With more practice, you'll be even better than you already are. I'll be the one who will need to keep up with you then.

[ He's always been sincere when it comes to his compliments, because he means them every time he gives one away. ]

Was there another scene you wanted to try out?

You make it sound like I'll go for an acting role again.

[ lumine won't.

she's pretty sure her calling is somewhere else, somewhere she can't put a finger on. maybe in a far-off that's yet to be discovered by anyone, not even her parents. that gets her to inwardly pause, however, wrinkling her nose.

no, that doesn't sound right, either. ]

Oh, well ... [ she goes through her script again, flipping through the pages. ] There's a reconciliation scene, apparently. Sort of. Some parts of the script feel unhinged, really.

[lackluster]

[ Somehow, he can't imagine her with an acting career either, but he doesn't say that out loud. ]

... Don't let the writer hear that. They might get offended.

[ Not that he really cares. He even sets the script aside now. ]

You wanna do something else? Think we still have time before we're called over for the scene, anyway.

It's not untruthful, though ...

[ there are pretty unhinged scenes here, and more than she can count with one hand too.

then again, artists can be pretty sensitive about their craft, and she's pretty sure the guy who wrote this entire monstrosity is also one of those. and considering the amount of drama that seems to happen five minutes into every start of the scene ...

her eyes drift off towards his script before she looks up at him. ]

What do you have in mind?

[lackluster]

[ Whether it's untruthful or not, it's better to be safe than sorry when it comes to creatives. At least, that's what Ajax thinks about it. No point in upsetting someone they're supposed to work with for the next little bit.

Anyway. He jerks his head toward the direction of a nearby street cart. ]

There's someone selling ice cream so I was thinking. My treat.

[ It'll be a good way to pass the time while they wait for their scene, anyway. ]

[unalign]

[ lumine follows the direction of where he points, her lips tugging to a smile when she spots the ice cream stand. ]

Sure!

[ look, there's no way she's declining an offer of ice cream—and free ice cream, at that, even if it's from a complete stranger. she should probably think through this and be a little more wary about certain offers, but she doesn't see anything wrong with this.

after all, he seems like a nice guy. ]

Better than going through this mess of a script they gave us.
