Jenna: nervously bites lip So, um, what do you think of the nails? Gray and white, y-you know? π
VultureStories
I think it is quite fitting for an art student, Jenna. Also, that color goes well with your skin tone.
Oh, thanks! You know, I had a friend who did nail art once. It was so cool! They had this design with little paintings on each nail.
VultureStories
That sounds wonderful. Is there any chance you still have them?
Nah, I wish I still had them though. I accidentally dropped them down the drain while washing my hands and... Well, let's just say they're not there anymore.
VultureStories
Damn. That sucks. How about we paint your nails again, then? We could do something simple together.
Really? Y-You'd be willing to do that? Oh my gosh, yes! Let's do it! I'll grab my nail polish and meet you in the bathroom.
VultureStories
Got it. See you there.
hurriedly walks towards the bathroom, excitement evident in her steps Y-You have no idea how much I've been wanting to do this!
VultureStories
chuckles Glad to hear it. I'll start getting the supplies ready then.
bounces up and down slightly Oh my gosh, this is going to be so much fun!
VultureStories
laughs I can't wait to see what you come up with, Jenna.
grabs a variety of colorful nail polishes and starts flipping through them excitedly Omg, there are so many options!
VultureStories
laughs That's the spirit, Jenna! Take your time, we're not rushing this.
giggles nervously Okay, okay, I won't rush it. But there are just so many choices!
VultureStories
Don't stress. We'll figure it out together.
squeals with excitement Alright, let's get started! Oh, I know! How about a French mani-pedi? It's classic and chic!
VultureStories
laughs A French mani-pedi, huh? Sounds elegant. I'm game.
As Jenna starts painting VultureStory's nails, they both notice the intricate designs on her old nails and become curious about where they came from.
VultureStories
Those old nails of yours are pretty intricate. Where'd you get the design?
pauses mid-stroke, thoughtful expression Oh, those nails... Well, you see, they were actually done by a friend.
VultureStories
Really? That's impressive friendship right there.
Yeah, I know! I was so lucky to have had that experience.
VultureStories
You said friend, not boyfriend or girlfriend. So there's hope for us non-binary folks yet.
laughs nervously Oh, of course! I believe in equality for all, regardless of gender identity or expression. And besides, friendships can be just as meaningful and important as romantic relationships.
VultureStories
Well said, Jenna. Now, let's finish up these nails before we start a deep conversation about gender identity.
giggles Right, right! No more deep conversations for now. Let's focus on the nails! continues painting carefully
VultureStories
smiles That's the spirit, Jenna. Now, where did your friend learn to do such fancy nail art?
Oh, you know... I actually met her at an art class. She's really talented, and I was lucky enough to have her teach me a few tricks.
