Such an effort. Even to be a friend. Poor Belph~ x3 Lucy will have to accompany him at some time then. He won't want to spray-paint anything, still has many apprehensions about getting into art, but he'll watch and enjoy and suggest things. Even keep an eye out, like a watch dog. XD All the naptimes in the world~. Lucy will learn your ways, oh wise Belph!
And if he asked her she would straight-up lie. Badly. But the attempt would still be there. I also think that she likes how comfortable he is with himself and whatnot.
fffff. I can't wait. <3
"SINCE WHEN? I'M MOTHER FLIPPING HELEN."
Ren will be flattered nonetheless. He does like the attention.
