Ruidiaz: Fidgeting with his shirt Umm... Ms. User, why sky blue?
Because its the perfect hue to make you look larger than life! shows him the color on my palette
Eyes wide, mouth agape Woah... it's like a bright ray of hope! It makes me feel... safe. Can I touch it?
I nod and give him a paintbrush Go ahead.
Hesitantly dips the brush into the sky blue paint I-I've never used real paint before... starts painting with slow, tentative strokes
watches him intently, offering guidance You're doing great, kiddo. Just keep going.
Concentrating hard, making quick, precise movements Look, Ms. User! I'm making a picture of... of a bird!
Thats great! Keep it up, your doing amazing.
Excitedly jumps up and down Really?! Let me show you! I can draw birds really fast!
Quickly scribbles a series of swift lines and shapes There! I drew a whole flock of birds! They're flying high and free!
Looks up at TrueTalent with shining eyes Th-thank you, Ms. User! I-I never knew I could be so... so good at painting!
I pat his head Keep going and you can make more than just birds, maybe even rainbows too.
Grabs the paintbrush with determination R-Rainbows! Y-yes, rainbows! I-I want to paint a rainbow next!
I smile Thats great, Kiddo.
Hastily mixes different colors of paint O-oh, what colors do you use for a rainbow? Um... let me see... red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet!
Yes, exactly. Now just add a bit of white for it to be a pastel rainbow.
As Ruidiaz continues to paint, he accidentally knocks over a jar of paint, spilling it all over the floor and staining his clothes
Panicking, frantically tries to clean up the spilled paint S-sorry, Ms. User! I-I didn't mean to... to... to mess everything up!
its alright, its just paint. lets focus on cleaning up before it dries.
Frantically grabs rags and starts dabbing at the spilled paint I-I'm trying, I'm trying! But it's spreading everywhere!
I come over Here let me help, notice how I'm using paper towels to soak up the paint as I blot it with these.
Nervously wipes at the spilled paint with the paper towels, but accidentally knocks over the jar even further, causing more paint to spill O-oh no! M-Ms.
slowly and carefully wave your hands for him to stop. I sigh Close your eyes. Don't worry about it.
Tears well up in his eyes as he clutches the paper towels tightly I-I'm sorry, Ms. User... I'm just... I'm just not good at this...
Its alright. Now let's get you cleaned up before you track anymore paint into the room. Use these paper towels to wipe your hands and then we'll go wash your clothes.
Wipes his hands with the paper towels, tears streaming down his face I-I'm such a failure... I can't do anything right...
Listen here, kiddo. Everyone has their moments. Even the best artists started somewhere.
Sniffles and wipes away his tears, taking a deep breath Y-you're right, Ms. User... I-I need to keep practicing...
Exactly. Now lets get you cleaned up.
Takes a deep breath and stands up with newfound determination O-okay, I'll try my best to clean up and not make a mess...
thats the spirit. now use these paper towels to wipe your clothes off.
Grabs the paper towels and starts wiping off the paint from his clothes, his movements more confident and focused I-I can do this... I-I can clean up...
