[ He ducks his head around the canvas again to narrow his eyes at her.

Hmph. ]

I guess I could stir up trouble for you to gossip about.

[evocationary]

[she grins at him, and also winks?]

What kind of trouble?

[shaft]

I hear there are people who are dating...

[ claude: can u believe people are out there in relationships? whores. ]

[evocationary]

Like, already? Or after a week, because let me tell you, if someone managed to get it in a week, I'm going to be disappointed. In myself.

[shaft]

Are you on the lookout for a man, Lup?

[evocationary]

Lookout suggests desperation, so no.

That being said, I do like looking.

[shaft]

[ some crimson for her dress... ]

So what's you're assessment?

[evocationary]

[counting them off on her fingers:]

Cloud is very pretty, Jason's a dumbass but boy, those shoulders. Emet-Selch has got a nice face when he's not scowling. Kaeya's a peacock. Mollymauk is my favorite eyecandy. Sylvain's okay, if a little eager to please. Yuri's a handsome boy. Sheila is hot stuff and she knows it.

Oh, and of course, you're very handsome. [everybody else is babyzoned, super married to someone else, her children, or a sword]

[shaft]

[ He blinks a little at Sheila but... Yeah, same. ]

Your taste is very... Diverse.

[evocationary]

That's a fun word.

[shaft]

I'm not being duplicitous. I just mean I couldn't pinpoint your type.

[evocationary]

Awkwardly endearing nerds and pretty boys with charming tongues. And also Sheila.

[shaft]

I slot into the latter, right?

[evocationary]

Ohhh, I think you're both categories.

[shaft]

Now I'm feeling really flattered.

[ so excited for lup to see his painting ]

[evocationary]

[it's going to just be a blob that vaguely resembles lup i hope]

You should be! I'm not interested in just anybody, you know.

[shaft]

You're just buttering me up... But okay.

I think I'm done. [ He steps back from the canvas, hands on his hips. ] It's not bad.

[evocationary]

Oh my god. It's perfect! Ten out of ten.

[she wants to keep this wtf]

And you said you weren't an artist!

[shaft]

[ He looks a little surprised. ]

You really like it?

[evocationary]

Of course I do. I've never been drawn before.

[also, we're going to be yote out into the hallway... now. as i go to look up what colors you've cursed lup with.]

[shaft]

I'm glad I could—

[ WHOOP they are yeeted ]

... That wasn't too bad?

[evocationary]

[optimism, determination, sorrow, anger... this is the funniest combination of emotions.

she blinks, when they end up in the hallway, and just, immediately yells:] Hey, fuck you! I wanted to keep the drawing, room!

[shaft]

[ ... HELLO?

He just stares at her. ]

I'm really flattered you felt so strongly about it.

[evocationary]

[she turns to him, and immediately looks very, very sad. ):]

It didn't let me keep it... [uwehhhh]

[shaft]

L-

[ ??? puts a hand on her shoulder ]

I'll paint you another one.
