Oh I'd certainly hope not. You've only been on this app a short time now.

[ If she had enough to need the technique... well, she shakes her head, humming a little bit as she picks out some nicer pens. ]

You're an artist? Hobbyist or trying to make something of it?

[imaginex]

Yes! I'm hoping to go to the art program here at Recollé U.

[Art's one of her passions, as niche as her drawings tend to be. She visibly brightens as they steer away from talk of memories]

I wouldn't say I'm good, per se, but I do want to learn. And honestly, I don't know what else I'd go to college for.

[matchbreaker]

[ . . . Don't ask if she's taking loan that's something that she can handle herself bites cheek and nods ]

Well, that's understandable! Honestly, I was the same. I ultimately finished most of a nursing degree after a lot of waffling.

[imaginex]

Aaaah, you waffled too, Marker-san?

[She's kinda surprised since Elda doesn't seem the waffling type. But in hindsight, that's probably because she assumes all adults have their lives together.]

I admit, I didn't even go to college as early as I could've... I'm almost nineteen but probably won't go until the spring. [She doesn't sound guilty, at least.] Though maybe I should keep putting it off for now...?

[matchbreaker]

That's not really something to be asking a stranger. To begin with, I was born, raised, and went to college all in this one city.

[ she laughs it off, but then pushes up her sunglasses, glad that this covers some of her face and thus is going to prevent her from taking so much - exposing some about if she's a little flustered. So instead... ]

If you're asking me though, it seems to me that unless the economics of it are going to ruin you, you already committed to moving out here, right? Might as well just go for it, unless you came here for some other reason.

[imaginex]

[Though she agrees with Elda, Sakura's so starved for advice she's willing to ask anyone at this point. Really, why does life demand kids these days rush into debt?]

You're right, of course. I find this city charming in its own way -- well, the strangeness aside.

[That goes without saying]

And it'd make my parents happy, so...

[Mmmm but that is not a conversation she wants to have. MOVING ON]

Have you been to this place before? Their watercolors are pretty neat! [Proudly showing off her finds? It's cheap, but the pigment looks pretty good.]

[matchbreaker]

[ Elda's smile is warm there, willing to go on... but also somewhat grateful to branch off from it. But at that question, under the sunglasses, she brightens up. ]

Oh yes. I've picked up my sketch books and ink pens here for years. A few years back when I tried my hand at painting I got them here too, but I confess I was never any good at that.

[ She looks a little sheepish, waving a hand with a pen in it. ]

I've never advanced beyond inking, myself.
