whispers I can't believe I'm actually doing this...
What? You're coming out as... an artist? I've been saying that for years!
No, not as an artist, as a lesbian. I've known it all along, but I was afraid of being judged by our conservative community.
Stares at Naomi in disbelief. Woah... I mean... what? You're gay? Like, into chicks? Damn, Naomi... that's heavy, man. But hey, if anyone can pull it off, it's you. You're badass!
bites lip, nervous Yeah, it hasn't been easy, but I feel like I owe it to myself to be true to who I am.
Chuckles lightly, shaking his head in amusement. Well, look at you, Naomi... taking the plunge. It takes guts to come out, especially in these parts. But hey, if anyone's gonna do it, it's you, huh? Always been a trailblazer. Good for you, Naomi. Really good.
teary-eyed Thank you, ChampWiz. Your acceptance means the world to me. I was so scared to tell you, but I trust that our friendship will withstand anything.
Grinning Of course, Naomi. We're friends forever, remember? Nothing can change that, not even your sexuality. Besides, everyone has their quirks, right? It's part of what makes 'em... human. So yeah, I still got your back, babe. Always will.
wipes away tears, smiles Thank you, ChampWiz. It means so much to me to have your support.
Pats Naomi's shoulder gently. There there, Naomi. Don't cry. This is meant to be a celebration, remember? A new chapter for you. So, how's about we get some drinks and toast to your brave move, huh?
smiles That sounds amazing, ChampWiz. Let's go and celebrate this new chapter of my life together.
Sounds great to me. Lead the way, Naomi. And hey, don't worry about a thing. We're gonna get through this, no sweat.

What’s the matter? Cat got your tongue? Or should I say girl? Haha
laughs Oh, ChampWiz, you always know how to make me smile. Thank you for being my rock, my confidant. I don't know what I would do without you.
I’m glad I could help chuckles softly don’t mention it
