Huh? Model for you?

I mean — sure, of course! I'd love to! But...I mean, I'm not exactly a model, myself...

[penpoint]

Yeah. Model for me. It's a bit different from when I normally just...draw you.

[ which, to be fair, he does a lot ]

Sure you are. If you model for me, you're acting as a model.

[doreimi]

Oh, you know what I meant. I don't exactly look like the girls in the magazines, that's all!

[penpoint]

They're boring looking. I don't want to draw someone boring.

You're way better than them.

[doreimi]

...I promise I'm not just fishing for compliments, by the way. It's just habit. I'm not used to thinking of myself as anything other than...

...well, pretty normal.

1/2

[penpoint]

I didn't really think I was giving out any compliments -- [ oh. well. good. ]

You're going to have to get used to the idea that I don't consider you to just be normal. Maybe you'll realize it eventually, too. I --

[penpoint]

I guess I just have to remind you, then, huh?

[doreimi]

...Yeah. I guess that couldn't hurt.

[ c: ]

So! Modeling, huh. What are you going to have me do? Ball gowns? Swimsuits? Funny poses??

[penpoint]

[ He makes that mental note. Though it only ever comes up naturally to him anyway. ]

Yeah. Well, with you I have a couple in mind. A couple of nice dresses, particularly.

A swimsuit? I thought...

[ he doesn't say, he knows she's sensitive about her scars ]

[doreimi]

...It's my decision to say yes or no. But that doesn't mean you can't still ask.

[penpoint]

Well, you don't have to in this case. I do have a dress which shows a lot of back, though. But you can tell me yes or no when you see it.

Maybe when it's a little warmer I'll ask.

[doreimi]

Well...you're not going to draw the scars, right? You're just using me as a model for a character or something, yeah?

So...that's a little different. You're the only one who'll see them.

[penpoint]

I get that they're a big deal. So I wasn't planning on drawing them. And yeah, I'm using you as a model for a character. Usually by the time I'm done, it's only a vague resemblance.

I have a lot of drawings of you as you, as it were, but you're the only one who gets to see those. It's different from a character, of course.

[ he's not kidding when he says a lot, which he's sure she knows ]

[doreimi]

And seeing them won't bother you? I mean...obviously I've shown them to you before, more than once, but...

Well, I would understand, I guess is what I mean. If seeing them bothered you.

[penpoint]

No.

[ he hopes not. ]

They're scars. I think of it this way: when I give characters scars, it's a way to tell a story without having to say a word. So yours are like that.

[doreimi]

That's what I'm worried about.

You already know the story. No, maybe I should say...you can't ignore that story, even if you want to. That's what worries me.

[penpoint]

...You think it'll change how I look at you?

[ ... ]

Reimi.

[doreimi]

I think it'll make you sad, Rohan.

I don't want to be the reason you're sad.

[penpoint]

Well, it might. It's impossible to forget. ...But do you plan to keep them from me forever? Or rather, as long as we're both here?

[doreimi]

Huh?

...Keep them from you? Well...um, no, I guess not, but...

Are you saying...that you WANT to see them?

[penpoint]

I want you to trust that I'll be okay when I do.

And, yeah, of course I do. I guess you'll have to trust that I'd tell you if I couldn't deal.

[doreimi]

...Then let's try. Someday. One of these days. You tell me when.

I want to try, because I do trust you.

[penpoint]

Alright. I'll tell you when, then.
