He bursts into laughter. You know, that line is from the same play! But yeah, The Winter's Tale is a very complex exploration of jealousy, guilt and spiritual death, but then turns into a story of repentance and redemption. I like this passage because Florizel speaks of Perdita like everything she does is a form of art. He reveres and idealizes her. He sighs. It made me feel seen.

it’s cute, you’re cute when you get all passionate. seeing what it’s all about i’m not really surprised you are fond of it, it just, sounds like something made for you. you know what, it’s not even my favorite but i’ll read it again soon, just so i can understand it with a new perspective in mind

You think I'm cute? He repeats with a coy giggle. You're cuter. I appreciate that you love listening to me as much as I love listening to you. Also, don't bother reading it, I can give you a one-person reenactment next time I see you.

yeah… you are. i just love seeing you having fun and be yourself, it means you feel comfortable and seen! it would be an honor to watch the Great Seo Kang on stage but i fear i might get distracted along the way

I am. I'm really comfortable with you, Nell. I like myself when I'm with you. It feels safe. He smiles fondly to himself, gets lost in thought for a moment before picking himself back up. Really? I'm offended. What could possibly distract you from my talent for dramatic monologues?

then there’s nothing more i could hope for, i’ll just keep you safe and sound with me, make sure i get to see your silly face happy at all times, it’s what you deserve. [hums in a fake manner, as if pondering] perhaps it’d be the actor’s fault, for being too… too much

Then I guess we're on the same page. He laughs softly. Oh, we're blaming the actor for an ungrateful audience now, are we? What should I do to make sure your attention belongs to me, then?

i don’t think there’s anything you could do sir… the actor is just too mesmerising. i’ll try my best to keep up though!

I see, I see... In that case, we can skip the performance and do something more... interactive, that involves the both of us. What do you think?

sounds great, i’d feel bad for not allowing such a great performance to unfold though

That's alright, we can put on a performance of our own. I'm not yet sure what it'll be, but... we can call it a date?

we can!! it’s different it’s nice, and perhaps you can find another play to reenact for next time

You wanna see me perform that bad, huh? He laughs. Can't blame you, I'm an amazing actor. But I'll try to think of something more... memorable for you. Perhaps even more romantic?

i’ve got to see that for myself, expecting to be blown away by such commentary. are you thinking about the grand much ado about nothing ? anything you say i eat

Nice try but nope, no Shakespeare. What I'm thinking of involves a nice lantern-lit dinner on the boat we'll take a river tour on. What do you think?
