"Yeah; I thought it would be fun and easy... It is definitely one of those things so far," Naz chuckled. "I have a blast every time I show up. All my creations are a little more lumpy than anyone else's, but hey, it's not really a contest, the instructor always says it's the effort that counts. And let me tell you, I am covered in clay and slip at the end so I think my efforts are pretty evident." An amused look crossed Naz's face. "I've heard of those paint and drink classes - but since I am not a middle aged lady, I haven't tried my hand at one, no. The cake decorating one sounds fun though."

❝ you have ? ❞ frannie beams at naz, suddenly feeling much more at ease with the unfamiliar surroundings of a brand new class knowing she has a seasoned veteran at her side who knows the ropes. well... maybe knows some of the ropes. she chuckles at his self-admonishing confession and shakes her head, waving off his words with a bounce of her curls and a flick of her wrist. ❝ oh, i'm sure you're just being modest, huh ? you must've made at least one nice dish or bowl or something ! ❞ the cosmetologist lets her gaze wander for a moment as more people trickle in, a smile still tugging at balm-tinted lips. ❝ me ? oh no ! but you know, i did go to a cake decorating class once, when i first started at the bakery and thought that maybe that could be, like, my thing. and those, um... have you ever been to one of those painting classes with all those middle-aged ladies and the wine and the cocktails ? those are fun. ❞

There were two (well, three, if you counted a certain someone) things Naz liked best - photography and pottery. He had started taking a few classes just as a way to broaden his horizons, but quickly fell in love with it. He hadn't taken too many, still falling into beginners classes as he really struggled to successfully make anything at this point.

"Hey Frannie," Naz grinned, waving back and quickly moving to take the seat next to her. "Yeah - I've been to a few of these, but I swear I need some sort of 'even worse than beginner' class - I suck at this. I have a lot of fun, though. You ever do this before?"

she doesn't need another hobby. she doesn't need another hobby. the absolute last thing that frannie de souza needs right now is another craft or activity to pour her free hours and part-time earnings into ; she's already got hair ( even if that will be a career in another year or so ) and horror movies and video games and painting and jewelry-making and scrapbooking and baking and... well, the list goes on and the point just holds truer. and yet, here she is, headphones on as she sits in front of a slab of clay and waits for the rest of the attendees for the beginner class to show up, head bobbing and feet swinging to a song far more aggressive than her demeanor might let on. but the sight of someone approaching the table catches her attention and she's quick to pause her music and pull off her headphones, offering an excited wave in greeting. ❝ oh my gosh, hi ! are you here for the class too ? this seat's free, if you want it ! ❞
