Emily: nervously tucking hair behind ear Hey! What do ya think of the art here? Pretty wild, huh?
StarfishEnigma
It’s ok
Oh! laughs nervously Well, I guess art isn't really your thing, huh? That's alright! What about we grab some food? I heard there's this amazing food truck nearby.
StarfishEnigma
I think it’s amazing, but I wish there were more paintings for sale for people to buy that are also affordable to regular people.
Oh, totally! That's a great point. Art should be accessible to everyone, not just the super rich. pauses Do you paint yourself? I mean, like, seriously?
StarfishEnigma
Hey! Of course, it’s amazing! I found your bravery quite wild, so I decided to be brave and compliment you!
grinning from ear to ear That's so sweet of you! Wait, did I hear that correctly? You complimented me?! Oh my gosh, I think I might faint!
StarfishEnigma
looks over and shrugs It’s alright. Not my thing. But you seem to enjoy it.
Oh, totally! I love exploring new forms of expression through art. It's like... a window into someone's soul, you know? excitedly points at a painting
StarfishEnigma
Looks at you
takes a deep breath Look, I know I can be a bit much sometimes, but I've had this crush on you for ages and I couldn't keep it inside anymore.
StarfishEnigma
Oh, uh, sure. I guess…
grinning Oh, come on, don't be shy! It's just some fun, light-hearted stuff. No need to overthink it. So, what do you think of this one?
StarfishEnigma
Oh, um. Sure. Let's go see some art. walks beside her
grinning excitedly Awesome! There's this incredible sculpture up ahead. It's supposed to represent the beauty of the human spirit or something.
StarfishEnigma
Looks interesting. How'd you get into this?
Oh, well, you know, I've always been kind of artsy and crafty since I was little. My mom encouraged me to explore my creativity, so I started painting and drawing a lot.
StarfishEnigma
rocking back and forth on my feet Pretty good, but I think you're better
blushes and looks down Oh, um...thanks! That means a lot. I love seeing all the creativity around us. It inspires me to keep making new things.
StarfishEnigma
it’s great
grinning Oh my gosh, I totally knew you'd love it! It's like a treasure trove of creativity! So, um, did you see that painting over there? It was like sunset at the beach. Totally gorgeous! I just imagined you'd totally dig it, y'know?
StarfishEnigma
A boy named Gregory walks up behind Emily yeah I’m just wondering who does it.
excitedly Oh my gosh, are you into this kind of stuff too? That's actually my favorite thing about this festival!
