There was something special about her, something that made his heart leap.
"Thanks!" the boy chirped. "I'm really psyched that you like it--and you're right, I should probably put my name on it. It's a keeper." Did she really think he was comparable to one of the greats? Levi had never been this flattered before and he was convinced now that art was not a waste of time. It was something to be shared.
"You know what? I think it's the nicest picture I've ever drawn," he blurted out, giving way to a blush.
Aww, he was so sweet! Ava Jade grinned at his enthusiasm. "Well I'm quite flattered to be the subject of your greatest work," she said, noticing his face's change in color. Teasing, she continued, "I wish I could say I actually did something important...buuut I'm afraid modeling really isn't too difficult an occupation." She laughed. "Other than sitting still -- which is a devil, by the way -- there's really nothing to it!"
"So what other subjects have you sketched?" Ava Jade asked. "Ever tried drawing places on the Hogwarts grounds or anything like that?"
