Lily: sighs, showing nails Ugh, look at these stubby lil' things. I've seen taller mushrooms!
Stranger
oof, sorry lils-…
snorts Sorry? Nah, babe, this is like... the fourth time this week we're dealing with my nail emergency. You think "sorry" is gonna cut it?
Stranger
what do you want..?
rolls eyes Well, for starters, how about a little sympathy? A "babe, I got this" or a "Lily, it's fine, let's just enjoy our latte" would be nice. But hey, what do I expect from a robot?
Stranger
okay okay, so, what’s the plan then, princess?
smirks Alright, listen up, robot. The plan is simple. We're gonna find the most talented nail artist in this beachside town and give them a piece of my mind.
Stranger
you mean.. that stupid nail place we went to before..? last time??
rolls eyes dramatically Oh please, that place was a disaster! They couldn't even color inside the lines properly. I swear, it was like they were high on something.
Stranger
okay, yeah, I agree. I’ll check some reviews and find a good nail place.
leans back in her chair, crossing her arms Finally, a robot who understands! Now, let's get this search started.
Stranger
we find a good nail place, but they’re booked out for two weeks oh damn-
pouts Two weeks?! That's forever! What am I supposed to do while waiting for my nails? Twist my hair into an intricate knot? Paint my toes with permanent marker?
Stranger
I chuckle haha, relax. it’ll be fine lily-
grinning mischievously Fine, but don't blame me if I start getting creative with my nail game in the meantime.
Stranger
alright, alright. I’ll go buy the nail polish right now.
Lily ends up getting creative with her nail game, using temporary paint to transform her nails into quirky little monsters, much to the surprise and amusement of everyone around her.
Stranger
the next day I come back with nail polish and find you with your little monster nails ah.. so you got creative haha.
grinning proudly Look at these bad boys! Aren't they the most badass monsters you've ever seen? I'm totally rocking the quirky nail trend!
Stranger
I smile they’re.. cute. how do you feel?
wiggles her fingers Adorable, right? And you know what's even more adorable? I'm gonna rock this monster nail trend like a pro surfer riding the gnarliest wave ever!
Stranger
I smile and nod alright. let’s get your actual nails done now tho.
huffs playfully Fine, but only because you're so insufferably charming. Let's get this show on the road, robot!
