006 ⚜ Video ⚜ A work of art

[paysdelamour]

[After several weeks of not posting on the Network, Francis pops up on the screen, a big smile on his face - as well as a little splotch of red paint on his cheek. His hair is tied up in a little ponytail and he's wearing some old clothes that he's made into painter's clothes. In the background, one might be able to hear the sounds of a popular

[Why hello there handsome~]

Oh, merci beaucoup, monsieur! [Francis is beaming kthx]

[goldilocked]

[It's - a little blinding but]

Erm, hello?

[paysdelamour]

Bonjour is hello. [A small laugh.] That was "thank you, sir". I'm glad you appreciate my paintings!

Painting, cooking... is there anything you can't do, Francis? Operate a hot air balloon, maybe? [ She laughs, propping her chin on her hand. ]

You have a daughter and a son, huh...? How old are they now? [ Adopted? There's something about the way he says his daughter is 'from' Seychelles that seems odd. ]

[He laughs softly at that.] Non, I can't do that. Nor can I speak Japanese!

Ah, they're too old! They need to go back to being little children again, when I could hold them in my lap!

[topslug]

Well, it's good to know you have some weaknesses!

They must be really cute. Do they take after you, or their mother?

[paysdelamour]

I have plenty of weaknesses. Little children being one. If Pino hadn't asked me to show her some scenes from my world, I don't think I'd ever have gotten into painting again!

Oh, they are. They will always be mes petits bébés. I like to think they take after me, mais, I'm sure they're tired of their old papa by now.

[Have a very impressed little AutoReiv, staring in wonderment.]

Ah - Francis! They're beautiful! Is there really a place that beautiful somewhere?

[paysdelamour]

[Yay, the star of the show~]

Oui, of course! These are some of the prettiest places I've seen in my whole life, in my home world.

[countsrabbits]

Aaah-ha!

Francis you're so good! So good!

[paysdelamour]

Oh, merci, merci! I'm so glad you like them! Ah, ce qui me rend si heureux, de vous voir sourire!

[France is off in happy land don't mind him]

[jazzmurderess]

Well aren't you just talented?

[paysdelamour]

Oh, bonsoir, Roxie dear! Well I would certainly like to think so. Merci!

How have you been settling in, since I spoke to you last?

[jazzmurderess]

Well, you're very welcome. [Two can play the flattery game, after all~]

Fine, just fine. My first trip to the store was a little scary, but this place is definitely interesting.

[paysdelamour]

[Oh, Francis certainly loves flattery~]

That's very good to hear. And you've been staying nice and cozy in your apartment at night, oui?

[sequincy]

Do you sell them in this city?

Permavideo

[paysdelamour]

Unfortunately these three are not for sale, monsieur, I promised these three to a darling little girl whom I love very much. If she doesn't want them or if her papa won't let her keep them, I might sell one or all of them.

Mais, I might be persuaded into some sort of commission, if you have any ideas.

[sequincy]

- Oh, no, I was just going to ask if you had trouble attracting customers as a Newcomer. But I'll remember that you do commissions. [it could be a good gift idea...]

[paysdelamour]

Oh, you misunderstand me, monsieur - I'm a chef who works the night shift at Lion's Gate, not a professional painter. I haven't painted in a long while... mais, I thought it would be a good idea to start again. It was a hobby of mine, back home.
