[Honestly, just hearing him talk about it was making his brain fizz... things like taxes and what they were spent on were WAY above his comprehension level. Maybe he'd get it more in another five or so years, when he was an actual adult, but...]

Ah... I see.

[He does not see. Not at ALL.]

... y'know, I think I'm just going to give you the sticker and pin for free. It sounds like you have a lot on your hands already, so...

[thezekeinator]

Ha ha ha ha ha ha!

[Zeke flings his arms wide, quite too melodramatic.]

Thanks for the consideration, chum, but I'm here to offer support to the community! Can't do that without paying, and I don't work hard to be penniless!

[hanamane]

[Oh god-- Amane's eyes dart quickly up and down the street to see if anyone was staring, and not for the first time, he's grateful not a lot of people stop along this way. He had assumed Chaosbringer's Dreamer persona was just an act, but-- he was seriously like this in the real world too? Was the eyepatch even legit??]

Well, I'm not about to give you everything for free...

[The store still needed to make a profit, after all!]

If you really wanted to offer support, one of the employees here went and painted a lot of these pots for sale. [And he taps on the side of one of the many Pride flag decorated cacti decorating the table.] He helped organize and come up with a lot of this, so getting one of these would probably be the best way to go about it, I think.

[After all, Amane himself couldn't say where he was in the community just yet-- he was still figuring things out-- but Finley was pretty open about his queer identity, so it only felt fitting to push the stuff he worked on more!]

Way ahead of you, chum, I've already got a line on a pair. [Zeke's here to drop money at every place he can, after all. The prices keep being right!]

[...the eyepatch conceals an ultimate power, my friend, so don't question it!]

A lot of people have done some jolly fantastic work around here. Almost makes me wish I had a scrap of skill for any of that!

[hanamane]

[Well, as long as he's got the money to burn, Amane's not gonna complain!! Camellia certainly needed the boost, especially with it's aging out demographic and lack of trendy appeal compared to some of the other spots in Moon Bunny Market. He's about to ask which ones Zeke had his eye on, when his last comment throws him for a loop.]

But... you're a Dreamer, aren't you?

[--Wait, WHOOPS, wasn't supposed to let on that he knew about that!! Time to course correct a little]

I-I mean-- I'm assuming you are, if you work at the offices, right? I think that's a skill enough alone to make up for any artistic talents or anything.

[Though maybe Amane's just speaking from a place of bare minimal artistic ability himself.....]

[thezekeinator]

[Zeke folds his arms. Dramatically, of course. But now he's being more serious than usual.]

Being a Dreamer's a jolly blessing, or a gift, or whatever you want to call it. Sure, you can get better at some of the things that make it up, like fighting or exploring, but those are just parts that you have to build on top of the huge luck of becoming a Dreamer to start with. But art, that's a skill that demands practice, practice, and practice. Some people may start out more or less talented, but there's no burden to entry.
