It was something she had gotten very used to doing; not really taking compliments. So when he made the point that the squid she was drawing looked like it was real enough to jump off of the paper at any moment, she smiled shyly.<br/><br/>He advised her to take pride in her artwork, which was ironic because that was something she struggled with ever since she first started drawing. She nodded, even though she found it to be a struggle to truly be proud of her work. But when he mentioned that artists can be their own worst critics, she felt the words hit her like a sack of Hogwarts acceptance letters.<br/><br/>She had never heard that saying before, and therefore, it hit her so very profoundly. “Wow,” she murmured, quietly. Hopefully he didn’t hear that. After a moment, he responded to her introduction by introducing himself with his given name. “It’s nice to meet you,” she quietly offered, giving him a somewhat awkward wave from her seat.<br/><br/>Rey went on to say that he was sure they hadn’t met yet, to which Quinn shook her head in agreement. He further expressed that he was sure he would have remembered her face. She wanted to ask what made him so sure about that, but she couldn’t muster the courage. Her cheeks flushed as she considered the implications behind his words, but thankfully, he moved onto another topic.<br/><br/>He asked where she was from, clearly being able to tell that she wasn’t from the UK thanks to her American accent. She chuckled quietly. “That obvious, is it?” She kept a smile on her lips.  “I’m from Indiana.” She said without much thought. “In the United States,” she added, just in case Rey wasn’t familiar. Not many people she met seemed to know Indiana after all, and it wasn’t at all surprising to Quinn.<br/><br/>“What about you?” She asked, more so as a matter of polite conversation. If he didn’t want to share, then she wouldn’t push.
