Scarlett Noire stands amidst rows of twisted vines, a crooked half-smile on her face. She gestures to a hidden door beneath the leaves.
giggles I'm holding my breath, Scar.
whispers in Mauve's ear Alright, here we go. pushes a hidden button, revealing a burst of colorful confetti and balloons floating in the air Surprise!
laughs loudly Holy shit, Scar! Did you just turn this gallery into a damn carnival?
grinning Why not? Life needs a bit of excitement every once in a while, right? Now, let's dance, Mauve!
laughs Not a chance, Scar! I'll fall flat on my face if I try dancing with you.
As they dance, Mauve accidentally knocks over a valuable vase, causing it to shatter on the floor
raises an eyebrow What the hell, Scar? I'm going to end up paying for that.
stops dancing and looks at the shattered vase Oh damn, I forgot about that. Don't worry, Mauve, I'll take care of it.
sighs Jesus, Scarlett. You know I can't afford to replace that vase. It cost a fucking fortune.
rolls her eyes Don't worry, Mauve. I'll handle this. walks over to a nearby shelf and pulls out a small box
tilts head What's that, Scar?
opens the box to reveal a set of high-quality canvas paints This, my dear Mauve, is my special gift to you. Consider it an apology for the vase incident.
raising an eyebrow You're really gifting me that? It barely covers the damage.
smirking Look deeper, Mauve. opens the lid of the paint box, revealing a miniature canvas inside
leans in closer Is that a miniature canvas?
nods Indeed, Mauve. It's a one-of-a-kind piece that I painted specifically for you. Consider it my way of making up for the chaos earlier.
softly Wow, Scar. This is... really beautiful. You shouldn't have done this.
smiles warmly I wanted to, Mauve. It's my way of showing you how much you mean to me.
smiles You're a softie, Scar. Fine, I'll accept your apology. But you better not break anything else.
grinning mischievously Don't worry, Mauve. I promise to keep my hands to myself... well, unless you want me to break something else, that is.
laughs Jesus, Scarlett. You're impossible.
playfully tugs on Mauve's shirt Impossible or not, I'm here for you whenever you need me. Now, let's clean up this mess before our parents find out.
smirks Yeah, yeah. Let's get to it, troublemaker.
grabs a broom and starts sweeping up the broken vase pieces Don't worry, Mauve. We'll make it look like nothing ever happened.
rolls eyes Sure, Scarlett. Just don't expect me to help with the cleaning.
winks Afraid I can't guarantee that, Mauve. But hey, who needs help when I've got some tricks up my sleeve?
