[Hey, Luca, have a pigtailed loli waving at you.]

You should help us paint too! [She stands aside to reveal the bubble she's working on, which is full of stick figures.]

[...she's not that good of an artist, okay?]

[subsultive]

[He really can't help but smile. Children are so cute - even if she's only a few years younger than him.]

I'm not a very good artist... I think I'd just end up messing it up instead of helping, actually.

[pigtailed_loli]

Nobody cares about that! [She slaps a bit of paint randomly onto the bubble.] C'mon! You can help me out with this!

[subsultive]

[BUT HE CARES ABOUT THAT] Um-- well, all right...

[So he'll just. mosey his way over to the paint supplies table and pick up a regular sized brush and return to Anise's side, giving her a nervous smile]

So, um, what are we... drawing for the wall, exactly?

[pigtailed_loli]

I was trying to draw a bunch of my friends stomping on the Malnosso! [well, the stick figures she drew could be doing anything, really.] But then I realized I had no idea what the Malnosso looked like. Anyway, what's your name!

[subsultive]

I wonder what they look like, too... [It takes him some time before he figures out what he wants to paint, and he dips the brush in Anise's paint while he replies.] Uh-- I'm Luca. Luca Milda. What's your name?

[pigtailed_loli]

Anise Tatlin! ♥ [She moves over a bit so you have more space.] Did you figure out what to paint?

[subsultive]

It's nice to meet you, Anise. [Starting a bit higher than her, at a comfortable level for his awkwardly tall, lanky self.] I think so.

[...but it's a secret, so he smiles at her and just puts the brush to the wall, very carefully.]

[pigtailed_loli]

[Is that how it is? Hmph, fine! She goes back to her own part of the wall but is only able to concentrate for a few minutes before bursting out:] So, what're you planning to draw?

[subsultive]

Wings. [-- IT SEEMS WAY TOO SIMPLE, DOESN'T IT? He blushes a little, trying to concentrate on making them look like, well, little wings. Dozens of pairs of them, in a little group, like a flock.]

I'm not a very good artist right now, though Pao-lin's going to teach me more in a few weeks, s-so I thought I'd just do something... easy...

[pigtailed_loli]

Well, it looks pretty good! All cute and colourful! [She frowns at her own work, which is beginning to look messier than ever.] Gaaah, I think you have the right idea! Maybe I should just paint over this and try something easier!

[subsultive]

I think yours is very... you! [But he can't say that, having only talked to her for a few minutes, right--?] Um, what I mean is... It's cute.

[pigtailed_loli]

[GLARING!] Boooo! You're just teasing me, aren't you?

[subsultive]

N-Not at all! Everything that we paint, even if it isn't as good as others [and he knows his won't be!] still represents a little part of us, right? So, um... That's all...

[pigtailed_loli]

Wow, you're a pretty optimistic guy, huh?

[subsultive]

A-Am I? People have always commented I'm kind of a pessimist... [BUT HE'S A CHANGED MAN. HE'S NOT THE PESSIMIST LITTLE BOY HE WAS WHEN HIS JOURNEY BEGAN. HE'S AN OPTIMISTIC MAN--] A-Anyway, it's not a bad thing to be optimistic, right..?
