Video; Day 20

So... I forgot to announce this when I got them but... I got my art set~

[She is practically jumping for joy as she steps to the side to reveal her box with the art stuff inside. There aren't a vast majority of paints at best only four, but they were hers and she was happy.]

I am soooooo excited~ to start painting with them, but then I realized I don't have anywhere to paint. back home I painted on the walls of the tower and I didn't have any space left... But I know painting on the walls here might not be such a good idea. But at the same time don't you think the train would look nicer too?

I want to know what you think? [She soon stepped back in front of the box before hurrying to grab a notebook. She had other reasons beyond letting people know she finally had paint.]

Oh! But that wasn't the reason for this whole thing... I mean it was one of the reasons, but not the most I'm important... I mean... it will lead to my next point... [She flips through her notepad, a lot of it basically had either drawings on it or writing. Soon she stopped to pause.]

I started to wonder if perhaps when I get more stuff I will set up art classes. I mean I have a lot of time on my hand and I could use that time for a class that's fun and creative~ A great way to have people draw or paint how they feel. I mean... It might not be a class to learn something useful, but I honestly think sometimes we just need a fun class and just relax.

[She smiled slightly.]

I also wanted to bring up one more thing. Inigo and I once talked about maybe having classes for those who didn't come from a world with technology or slang or just...modern day things. Does that make sense? I am sorry if it doesn't. But in order for that to happen, we'd... kind of need a teacher who actually knows that kind of thing. So if anyone is interested let me know. I just really want to learn without getting annoying and asking what it means every five minutes or something.

[She soon went to put the notepad down before putting her hands in front of herself and bowing politely.]

Thank you for listening.

[adropofsunlight]

Maybe. But you never know unless one tries at least.

[She found herself nodding for a moment.]

I am sure the person you like finds you charming, right?

[She remembered that conversation, so she wondered if he had actually told that person yet.]

Though I am assuming that you told them.

[flatteries]

[ Inigo keeps smiling, but his cheeks are definitely turning such a bright red as he stares for a moment before replying.

His smile is turning a bit more dopey too. The clear image of a lovestruck fool. ]

.. I did. And, uh.. [ How to best sum this up? ] .. Well, he's my boyfriend now.

[adropofsunlight]

[He clapped her hands together happily.]

That's great~ Congrats.

[flatteries]

Thank you.

[ Maybe some people might find it slightly embarrassing to get that kind of reaction, Inigo just seems to bask in it for a moment before he continues. ]

You were right. I just.. had to tell him. I wish I could've done so earlier instead of being so nervous all the time.

[adropofsunlight]

I consider you being nervous as part of your charm and I guess something as big as confessing might be serving too... I don't actually know.

[As it's never happened to her yet anyway.]

[flatteries]

[ There's an odd sound coming from Inigo - it almost sounds a little like he's choking on his own spit in surprise. ]

Part of my.. charm?

[ Did someone just tell him he has charm. For real. This isn't a joke, right? ]

A-- Ah, I mean, of course I know I have plenty of charm! [ Yeah, Inigo. Sure. Okay. ] No one has ever counted nerves among my charms before though!

[adropofsunlight]

I think so, yes.

[She thought that it was charming in its own way. Some people might like that sort of thing.]

But that is just me. But I am sure others see that charm too.

[flatteries]

Rapunzel, you're far too kind.. [ He means that even beyond flattery. Because sure, it's nice that she's giving him compliments like this, but she usually is super nice even when she's not complimenting him. ]

You have plenty of charm too, you know? I wouldn't be surprised if half of the guys my age on the train were pining after you!

[adropofsunlight]

I don't think that is the case.

[Nit that she really focused on that subject. More just wanting to be kind and help others if and when she was able to.]

But I am positive I have a lot of friends.

[flatteries]

Well, friends are great too.

[ He can agree on that much. ]

But you've never considered having a special somebody?

[adropofsunlight]

I mean, I never would have before. Now I'm still not that sure. If it happens it happens.

[flatteries]

[ Well, it makes sense that she wouldn't have before, considering what he knows about her situation.. ]

The world is your oyster now though! Aren't you even slightly curious? [ Inigo knows he would be! ]

[adropofsunlight]

The world is my oyster? The world is my food?

[Why oyster? She didn't quite understand that.]

I guess slightly curious, but not something I would actively seek out.

[flatteries]

[ Inigo pauses for a moment.

But then he laughs. Only lightly, though, he wouldn't want to make it seem like he's laughing at her! ]

No, it's.. it's an expression. Oysters can be hard to open up, right? But when you do open them, there can be a pearl inside. So it means that as long as you try, you can find so many wonderful things out there in the world.

[adropofsunlight]

Oh! So that's what oysters are.

[It makes perfect sense now. At least the saying did.]

Finding the nice things in the world is something I can do. Like nature or something as simple as feeling grass between your toes. You should really try it sometime. It's really nice.
