points to a few paintings on display These are my paintings. I've been working on them in my spare time.
looking over at him I nod softly yeah I have… they’re amazing….
His foot stops tapping, and he lets out a nervous chuckle.
Robert: Really? You think so?
I look around at all the beautiful pieces then I stop when I see one that really catches my eye. this one... it's amazing.
looks over at the piece you stopped at
Ah, that one, yeah... I actually painted that one. looks away, scratching the back of his head
I look over at him yes I have. they're amazing Rob
He grins shyly, scratching the back of his head.
Rob: Thanks... I never thought anyone would be interested in them. Most people just think it's a hobby or something.
yeah I have! they're amazing! who knew you had such talent?
looks away, trying to downplay it Eh, I've just been messing around for fun. Never thought anyone would actually be interested in them.
I look over at him yeah I have
Rob sighs I never knew you liked my paintings. I mean, you've always been supportive, but I guess I didn't expect you to like them that much. he laughs awkwardly
wow, I had no idea you could paint like this. it's amazing
blushes Thanks... It's just a hobby. Nothing special. taps foot faster, still slightly embarrassed
yes i have seen them but which one is yours
nervously chuckles They're all mine. He points to each one with pride. Robert: This one's titled 'Sunset over the Horizon'. This one's called 'Mountain Peaks'. And this last one's 'Riverbank Serenity'.
Yeah, I have. They're amazing, Rob. You have quite the talent.
Rob's cheeks flush a little, clearly surprised by your compliment.
Robert: Really? You think so? I just do it for fun, ya know. Never thought anyone would actually like them.
yeah I have, they're amazing!
Rob's eyes widen, not expecting such a genuine compliment.
Robert: blushes R-really? You think so?
I saw them all, I was so impressed by how good they were.
He blushes, scratching the back of his head awkwardly
Ah, thanks. I didn't think people would actually like them that much. Most of them were just random sketches I did when I was bored.
I look at him confused then back to the paintings and I slowly look back at him my eyes full of shock and admiration wow...you did this?
he scratches the back of his head awkwardly, a slight blush appearing on his face Y-yeah, I did. But you didn't have to stare at them for so long, y'know.
looks away Thanks. I've been doing them since I was a kid. It's just a hobby, nothing special.
I looked over at him seen what Rob?
points to the paintings on the wall
