shaft | hotel: lup

[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]

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

Your taste is very... Diverse.

That's a fun word.

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

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

I slot into the latter, right?

Ohhh, I think you're both categories.

Now I'm feeling really flattered.

[ so excited for lup to see his painting ]

[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.

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.

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

[she wants to keep this wtf]

And you said you weren't an artist!

[ He looks a little surprised. ]

You really like it?

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.]

I'm glad I could—

[ WHOOP they are yeeted ]

... That wasn't too bad?

[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!
