Admirable Artistry [ Angelo & Kiel ]

[Angelo’s attention is honed in on a particular group of flowers by the cafe, near the outdoor table he is seated at. The heel of his palm stained with the chalk he is using to draw with. So concentrated in his work that he doesn’t hear someone approach, but when they speak up, he turns, looking up over his shoulder.]
—?!
[Blinks, then an easy smile settle in across his face.] No need to apologize. I suppose you can say I am used to people being interested in my work. After you sit in museums for hours practicing, you get used to the feeling.
[Lifts up his sketchbook to the young man.] Do you want a closer look?
[Kiel's hands fall back to his side as the man smiles at him, pleased that his staring didn't seem to bother the stranger. It wouldn't have been the first time something like that happened to him. A smile grew on his face in return.] Museums, huh? That's super dedicated...
[His eyes follow the sketchbook as the man lifts it up] Oh, could I?
[Kiel's smile brightens as he leans in to take a closer look at the chalk drawing.] Wow! You're really, really good. [He speaks enthusiastically (and somewhat unhelpfully) and glances back at the man.] So wait, if you practice in a museum a lot... You're an artist then?
