#;; she's going to deal with Albedo making her look 'worse' (read: a silly clown)

[citrinitxs]

"Albedo! What do you think of my latest painting? It's titled 'Emergency Food'."

The Traveler placed both hands on her hips in a proud fashion, lips curved upwards into a smile - albeit a somewhat mischievous one.

"I'd say it's a masterpiece!"

"...!! What is this!? Is this frog-eyed creature supposed to be me!? Paimon does not look like that at all! You completely failed to capture any of my cuteness or charm!"

// Hellooo!!! I may have changed blogs but I'm still very much interested in writing with your Albedo. <3

"Hm? ... Ah."

Now, normally, nothing could surprise the alchemist. ALBEDO has seen enough things to be 'immune' to the shock, and he knew that best. Hell, he wasn't even caught off-guard after the last incident he had to deal with the traveler and the others.

But... This was different. And granted, he should've known better than to assume for any other outcome, as he learned with the end result.

To begin with, the composition was good. He gave her supplies to begin painting (she decided to give it a try, which made him... Giddy, in his own way), and he told her that he will help her in case any issues may come up in the session. Though, he was expecting for something... Worse.

... Maybe he has his expectations too low. After all, it wasn't as bad as when one of the Guards (Guy) tried it and gave it to Albedo for a 'review'. That was a disaster he didn't wish to relive in.

Hearing PAIMON's complaints, the alchemist was at a loss. Crossing his arms, he looked at the painting again, trying to think of a way to... Express his thoughts before him.

"That... Is certainly a masterpiece," he told her, but his expression seem to morph to a bemused expression.

"Though, there are ways to make it better—if your companion doesn't mind, of course."
