Upon seeing the young artist, Walker immediately furrowed her brows at him. Something about him seemed... Off. Like he was a nest of contradictions, one that would take forever to piece apart the traditional method. Look who was thinking. There - of course - laid the more obvious fact that he just looked like he had no class. His face, his words... All too rough. The artist genuinely seemed like the individual - at least in her eyes - who would talk and talk without a single filter in sight... Always an annoyance when Walker detected it.
How inconvenient! the older woman thought with a scowl, How does this fellow function?
She coughed into her sleeve before quietly uttering, "You... You hold too many complexities within yourself. I have a feeling that they impede your ability to act as a person, and that includes your... Ummmm... Social capability." Again, back at it with the hypocrisy, huh? The fallacies present in her own argument lingered in the back of her mind even as she shuffled her feet. It required so, so much restraint for her to not totally put the man down... And herself as well in the process. "People are naturally inclined to interact with others, so your deviation is unfortunate for both those who wish to know you and yourself."
Then she remembered: Is he not a painter?
"On the other hand," Walker piqued with a raised brow, "Isolated folk like yourself do come off as more creative than the average person. Perhaps overly so. But you believe your mind is more vibrant than the world outside of it, which..." She trailed off. Is a bit concerning, she almost wanted to utter. Thank goodness the aristocrat didn't. It would've been another contradiction, another liability. "Is interesting," she actually finished, although it was clear from the lack of inflection that she didn't exactly mean it. "Too interesting, maybe... But it seems to serve you fine for the time being, I suppose?" It wasn't her proudest moment, but it was something at the very least.
