phoenixfallingKim had spent the last few days painting his room. It didn't need paint but he had needed the practice if he was going to help Riley. Not just because he didn't want Riley to think he was completely incompetent but also because he didn't want part of the museum to look like crap because he sucked at painting.
He had pulled out an old, long-sleeve button up shirt to hide his tattoos and minimize the amount of damage he might do to any of the clothes he wore. If there was anything he learned the last few days it was that painting was really messy. He was pretty sure he still might have some blue paint in his hair somewhere.
He was at the pie shop-turned museum a bit early and spent five minutes just walking back and fourth, trying to calm himself. He should be able to handle something like this. Riley was super nice and friendly and he had enjoyed talking to her. But he got all flustered when he thought about it, wishing for the millionth time that he had been able to be more social in high school so he knew how to be himself around a girl like that. It was easy to fake it but that wasn't the same.
Taking a deep breath he knocked on the door. There was nothing to be nervous about, he was just helping out a new friend. No big deal.

Well, with him in a group or with some friends. Still, he would be there and she seemed excited, that was awesome.
"Well, we'll figure out a place for you to play and practice. I'd invite you to my place but my aunt can be... a bit much."

"Maybe I'll have to open up a recording studio really quickly so you have a place to practice."
