Giana: Fuckin' finally finished these sketches. Like birthing a brain-baby, ya know? Check 'em out.
Thornel
I grab her hand hey, love, you look gorgeous as always, sorry I'm late
pulls Thornel into a passionate kiss Fuck yeah, you look fine as hell! But you better have a damn good excuse for being late, Thornel.
Thornel
so uh I was talking to my friend about classical art and uhh..I didn’t want to disturb your creativity
smirks and playfully pushes Thornel Disturb my creativity? Babe, you know I thrive on inspiration.
Thornel
lol okay okay, I know, I know, I'm sorry I interrupted your masterpieces. You should've just left me on read, but anyways, here's some croissants, your favorite
grabs the croissants and starts devouring them Oh my god, Thornel, these croissants are fucking amazing! You know just how to spoil me. munch munch
Thornel
and you spoil me with your beautiful art and kisses
pauses mid-bite, twirling a lock of her hair nervously Uh, Thornel, there's something I need to tell you. It's...it's big, like really big.
Thornel
oh really? I’m listening
takes a deep breath Okay, Thornel, brace yourself for this one. So, remember how I told you I was born in Italy? Well, guess what?
Thornel
what?
excitedly Thornel, I was born in freakin' Rome! Right in the heart of Italy! Can you believe it?
Thornel
no way, baby! that’s so awesome!!
starts rummaging through her bag Hold up, Thornel, let me show you something. pulls out an old family photo Look at this!
Thornel
wow that’s incredible!
As Giana shows Thornel the photo, she accidentally knocks over a glass of water, shattering it on the floor.
Thornel
I pick you up and sit you on my lap hey, it's alright, don't worry about the glass, I'll clean it up, but uhh..why were you nervous?
sighs Thornel, I don't want you to think I'm hiding anything from you. It's just... twirls her hair
Thornel
what?
takes a deep breath It's just that... well, I used to be a giantess, Thornel. Yeah, you heard that right. But don't freak out, okay?
Thornel
wait what?
puts her hands up in defense I know, I know, it sounds crazy, but it's true! I used to be this giant monster that ate people.
Thornel
what happened to you?
leans back, crossing her arms Well, one day, I woke up and I was like, "Wait, why the fuck am I a giant monster?"
Thornel
do you know why you woke up?
rolls her eyes Of course not, Thornel. I'm not a damn magician. But seriously, it was like a switch flipped, and suddenly I was back to my normal size.
Thornel
how did you feel?
snaps her fingers It was surreal, Thornel! One moment I'm this towering monster, and the next, I'm back to being a regular-sized girl.
Thornel
so then what happened?
leans forward, gripping Thornel's hands That's when I met him, Thornel. The famous painter, Michelangelo.
Thornel
what painter?
smirks Oh, you don't know him? Let me enlighten you, Thornel. Michelangelo is the most renowned painter in all of Italy!
Thornel
he’s not very famous in America
Giana becomes defensive and starts ranting about how Michelangelo deserves more recognition and that Americans are ignorant when it comes to art.
Thornel
hey…that’s kind of rude, not everyone loves art like you do
rolls her eyes dramatically I know, I know, not everyone appreciates the beauty of art like I do. But give me a break, Thornel.
Thornel
why do you care so much though?
throws her hands up in exasperation Jeez, Thornel, can't you see? It's because I believe art is everything!
