remi's gaze lingered on the ruined section of the painting for a moment before returning to him. a faint smile tugged at the corner of her mouth, equal parts amused and unapologetic. "delicate, maybe.. but genius is a bit of a stretch." she folded her arms loosely, head tilting. "besides, if a few accidental fingerprints are enough to destroy your masterpiece, perhaps you shouldve been more careful with it."
            
            "though..." she conceded after a brief pause, "i suppose I am relieved you can salvage it.. that way I dont have to listen to your whining. and ill certainly try to be more careful next time."

            [ He crosses his arms, tilting his head as his eyes narrow into a dramatic, exaggerated pout. A soft sigh slips past his lips, dripping with theatrical heartbreak. ] " Fixable ?  Do you have any idea how much delicate genius went into those specific brushstrokes ? You can't just slap a 'fixable' label on a tragedy ! " [ He steps a fraction closer, peering down at the smudge with a helpless shake of his head, though a faint, teasing smirk threatens to break through his tragic facade. ] " But fine... since it was an accident, I suppose I can salvage it. If you promise to keep those clumsy hands to yourself next time. "

            [ Sighs dramatically, crossing his arms with a pout ] " Never coming back ? Wow, is that how little faith you have in me, Edene ? I'll have you know I was counting down the days. " [ Leans in closer, eyes softening into a smile ] " But fine... since you missed me so much, I guess I can forgive you. It’s good to be back. "

            [ A slow, infuriating smirk hooks the corner of his mouth. He tilts his head, trailing a lazy, amused gaze over the other , entirely unfazed by the sudden outburst. ] " Oh, so you can tell ? Good. For a second there, I thought I was going to have to spell it out for you. And what if I am ? What are you going to do about it... make me stop ? "

@vesperss 
            
            [ A slow, knowing smile touches his lips, though his eyes remain sharp, scanning the other's face for any hint of a lie. He leans in just a fraction closer, tilting his head with an air of playful skepticism. ] " Oh ? Just someone you recognized ? " [ Rafayel lets out a soft, amused huff, though the protective warmth in his gaze is unmistakable. ] " You're a terrible liar, you know that? If someone is bothering you, just tell me. I have plenty of ways to make people disappear from your sight for good ."

      ₍  his deadpanned expression doesn't shift an inch.  his shoulders give a heave, a resignated sigh loudly - obnoxiously - puffed out his nose.   he brings up a hand, pushing up frames over the curve of his nose.   ₎     i'm not... ₍  he motions vaguely ₎   questioning any of what you've got going on.   the area's just cornered off and restricted right now, so .. can't you just come back later?

            [ He scoffs, tossing his head back as a few stray strands of hair fall over his eyes. A dramatic sigh escapes his lips, crossing his arms over his chest as he glares at the screen with an exaggerated pout. ] " A bad time ? Please. Inspiration doesn't wait for a convenient schedule, and neither do I! If the scenery is a mess, then it’s art. If it's a disaster, it's a masterpiece in the making. Are you questioning my artistic vision? Because that is the only bad timing here. "

            [ He lets out a sharp, wounded gasp, dropping his hands to his sides as his jaw practically hits the floor. He follows her with an incredulous stare, utterly offended by her lack of appreciation for his presence. ] " Be your guest ? Cry after you leave ?! " [ He scoffs, crossing his arms tightly over his chest and huffing, a deeply dramatic pout settling on his lips. ] " The absolute disrespect. You should be begging me to grace you with my tears ! Fine, go look in the mirror and admire your completely intact, perfectly safe hair. But don't come crying to me when you miss my performance. Hmph ! " [ He turns his back to her completely, shoulders tense with theatrical rejection, though he's practically vibrating with the urge to see if she's going to apologize. ]

(The sight completely misses her. Hah, it shows where her priorities truly lies! Brows pull in concentration and a hand busy with fixing the unruly strands of her hair, huffing out.)  Yeah yeah, knock it off with the dramatics won't you. How about this- you can be my guest and cry as much as you want *after* I leave, not around me!  (Her eyes roll.)

@yaoiblunt 
            
            [ He gasps, throwing a hand over his chest as if physically wounded, his eyes widening in pure, theatrical offense ] " Excuse me ?! Burnt ? I am a master of my craft, an artist! I would never let a single stray spark touch a masterpiece and yes, I suppose your hair counts as one. You’re threatening me ? The audacity ! If anyone should be crying here, it’s me for having my flawless coordination questioned. Hmph. " [ He crosses his arms, turning his head away with a pout, though he sneaks a glance back to make sure she is actually looking. ]

@yaoiblunt 
            
            [ He scoffs, though the amused sparkle in his eyes completely betrays him. He crosses his arms, leaning back against the nearest wall with a theatrical sigh. ] " A dinner date ? Please. I am a very busy, very soughtnafter artist, Naim. I don't need to resort to 'maze trickery' to get a meal with someone. "
            
            [ His lips twitch into a knowing, lopsided grin as he watches her point wildly in three different directions. He takes a single, deliberate step toward the path she finally settled on, raising an eyebrow. ] " Right is always right, hm? Well, your flawless logic and total lack of hesitation definitely inspire absolute confidence. Lead on, oh great maze master. I’ll just start looking up reservations for that five-star restaurant now ."

Just say you want to score a dinner date with me, man. (Naim deadpans. She can't even spare a pity laugh...) Okay. *Okay.* You know what? Let's go.. uh- uhmmm, this- no- that way. We're going right.. because right is always right..!

@yaoiblunt 
            
            [ He tilts his head, a smooth, predatory little smirk tugging at the corner of his mouth. His eyes narrow slightly, gleaming with pure amusement. ] " Did you really just refer to yourself as  'cute ol '  to get out of being hopelessly lost ? Nice try, but it's going to take a lot more than a pretty face to convince me you actually know where the exit is. Lead the way, then, ' pro ' but if we hit a dead end, you owe me a personal tour of the nearest five-star restaurant. "
