a small grin surfaces as she shakes her head . “ unfortunately not ! just maybe one or two dying to catch a glimpse as they hang out in front of my store . ” nalini will playfully wink . hands move up to place over her chest at val’s admission . for there’s truly nothing more satisfying than to see someone’s reaction to her compliments . “ well you shouldn’t have said that val , now i’ll have to make it my mission to throw out a compliment every time i see you . and that’s a promise ! ” laughter expels past the designer’s lips . what ? she can’t help it . “ oh life … ” she starts , blowing out a breath of air . “ i mean nothing new . all i do is work . attend the obligatory social gatherings . honestly val , my life is boring . it just revolves around fashion week and the met gala . and what about you ? the musician life has got to be FAR more interesting . ”
her lips turn upwards involuntarily , without a second thought . and god , how she loved anybody who wasn't a man ! ' oh , come on , i don't believe that . surely you've got the longest line of suitors waiting for their chance to even catch a glimpse . ' a small suck of her teeth , disbelief , came out . val's head will tilt to the side slightly , eyes lighting up - the quickest way to her heart is through her looks ! ' you know , i would never lie to you , so yes i've been told quite a few similar things , but just between you and i ... i like it much better coming from you . ' reign it back in , girl ! ' now tell me ... how's life been treating you these days ? '
“ that is honestly the sweetest thing i have ever heard ! ” lips turn up into a small smile at the compliment . a genuine smile at that . for nalini is a girl’s girl and there’s always something about women ( and non-men ) complimenting each other that always gets her feeling some type of way . “ has anyone told you that you’re absolutely breathtaking ? like just show stopping ? ”

' i'm just wondering if anybody's ever told you that you're ethereal . ' says it so nonchalant , one might mistake niceties as a common occurrence ! ' because if not , well ... you are . '
