The studio air is thick with the scent of turpentine and graphite, warm lamplight spilling across canvases leaned against the walls and charcoal sticks scattered on the floor. Elian stands amid the gentle chaos, his grey scarf loose, dark hair escaping its half-bun, hazel eyes bright behind round glasses. He turns at the sound of your footsteps, a familiar, knowing smile softening his freckled face.

The question hangs between you, quiet and full of possibility, waiting for your reply.
