"As one of the Fey of Art, yes, yes I can. I memorize faces. They are my second quality." She shrugged delicately. "Look, if you wish."

[нαℓƒ~мσση]

Emi approached the painting, her eyes appraising it. A smile curved her lips, "My, my. I never expected this."

[Deleted]

"No one does. Nude paintings take time, energy, and patience for most." Álainn smiled. "But your skin, your entire essence - it is pure, and took very little time to create." She peered at the painting. It showed the left breast, just the side, but most of it was a back with spirals down the spine, over the ribcage. Tattoos of dragons - that was what they were. A sweet Asian face rested against the shoulder, the cheekbones cupped against the collarbone. It was Emi's face. "Did I do alright?"

[нαℓƒ~мσση]

"Pure," Emi said with a chuckle and looked back at Alainn, "It is a very beautiful painting. I like it very much."

[Deleted]

She smiled again.

"You may take it, if you wish."

[нαℓƒ~мσση]

Emi reached for the painting, holding it in delicate hands, "Thank you, Alainn. I will cherish this gift."

[Deleted]

Álainn regarded her with soft, tender brown eyes. Her voice was stern, though held an edge of amusement. "You better, Emi. Come back tomorrow, if you so wish it. I look forward to seeing you. And, Emi?" She paused, smiling. "There will be other paintings of you."

[нαℓƒ~мσση]

Emi shook her head in amusement, heading toward the back door with the painting in her arms, "I shall look forward to seeing them, Alainn. I know you will make them even more beautiful."

[Deleted]

Álainn smiled.
"I will send you roses." She nodded. "Roses suit you. What color?"

[нαℓƒ~мσση]

The demoness paused by the door, hand on the doorknob, "Red. I prefer red."

[Deleted]

Álainn smiled. "Red it is." She turned towards her easel, palette back in hand and paintbrush spinning between her fingers. "Until next time, Emi."

The Next Day

Álainn was busy putting up her painting.

She was always allowed to put them on the wall in the paint shop, since Larry and other people liked them a lot.

This time, it was a picture of a flower.

But that was not the entire thing.

If you looked hard enough, there was a woman in the flower, a bare woman.

The now-human-form Fey smiled at her work, leaning back on her Converse-clad heels.

"Nice job." It was Larry at her shoulder.

"Thanks."

[нαℓƒ~мσση]

Emi pushed open the door to the paint shop. A pair of heels clicked faintly in the floor. She was dressed in a short black dress today, one that stopped mid-thigh. It had one strap that went over her right shoulder. Her sleek hair was pulled up in a high ponytail.

She looked around, a small smile on her lips.

[Deleted]

Álainn looked up.

She smiled softly, wandering over to Emi.

"Hello. You're the girl from yesterday. Do you need some advice, or something different?"

[нαℓƒ~мσση]

Her eyebrows raised slightly and she smiled, "Some advice would be nice. What kinds of things are good for a beginner to paint, what kind of brushes are good to use?"

[Deleted]

"For painting - I would do some nature paints. Try flowers, the sky. But if you want to do something a little more challenging, sit on a hill and look at the city and try and paint that." Álainn smiled and headed towards the brushes, wiggling her fingers, selecting a pack. "Here, these will go well."

[нαℓƒ~мσση]

Emi took the brushes from Alainn and smiled, "Thank you very much. I'll definitely try painting nature. Roses, probably. Always loved them."

[Deleted]

"Red, or white?" Part of her Fey nature showed. She flashed the key between her breasts, the outfit she had worn last night. And then she was normal again.

[нαℓƒ~мσση]

"Red roses are the best," A small smirk flashed on her face.

[Deleted]

Álainn smiled. "Too true. Well, I can ring you up, if you'd like. Oh! And, we have a painting class here every Sunday and Tuesday."

[нαℓƒ~мσση]

Emi brightened up, her dark eyes getting lighter, "Really? I'd like to come to those. How much?"
