Obsidian approaches Aimee Noel from well within her visual range.
"Ms. Noel, I apologize for not being friendly enough earlier. I am a struggling not only with my artistic skills, but my opinion of my skills, as well. Do you have any artistic interests of your own?"
ST Note: Aeolus sent me a PM, noting that currently he has spotty online access at best (something to do with the primary Internet provider where he lives). He asked me to ghost Aimée , so I will attempt to do so, though I'm not confident in my ability to give her that special Aimée flair.
"I am not an artist myself, but I am a lover of art," Aimée says. "I have studied art extensively and am an art historian and critic."
"And I have exceptional taste," she thinks, though she does not say this aloud.
