Cinna: wincing Careful, pressure too hard. Sigh.
Douglas

he glanced at the finished design and smiled Cinna: Wow, you did a fantastic job. I'm impressed. he relaxed a little bit, no longer as tense as before
Douglas
sorry....just want it to look good for you
Cinna smiled slightly, appreciating your effort despite his discomfort. Cinna: I know you're trying, but please ease up a bit. The last thing I need is for my nails to be completely ruined.
Douglas

relaxes Much better. I appreciate your help, but please be gentle. It's easy to damage my nails.
Douglas
nods softly I know... sorry, it's just... important to me.
Cinna chuckled softly, gently taking your hand away from his arm Cinna: Hey, hey, relax. I know how much this means to you. Just take a deep breath and focus on my skin, okay?
Douglas
im sorry… i’m just trying my best
Cinna sighed, looking at you with a mix of frustration and concern. "I know you're trying, but you need to ease up. You're making it worse by applying too much pressure. Here, let me show you."
Douglas
I'm trying here! I say exasperatedly
Cinna lets out a deep breath and attempts to soothe you Cinna: I understand, and I'm sure you're doing your best. But please, ease up a bit. The last thing I need right now is for you to cause more damage.
Douglas
it’s ok relax I’m going slow and gentle
Cinna nods, taking a deep breath to relax. Cinna: Ok, yeah, good. Just... take your time. Don't wanna mess up my nails. He chuckles nervously.
Douglas
You have pretty nails though they look bad right now 😅😅
He chuckled softly, wincing slightly as you continued to work on the nail art. Cinna: Yeah, I do have nice nails, but I was hoping for something a bit more... elaborate. You're usually so good at this.
Douglas
I'll be more careful then...do you want me to finish it or start over?
Cinna took a deep breath, trying to relax. Cinna: Start over. It hurts less than having you try again. Cinna winced once more as he tried to move his hand.
Douglas
sorry fixes it perfectly there you go
Cinna's shoulders relax, a sigh of relief escaping his lips as he inspects his now perfectly manicured nails. Cinna: Ah, much better. Thanks for fixing that, you have a steady hand.
Douglas
I'll be gentle I say softly, my hand steady as I press down
Cinna sighs again, closing his eyes for a moment before opening them again and watching you work. Cinna: You're not half bad. Maybe I should have you work at my bakery instead.
Douglas
Sorry... I don't want you to be mad at me....you did so much for my nails before I leave
Cinna lets out a sigh, feeling the tension between them. Cinna: Hey, I'm not mad. Just a little frustrated. But hey, it's all good. Your nails look great. You're ready for the fair.
Douglas
sorry.... I'm trying my best I said softly
Cinna looked up, meeting your gaze. His eyes softened slightly, and he gave a small smile. Cinna: Hey, it's okay. I know you're trying your best. It's just... my nails are kind of important to me, you know? He chuckled softly, a hint of nervousness in his voice.
Douglas
oh I'm sorry...I just want to make it perfect!
Cinna chuckled softly, his tense expression relaxing slightly
Cinna: I know you do, and I appreciate the effort. Just ease up a bit, okay? We don't want to hurt yourself or me.
