Chapter 85: Art cave

"Soo Nora, what are you doing here?!" Kan asked, his voice carrying a playful lilt, enjoying the intrigue of their unexpected meeting.

"Oh nothing, just went to get some supplies and on my way back up, I saw you trying to break the door with your head. What's up with that?" Nora inquired, her smile sly and her eyes alight with mischief.

"Hehehe..don't mind me. So you said supplies huh? What kind? You...you want to cook?" Kan interjected, steering the conversation away from his peculiar door-opening attempt.

"Oh no, far from that!" Nora dismissed the culinary notion, laughing softly at Kan's raised eyebrows.

"No that! I cook, yes. But that's not what I went to get. Look!!" Nora revealed, extending the bag towards Kan.

"All I see here are a bunch of brushes and paints! You want to use that for something in particular? Would have said cooking but you already X'ed that!" Kan feigned confusion, his eyes dancing with amusement.
