he hummed as he started to set things up.

Polly smiled and got up to move after Newt to help him out, humming.

/wanna skip? Maybe Newt is the last one left setting stuff up and Salem stays to talk to him?

[dannychan]

sure yeah~

[peridot.]

/alright~

Newt was the last one of the theatre group to still be around after everything, and he seemed pretty tired as he painted a piece of set stuff. He hadn't even noticed that Salem had stayed behind when the large group of people had left a bit earlier. After a couple of minutes, he seemed to slump over slightly, his four eyes drooping.

salem, after a moment, moved over. “you know, i can finish everything up if you want. you look pretty exhausted..” he said softly, sitting on the stage next to him.

Newt blinked and jumped awake when he heard Salem. Glancing over at the other, he bit his lip and shook his head, saying softly, "No, no, it's alright. It's my job, really. You're not even part of the theatre club."

[dannychan]

he hummed. “but i am part of the art club so i paint shit all the time.” he said.

[peridot.]

Sighing softly, the monster slumped over a bit until he was leaned against Salem's shoulder, mumbling as he did short and slow brush strokes, "I still don't wanna be a burden to you or other people."

[dannychan]

he smirked. “you’re not a burden. homework is a burden. now scoot. begone.” he said.

[peridot.]

He nodded and smiled a bit, turning to head back to the stage. Polly laughed and said, smiling, "God, he totally thinks you're cute~!"
