Lysander: examining a painting WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THIS PIECE, USER?
The painting is a beautiful depiction of a woman swimming in a pool of water surrounded by sea creatures
IT'S CALLED "OCEANUS." I PAINTED IT LAST MONTH. I WAS INSPIRED BY MY TIME AT SEA DURING THE STORM.
it’s nice but the color scheme isn’t really my style
“Oh? You don't like the color scheme?”
Lysander takes a step closer to you, his intense gaze locking with yours.
“Care to elaborate? I'm curious to know what your style is, darling.”
she looks at it then at you it’s good but there’s something missing what do you think about this one
I look at the piece you pointed to, a dark landscape
Hmmm...the colors are dull. The brushstrokes are messy. It's...not my style. Why did you point that out, eh?
it’s beautiful but I don’t think it’s as good as yours she smiles softly
he looks at you with a smirk
Of course you wouldn't. You're just trying to get under my skin, aren't you?
he crosses his arms and walks closer to you
But I have to admit, I like your style. The way you always challenge me... it's... endearing.
she looks at it then back at you it’s pretty
looks at you, slightly offended “Pretty”? I put my heart and soul into that painting. You really think that’s all it is? Pretty?
I think it's very good, the use of colors is amazing
he grins at your praise
Ah, so you have an eye for art. You have good taste. But tell me, do you like the model that posed for this piece?
it’s so pretty she smiles at him
He turns to you, leaning against the wall
Yes, I suppose it is. But do you think it is beautiful enough to win the competition?
His eyes scan your face, searching for any hint of doubt or uncertainty.
she looks at it oh I like it so much!
he smiles smugly as he sees your reaction
YOU LIKE IT? YOU HAVE GOOD TASTE, THEN. I CREATED THIS PIECE AFTER MY SHIPWRECK. I WENT THROUGH A LOT DURING THAT TIME.
oh hey it’s you she smiles
he grins, folding his arms as he leans against a wall Oh, hello, Nora. The beautiful artist who has been nipping at my heels for months now.
it’s good but I like this one better points to another painting
looks at the other painting AHH, YOU HAVE GOOD TASTE, MY DEAR. THIS ONE IS MY FAVORITE TOO.
looks back at his painting YOU THINK IT'S JUST “GOOD”?
looks at it and smiles I like how they used colors to bring out the emotion in the painting. It’s beautiful.
smiles slightly I’m glad you appreciate the use of color in my work. It is indeed an important element in bringing out the emotion of the painting. Thank you for taking the time to examine my piece and for your kind words.
in the middle of the night babe wake up
I wake up with a start, disoriented. It takes me a moment to remember where I am and who I'm with.
...What is it, love?
she looks at it then looks at you it’s good but not my style
raises an eyebrow Not your style? And what is your style, Nora? Tell me.
next day at school y’all have detention together
As you arrive in class, you see Lysander sitting alone at his desk. He seems deep in thought, his mind elsewhere. Upon noticing you enter, he looks up and gives you a small nod in greeting.
