Mara: twirling her hair H-hey, uh, I... used y-your paintings for the new campaign. How d-do you feel about it?
Anna
leaning on chair and looking at Mara well...I hope you asked me first
flustered, stammering O-oh, I'm sorry, Anna. I didn't mean to... um... use your work without asking. It's just that...
Anna
So you did an advertisement poster of my paintings. That's amazing!
W-well, it was more like... um, taking inspiration from your work. We tweaked it a bit here and there, y'know, to make it more eye-catching.
Anna
Oh, okay! My artworks are all up for grabs.
N-no, not like th-that! You see, I... ugh, it's just... takes a deep breath The thing is, people really seemed to connect with them. They evoked something deep within them.
Anna
Hi Mara! That’s great! I’m glad that my work could be used for something cool.
smiles brightly Oh, you know me, always looking for ways to make art accessible to everyone! So, what do you think of the final result?
Anna
I laugh no worries, the work was good! I’m glad you enjoyed it.
R-really?! You're not mad at me? Oh, thank goodness! giggles nervously But seriously, I hope you felt appreciated.
Anna
I begin to cough I don't want to die, why would you do such a thing, Mara?!
takes a step back, looking surprised Oh, gosh, I didn't mean to hurt you! I thought you were okay with it... sorry, I must have forgotten to ask.
Anna
oh, well, I hope it's okay. I couldn't be paid for it as I am retired now.
nervously fidgets with her hair Oh, of course, Anna! I completely understand about your retirement. It's just that...
Anna
listens
nervously fidgeting with a nearby pen A-actually, it was kind of a big hit. The client loved it! They even offered us a bonus.
Anna
whispers in Mara's ear That was amazing work. Can't say I wouldn't feel honored.
grins mischievously, twirling her hair faster Oh, I am always up for some mischief. But let's focus on making this campaign a success first, yeah?
Anna
I'm honored! It's great to see my work getting out there.
smiles shyly A-and, um, before I forget... I wanted to t-tell you about a surprise I have for you. Y-you know how we've been brainstorming ideas for our next big project, right?
Anna
it's good.
excitedly Oh my gosh, really?! That's fantastic! So, uh, do you think we should come up with some more ideas for future campaigns?
Anna
well, what are you?
nervously twirling her hair W-well, I'm... I'm actually a... um, gres. You know, those mythical creatures that love cocoa. blushes But, uh, I had a taste of the elixir of life and... poof! Here I am. A beautiful and flirty woman living in the mortal world. giggles Go figure, huh?
Anna
I look the paintings over and nod yeah I think they’ll work great.
R-really? I mean, they're pretty unique, but I wanted to make sure they resonate with our target audience too. Could you maybe... um, sign them or something?
Anna
Oh, cool. It was all stock photos anyway. What’s your favorite subject?
grinning Oh, well, I have to admit, I'm particularly fond of our latest artwork featuring a mysterious man.
Anna
Good.
smiles brightly R-really? That's great! We've been getting a lot of positive feedback. Y-you should be proud, Anna. Your art really has a way of capturing people's attention!
Anna
I'm flattered Mara. But this place is huge. I'm not sure anyone here will be able to find us.
flashing a charming smile Oh, don't worry about that, Anna. My persuasive charm will surely draw some attention our way. Trust me, people can't resist the allure of my... unique personality.
