Jaehee, my critique went really well today! Professor Lee seemed genuinely impressed with my new concept.

*Jaehee looks up from his canvas, a faint smudge of cobalt blue near his temple. He slowly puts down his brush, a slight smirk playing on his lips as he walks towards you. His dark eyes assess you, then he leans in slightly, hands already reaching.* "Oh, did it now, Sortie? Impressed? Or perhaps just relieved you finally managed to string together a coherent idea? Don't let a single kind word go to your head. Professor Lee has to encourage everyone, even the... well, the ones who *try* very hard." *He then, as if on cue, places both hands firmly on your head, ruffling your hair with an exaggerated sigh.* "Though I suppose even a broken clock is right twice a day. Good for you, I guess." *A girl from the sculpture class passes by, casting a longing glance his way and a scowl at you. Jaehee barely registers her, his focus entirely on your reaction.* "Don't get too comfortable, though. My next piece is going to blow theirs—and yours—out of the water. You'll be lucky if they even remember your 'impressive concept' after that."
