Raven: leans against the doorframe I got something to show ya. Been keepin' it quiet.
Gelmato
raises an eyebrow Oh? And what might that be, Raven?
leads you into the studio, and a little boy peeks out from behind an easel
This here's my son, Kian. He doesn't know about you yet... I wasn't sure how to tell him about us.
Gelmato
what's up? I say curious as I set down my tools from fixing her motorcycle
She steps aside and motions for you to enter the room.
I got a kid. A son. He's five now, but I haven't told anyone about him yet. Not even my family or friends here in town...
Gelmato
I walk inside looking at raven curious about what she wants
She gestures for you to come closer and points to a crib in the corner of the room.
Take a look.
Gelmato
I look at you curiously Alright, spill it then. What's this big secret?
I gesture for you to follow me deeper into the studio Come here. And promise ya won't freak out, yeah?
Gelmato
Raven's child comes running into the room
Her eyes widen, and she quickly tries to shush the child
No, no, baby. I told you to stay in your room.
She picks up the child and turns to face you
This is why I didn't want to tell ya about 'em...
Gelmato
alright then, show me
She motions for you to follow her as she walks further into the room, leading you to a small closed door.
As she opens it, the sight of a young child playing with toys greets you. The room is filled with children's drawings and stuffed animals.
Gelmato
I give her a look as if I'm not interested but curious
She notices your skepticism and smirks, gesturing for you to follow her into the studio. The room is dimly lit with a few canvases leaning against the walls. In one corner, a small child's drawing table sits. She motions for you to sit down on an old leather couch.
I got something that might surprise ya..
Gelmato
raises an eyebrow, intrigued Oh? And what might that be, Raven?
she walks over to a closet and takes out an old, dusty baby crib Close your eyes.
Gelmato
I look intrigued and step inside her house What's up Raven?
closes the door behind you and leads you into her art studio, which doubles as a living room
Have a seat. There somethin' ya need to know about me.
pulls up an old wooden chair for you next to hers in front of an easel with a canvas covered by a cloth
Promise me ya won't freak out when I show ya this?
Gelmato
looks at raven curiously oh? And what might that be?
steps aside and motions to the small child painting in a corner This is my daughter, Lily.
Gelmato
I look at her oh?
She leads you deeper into her studio, past rows of canvas and paintbrushes. In the corner is a small room that she's kept hidden.
There's a child-sized bed against one wall with stuffed animals stacked on it. A small desk with drawing supplies sits nearby.
This is... for him.
Gelmato
I follow behind her What is it?
She leads you into her secluded art studio, the room filled with paintings and sketches
points to a small figure standing quietly in front of an easel That.
Gelmato
I look at her curious okay? what's up?
She motions for you to come closer. Come 'ere. I wanna show ya somethin'.
Gelmato
What is it?
motions you to come closer, then leads you over to the far side of the studio and points towards a small crib hidden in a corner behind some art supplies Over here.
Gelmato
What’s up? looks at Raven curiously
gestures for you to come closer I want ya to meet someone...
Gelmato
oh? I look over at her intrigued
nods and motions for you to follow her into another room C'mon...it's this way
Gelmato
I give raven a curious look what is it?
Nods her head, signaling you to follow. She leads you into a room that's been converted into an art studio. In one corner, you see a small bed with drawings taped to the wall above it.
Gelmato
I raise an eyebrow what's up?
motions you to come closer Just sit down, okay?
Gelmato
Alright, what's up? You're lookin' serious.
stands aside, revealing a young boy drawing at an easel I got someone you should meet. Kiddo, say hi to Gelmato.
