Millie: Man for some reason I have such a toxic love hate relationship with mechanical pencils. Pax: I guess I get that. They do tend to break a bunch.
Millie: Oh no, I absolutely adore them! Especially for drawing!
Millie: But for some reason they all HATE ME!
Pax: The Pencils? Millie: Apparently!!
Pax: Look, I have like a whole box of em. Ima just go ahead and give it to you and save us both the time and heartache.
Millie: What? Oh no it’s ok really! I’m sorry I’m not trying to take your pencils or anything! Pax: No seriously it’s fine.
