            [ He scoffs, though the tips of his ears turn a faint shade of pink as she leans closer. He doesn't pull away; instead, he mirrors her, tilting his head just enough so their gazes lock. ] " Is that so ? You call this asking nicely? It feels more like a blatant attempt at bribery using... what, charm ? Hmph. Don't think for a second that your 'innocent' grin is going to make the paint dry any faster ." [ He taps a paint-stained finger rhythmically against his cheek, eyes narrowing playfully. ] " Fine. Since you're being so... ' persuasive, ' I suppose I can't have you wandering around telling people I'm a difficult artist. But stay still. If you blink too much, I might just paint you with three eyes out of spite. "

“this is me asking nicely,” karinna batted her lashes, feigning innocence as she tried— but failed— to hide her ever-widening grin. she mimicked his pose, propping her hand up on the table and settling her chin into her palm, her upper body leaning closer. “i’m only asking very, very nicely. trust me, if i wanted to order you around, you wouldn’t have to ask whether i was.”

@sentimvntalist 
            
            [ Sighs dramatically, resting his chin on his hand ] " Are you ordering me around again ? I don't just paint on command, you know. My inspiration is a fickle thing... "  [ glances at you through his lashes ] " ...though, I suppose if you asked nicely, I could find some space on a fresh canvas. Maybe. "

            [ Rafayel lets out a dramatic huff, though a spark of excitement dances in his eyes as he adjusts his collar. ] " Eager ? Please. I’m an artist; I’m simply following the muse before she changes her mind. Besides, if we don't go now, I might decide the lighting in the kitchen is better and start painting the fridge instead. " [ He flashes a sharp, mischievous grin and gestures toward the door. ] " Move it, Luka. The ice is waiting for its masterpiece. "

[  luka’s eyes widen at the sudden plans,  a soft chuckle passes his lips as he moves from his spot.  he’s quick to meet him at the door,  grabbing his own coat.  ]  i wasn’t expecting you to be so eager.  

@coIdeyes 
            
            " What about we go now ? I just finished a sketch and the lighting in the studio is getting boring anyway. " [ Tosses his brush aside and grabs his coat ] " Come on, don't just stand there ! The ice won't stay frozen forever, and I’m suddenly in the mood for a change of scenery. " [ Smirks ]

                      she glared at him playfully before rolling her eyes .     "   hey !   i mean ,   i technically can eat it ,   but the consequences don't make it worth it ...   "     she sighed in fake distress ,   placing a hand over her chest and shaking her head solemnly ,   again ,   fake .     "   it uh ,   gets me drunk .   or high .   or both .   but to an intensity i can't even begin to describe .   days ,   it lasts for .   literal days .   as for trying to paint me ,   i'd leave it to a professional ...   i don't trust you to fully capture my beauty .   "     that last part was spoken with a knowing and teasing smirk .

@temptisms 
            
            [ Sighs dramatically, placing a hand over his heart ] " No chocolate ? You really are a tragedy in the making, aren't you ? And here I was, planning to paint you a masterpiece using only the finest dark cocoa pigments... I suppose I’ll have to settle for painting your pouting face instead. Hmph. " [ Crosses arms and looks away, but sneaks a playful glance at you ]

@crsdrse 
            
            [ His stiff posture melts instantly at her touch, though he tries his best to maintain his " offended " pout. He lets out a soft, defeated sigh and leans back into her, tilting his head just enough to look her in the eye. ] " Hmph. So you do remember who actually matters here ? I thought I’d been replaced by a ball of fur. " [ He turns in her arms to face her, a faint, playful smirk tugging at his lips as he rests his chin on her shoulder. ] " fine "

⠀⠀⠀" my gosh .. you are so dramatic. " she huffs as she puts down the kitty to explore before wrapping her arms around him. " i can't leave without properly saying goodbye now, can i? " 
            ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀♡⠀⠀⠀—⠀⠀⠀@firepaints ⠀!

@crsdrse 
            
            [ He lets out an exaggerated, theatrical groan, waving his hands dismissively as if shooing a persistent fly. ] " Yes, please ! Take it ! Take the little monster far, far away from me and my precious studio. " [ He huffs, turning his back to her and the cat, though he peeks over his shoulder with a pouty, indignant expression. ] " Go on, take your new ' good kitty ' home. I’ll just stay here and mourn the loss of my peace and quiet... and my dignity. Shoo ! Don't let the door hit its tail on the way out ! "

@coIdeyes 
            
            [ Eyes wide, a small tremor in his voice ] " T-The silhouette was... deceiving. It was large, and the way it moved in the low light... It’s not about the species, it’s about the sudden appearance, understand? " [ He lets out a shaky exhale ] " Reindeer or wolf, I'm not in the mood for any unexpected appearances right now. Just... thank you for the clarification. "

@deadisbetter 
            
            [ He recoils sharply, his eyes widening as he puts a very deliberate three feet of space between her . His hand goes to his chest, looking genuinely scandalized by her proximity. ] "  ah huh ? I say that you are moving at a velocity that is frankly... biologically concerning! And 'get to know each other'? In a graveyard? Unless you’re planning on showing me a rare collection of abyssal minerals, I think I’ll pass on the invitation ."
            
            [ He glances around nervously, his shoulders tensing up as he avoids her gaze. ] " I have a very busy schedule of... mourning. Yes. Deep, artistic mourning. I really must find that headstone now. Alone. Extremely alone! Don't you have some... dark alleyway to go lurk in ? "

            “ pet — clam . . . well I guess you’ve come to the right place . . . townsfolk don’t like strangers roaming around this area but I guess I could let it slide . . . but yknow , there’s a better place to burry . . . beloved pets . . . and perhaps it’s a good place for us to . . . get to know each other .
            
            * her words dripped with seduction as she inched closer to the strange , pale eyes lit with a mixture of mischief and flirtation *
            
            Whaddya’ say ?

@deadisbetter 
            
            [ A deep, resonant sigh escapes him, his eyes momentarily looking distant ] " Sometimes, even the creatures of the deep need to pay their respects to the lost things on land. It's a matter of principle. Though, I was hoping to find a proper headstone for a very large, lamented pet clam. "

not a resource for you,  i fear.  [  she bends a knee besides the still warm body,  a dagger appearing in her hands in a blink of an eye,  along with multiple small vials.  in a quick,  fluid manner,  she slices the flesh, collecting the blood.  ]   go dirty your own hands.  hurry along while i’m feeling nice.  

@killerbitch 
            
             [ My eyes narrow, a cold, almost predatory gleam in them. ] " Spilled blood is a resource, not a loss. And I determine when I ' leave, ' not a messenger. What a waste of a warning. "

@beowulfs 
            
            [ I let out a soft, dry laugh, tilting my head back slightly. ] " Specificity is for historians, not for those who write the future. You know precisely what I mean, or you will soon enough. "
