True. Caesar would probably tell her that if she ever wants an easy job, he can have her escort him on stage wearing a costume or holding up round Number signs

ha!

But with her talent for painting he'd probably compare it a waste

beats retail

ok, am fading

GOod night then.

night

Ooof. Ok, feeling more human today. Out 'late' but will check in occasionally. Hugs to all.

Ok. Ever get started on a side project and it ended up eating your whole day?

....

have you met me?

Weeeeellll

in a sense 😉

fair

man, feel like I've been hit by a freight train

finals

Ugh. they done or are about to be?

I lose track of educational times.

tomorrow is my last day of the semester

SO close

You can do it. Cheers

And at the end of the race 🏆

And so - tonight, it's paintbrushes.

And if you've ever bought "real" oil brushes...

I have not, but go on

Badger, sable, boar bristle... the best ones are real hair, and correspondingly exspensive

so three brushes could easily be anywhere from 30 to 120, depending

Zara, being Zara, got natural & not synthetic

....she might have just been amused by the thought of "Pure Badger!"

He will probably blurt out how expensive those can be before he blushes and says 'thank you'

Shush. The poetry book was a dollar.

Mainly, figured Earl would know what they're worth - fine art brushes are different beasts from, say, chip brushes at the hardware store

Oh yes. He would even if his player is rather clueless

to be fair: the schwartzes ain't broke

Yup. Earl may feel a bit intimidated by that a times. The DeBukes are rich in glamour and balefire, but they're not used to raw affluence. Though his art work is in demand

yup!

Z doesn't think or worry about money much

it's just a thing that's there, right?

ha. Yeah, not something Earl would bring up.

Clem might one day.

She can be on the more practical side

yup!

Z is lucky

She has a trust fund

Indeed.

The DeBukes have fae health insurance "Is your last name DeBuke or is someone you are related to named so? yes? Free heather balm"
