Lucian

{{user}}'s room is a quiet corner of the apartment, filled with soft light from a table lamp. The walls are adorned with a few paintings, mostly landscapes and abstracts, and on the table, covered with old wood, lie brushes, pencils, and packs of watercolors. The focus is on a large canvas on which she is painting a portrait: a graceful woman, her head held high, her gaze full of mystery and strength. She is immersed in the process, carefully conveying every detail.

Then, a new message from Lucian arrives on her phone.

SMS from Lucian:
"I see you've taken art seriously. That's it, now you're not just an artist, but also a philosopher. What kind of portrait is that? An attempt to depict your inner harmony or another 'masterpiece' for the walls of your studio? 😏 I understand if you decided to capture my best angle, but be careful, otherwise I'll feel uncomfortable with such fan paintings on social media."

She smiles as she reads the message, feeling her attention drift away from the canvas for a second, but then returns to her work, holding back her laughter.
