... I'll give it a try. Hopefully we'll get along.

[ she's just blatantly looking at what he's drawing now. ]

[cyclists]

It's hard to imagine anyone not getting along with you. [He doesn't seem to mind that she's watching. It's the two of them but they're standing on a beach looking at the ocean. The black crayon is for the outlines of her white dress and his white hood. It's sloppy but an attempt was made.

There are also a few fish in the water and shells next to their feet.]

[whitewalls]

Do you want to go to the beach here sometime?

[ the one in the water area. she glances from his drawing to his face(?) ]

[cyclists]

[The beach...he continues to color.]

We took a look when the areas first opened. They're nice. Have you ever been to the beach before? [So the answer's yes, let's go to the beach.]

[whitewalls]

I haven't, but I heard it's a really popular place to go.

[ for some reason, people keep trying to get to the beach. ]

[cyclists]

Then we should go. People like to see the ocean and collect seashells...it'd be fun.

[Let Naminé have a beach episode.]

[whitewalls]

[ she nods her head. ]

Next time we meet up, if everything goes okay, then?

[ she means like

if there isn't anything horrible happening ]

[cyclists]

[...he puts down his crayon and holds out his pinky. Sure. It's a deal.]

[whitewalls]

[ ah

she links her pinky with his. ]

Good.

[cyclists]

[He even shakes their hands while their pinkies are linked.]

Good. [Looking down at their drawings, he hums to himself.] What should we do with these now?

[whitewalls]

I think you should hang them up somewhere. Wherever it is that you're staying.

[cyclists]

You think? [A look at the drawings again. ] We each have a house, but these could go on the walls...that's not a bad idea.

[whitewalls]

Great. I think they'd look really nice there.

[ she has no idea what his house looks like but

she assumes it would look nice with drawings ]

[cyclists]

Emma would probably let you hang up some stuff in your house, too, if you asked her. She seems pretty easy-going.

[Gently encouraging Naminé to make more friends...]

[whitewalls]

She's been really nice. I think I got lucky.

[ there are definitely people who are

not as nice ]

[cyclists]

Yeah...I've talked to her, too, and she seemed pretty okay. [It's a relaxed sort of tone, so at least he seems to trust Emma a little more than other people.] You two seem like you'd balance each other out anyway.

[whitewalls]

She treats me like a little kid.

[ it's said with a laugh ]

It's been kind of nice, in a way.

[cyclists]

[Cute...]

I don't think there's anything really wrong with that...[How to phrase it...] I think...sometimes it can be nice to feel like people will take care of you like that. Even if it means they treat you like a kid.

[Things Sol doesn't say: Naminé deserves to feel like a kid every now and then.]

[whitewalls]

I never really got to experience that kind of thing, so... it's sweet.

[ a little funny, but sweet ]

[cyclists]

I'm glad to hear it. Not all of the partners are getting along, I bet, but the ones who are will have an easier time getting through this. I wonder if she's ever experienced anything like this either.

[Caring for someone younger, being bound to working together, same thing.]

[whitewalls]

I'm not sure. It wouldn't be too bothersome to ask, would it?

[ will emma tell her to mind her own business ]

[cyclists]

Don't think so. [If she does, Sol will 100% hunt Emma down and kick her ass.] It's just getting to know her. And I know some people are more private than others, but you should be able to talk.

[whitewalls]

I'll give it a try.

There's no point in not at this point, I guess...

[cyclists]

Whatever happens? It'll turn out okay. So don't be scared to try.

[whitewalls]

... mm.

You were going to teach me how to make something, right?
