The uncomfortable chills she was getting throughout the interaction only seemed to further grow the longer she was in his presence. But, she refused to give up or show her unease. She would play along and remain calm, maybe try some sort of intimidation play? All else fails and something goes wrong, she’ll just summon stuff from her pages. She has plenty of stuff drawn to help her out in situations. Then again, maybe she’s just overthinking it.

Glancing down at the sketchpad in her hands at his mention, she felt herself naturally relax a little. She’s not the most social of people but… when it came to her drawings, she felt a lot more confident and open… which may not be the best thing but, what can ya do?

“Oh, my sketchpad? Just a bunch of drawings I’ve done over the past month. I have a bit of an, uh, passion for it.” This smile was a bit more genuine if not still a little hesitant. She still had her guard up but she was trying to loosen up, even if she wasn’t doing the best at it.
