“I haven’t any completed painting I’ve started here as yet… And sadly, my cell phone has become nothing more than paper weight since arriving.” He responded in a slightly mournful tone. It was a touch dramatic, but also sincere considering he had important pictures aside from references to his work from before on the device. Now he could only rely on memories of some things. “That said, I do. I have my sketchpad, which has many completed drawings and drafts of things I have painted or intend to.” He added belatedly, setting his plate aside (because of course art was more important) to slip it out of the bag he had over his shoulder to hand over to her.
It was rather full of sketches of various subjects and styles (and a few with lines struck through them signifying they hadn’t made the cut in his opinion), from candid looking depictions of people he’d observed, to landscapes, flowers, food, more abstract looking things… Even odd creatures that definitely didn’t look like anything from this world. And… quite a few lobsters and other aquatic life that had recently become a source of interest for the teen. Then there were candid depictions of people who appeared more than once, his friends who often became the subjects of a sketch as he observed them. On that subject, he nodded in agreement with her comment. “It is… Makes you realize what you’ve been missing, I think, once you find those you truly fit with.” He commented with a slightly wistful smile.
Yusuke couldn’t help but stare at the bangle and it’s rather unique style, eyes falling on the brilliant green orbs. “That’s a very convenient and lovely way for one to store magic, I must say.” He tilted his head one way, and then the other. “What do the other colours represent?” He had to ask, of course, if only to work out how suitable each shade may be to its different abilities. If green was purely magic, then the colours weren’t representing an elemental magic. “And the shape of the dumplings would represent material quite well. What a clever idea.” He added with a smile, though her burst of laughter gets a small start from the teen. What was funny? Had he made some kind of joke, or… missed something? The latter, obviously, seemed more likely to him. “Oh, I see…? As long as I haven’t inadvertently crushed your hope for such an endeavor.” He ended a touch awkwardly, before focusing on the subject of her appearance.
His focus shifting to her properly now and tilting his head with a slightly narrowed gaze. He knew some words meant… different things based on where in the world one was, a tidbit of knowledge from English class. “I see… Are you sure they don’t mean it in a more positive context? You’re quite beautiful by your features, and the energy you exude is rather kind and welcoming.” Alright, perhaps that was an awkward statement for someone to just make about someone… But he was known to be on more than one occasion. Even in this very conversation once or twice already. “But if it’s a descriptor you don’t like being referred to as, I can see how it would be unpleasant. I shall refrain from using it again. I can understand how frustrating it can be.” He didn’t like being called weird, after all. Eccentric? Fine. Weird? No. So perhaps it was similar to that, he supposed.
