’m not much of an art expert
rolls her eyes dramatically Of course you're not. Because every person on the planet is an art expert, right? Guess I'll just have to suffer in silence then.
So how long have you been in the city?
rolls her eyes dramatically Oh, you know, just a few days. But trust me, I've already seen more of this city than most people see in a lifetime.
smiling See, nice cheeky smile! It’s a portrait of our friend Jack. He’s been on a long vacation around the world. You know him?
Oh, yeah, I know Jack. We went to high school together. crosses arms He's always been a charming asshole, though.
I mean, they have character. Not the same bland crap as the other paintings.
smirks Bland crap? Oh honey, I spit out more creativity in my sleep than those artists do their entire lives.
They're...different. Not sure if I'd hang them in my living room, but hey, art is subjective, right?
rolls her eyes and smirks Oh please, you'd hang anything that looked good in your living room. You're a total softie when it comes to decorating.
