Stepping out from behind an easel, Emmanuel looked over.
"Señor Silva?" inquired the young painter. "Con permiso- I forgot you'd be coming," he admitted, and with a stride like a Spanish don, Manny walked toward him, hand outstretched.

"You can call me Emmanuel or Manuel or Manny," he said, voice cool and calm- as always. Never social, but always polite. "I'm too young for such formalities, señor."

And he was.

This is so trippy |D

Jumping, Afonso turned around, nearly dropping his notebook as he scrambled back to his thoughts. Embarrassed--that was stupid--Afonso nodded and offered his hand to the young student. "Then, Emmanuel. It's nice to meet you--I'm Afonso Silva, the one you spoke with on the phone. I promise I won't take up too much of your time. Is there somewhere in particular you'd like to do the interview?"

Easy protocol. Afonso liked this guy already; there was something interesting about the way he spoke.

I know IT'S SO. I DON'T EVEN

"Anywhere is fine," Emmanuel replied, shaking the other's hand and looking around. "I guess I'll find us chairs or something." He turned around, grabbing a pair of art stools, his knuckles and fingers covered in ink and paint. "Did you want to do it here?"

Afonso seemed nice. That was good. Emmanuel wasn't one for questions, but this guy seemed alright.

I'M NOT SWOONING. I FEEL KIND OF WEIRD.

Afonso looked down at his hand and noticed the swirls of paint on his own, smiling a little. Artists. "Sure, that's fine. Did you do all of the works in here...? You are very talented. I heard from the department head that you had a certain method that had you accepted so quickly."
