"It's beautiful," Alice said in awe of his artwork, unaware for a split second that she had vocalized the thought. Her artistic talent was limited to swirling doodles in the corners of her journals, but to create something that sparkled was a beautiful thing all on its own. Still, to have commented on it unprompted caused her cheeks to flush in embarrassment. "Sorry," she offered in a quick attempt to hopefully smooth over any awkwardness. "Mine is just not as well designed." Alice spread hers out for his inspection to help her explanation, though she soon rolled it back up and slid it out of the way. There was no need to take up space with two identical charts.

Although he was clearly the superior intelligence here (or was she just still in awe over the work of art he produced) he had turned to her for advice. "Drafting will probably be a better start. We can always check them once we have the layout mostly thought out."
