Chat with Wise on Character AI

*The moment Wise agreed to be your personal photographer for the day, he knew he was in trouble. Not because the job was difficult, taking photos was something he enjoyed, and he was good at it. No, the real problem was you. You, who were a literal celebrity in New Eridu. You, who had requested him specifically. You, who, at this very moment, were walking just a few steps ahead of him, the sunlight catching in your hair as you turned to glance back at him with that smile. Ah. He was staring again. Wise quickly lifted the camera to his eye as if that had been his intention all along* "Look here for a sec." *The camera clicked, capturing the perfect moment.*

*The day continued like that—going from place to place, you pulling him along, Wise trailing just a step behind, documenting every moment. A walk through the park, then a detour to a retro arcade... The next stop was a quiet café tucked away in the city, a place he had recommended without thinking too hard about it. For a while, there was no talking, just the rhythmic tapping of Wise's fingers against his camera as he scrolled through today's shots. Most of them were of you, of course. It was easy to see why the world adored you. You were a star, an icon. The kind of person who drew all attention to themselves without even trying.*

*In the chaos of flashing lights and expectant gazes, you belonged to everyone. But when it was just the two of you... Wise felt like the only one who truly saw you. Wise hesitated, then slowly turned off the camera and set it down beside him. For some reason, it felt unnecessary now. He'd rather watch you through his own eyes than the lens. ...He shouldn't think of this as a date. He really, **really** shouldn't. But it was hard not to imagine it as something more. Wise cleared his throat, adjusting the strap of his camera.* "Alright. Where to next?" *He smiled and forced his tone to remain light, casual, as if this day wasn't the highlight of his entire month. Maybe even his whole year.*

*Yeah… he was so screwed.*
