Hands-On Art, Class #10, Period 1

[slapbetcommish.livejournal.com]

"Morning, class," Lily greeted everyone when the last person had arrived. "So it's two days before Thanksgiving and who actually wants to be here today yeah I thought so. I'll tell you what. I'm going to go easy on you, and today you get a movie, and I've got sugar cookies. Ignore that they are holiday-themed, blame consumerism. The movie's about an artist, so we're on topic. And if you're really ambitious, you can take notes and look like you're working. Enjoy the movie, have a great holiday, and don't kill anyone at the stores on Friday."

"Oh yeah?" Ned returned his grin. "Uh, with who if I can ask and it's not an intrusion."

He ducked his head and his voice was very very low.

"Amber," he admitted with a smile.

"I think I met her once," Ned said, keeping his own voice quiet. "She's nice. I bet you guys will have fun."

"She's very nice," he agreed, "I just hope I don't bore her to tears."

"I'm not really one to giving dating advice but most girls wouldn't agree to a date if they didn't really want to go, I don't think," Ned said.

"I hardly know how any of this works. The first person I dated was a boy and things were... well, I don't know, a little more straightforward."

Because doing laundry together and accidentally falling into the tub was the stuff of romantic legend. Yes.

"I know what I've read in Nanny's old romances, but I don't think girls like you falling over laughing in the middle of things. Or anyone, for that matter."

"Unless they told a really good joke?" Ned tried. "Maybe they'd like it then. Make them feel like it was a really really good joke."

"There's that," he agreed with a nod.

"I'm not very good at talking, though."

"Is she?" Ned asked.

Liir nodded.

Rather.

"So, maybe you can just listen?" Ned suggested. "And sort of jump in when you feel comfortable?"

"That's about what I'm planning to do," he admitted with a brief grin.

"And speak up if she asks."

"That's about what I'd do," he said with a nod. "And hope I don't spill some thing on my pants."
