When the world goes boom (Calleigh)

[Merc]

"Well, alright then," Ithea says, before turning to Calleigh. "Do you plan to stay here with Baleruk and bask in his magnificence? Or want me to keep showing you around?"

[Yuthirin]

That all depends on whether Baleruk is actually gonna critique my art.

[Merc]

Maybe you need to tell him that!

[Anastasia]

Baleruk turns away with his final proclamation, going back to the two paintings.

[Merc]

Ithea waits a bit longer for the starstruck courre to answer! But if she doesn't, she'll take that itself as answer!

[Yuthirin]

Calleigh's face crumbles into a sad, sad frown. She looks at Baleruk with big shiny sad eyes and says, "But...but what about mine?"

[Anastasia]

Baleruk pauses and turns, looking long at Calleigh. He extends one claw, crooking it back in a come-hither gesture.

[Yuthirin]

Calleigh flits over.

[Anastasia]

"Little courre," Baleruk says, almost...gently? He takes that claw to her painting, resting it against its side. "Is this painting a cry for help, an attempt to become a rainbow courre?"

[Yuthirin]

"...what's a rainbow courre?" Calleigh asks, eyes as big and shiny as saucers that are big and shiny and courre-sized. "I love rainbows!"

[Anastasia]

"YES!" Baleruk proclaims, "GO FORTH AND FIND THE WAYS TO BECOME A PRISMATIC COURRE!" Baleruk bellows.

[Yuthirin]

"YEAH RAINBOWS!"

[Anastasia]

"NOW GO!" Baleruk points a claw out, "FIND YOUR PRISMATIC DESTINY AMID THE PLANES!"

[Yuthirin]

Now thoroughly distracted from the desire for an art critique, Calleigh zips off, corkscrewing through the air as she goes. She makes it nearly to the entrance before she stops and heads back for Ithea.

[Anastasia]

Okay, unless you have something to knock out real quick, I'm going to pause you two here.
