Oh my, another family member? There are far too many by half, I feel like I must be related to the entire world these days. Not that I mind, really - it's a nice change. =)
Also, you really don't need to gift me with any pastels. I won't, however, turn it down if you insist, because what starving artist turns down free supplies? (Not to say I'm starving anymore, but I used to be. Those were the days.)
