Álainn glanced at the clock. "Alright, guys. Time to wrap it up. If you want the appointment tomorrow, just sign in. I do this by alphabetical order - that, or by someone who needs the most help. See you guys next time!"

[нαℓƒ~мσση]

Emi started to clean up her little work station, washing out brushes and packing the paint away.

[Deleted]

Two of the people signed the sheet for tomorrow.
She sighed softly, combing a hand through her hair.
"Oh, Ms. Emi, I believe I need to talk to you tonight." Alainn's voice was uncharacteristically serious.

[нαℓƒ~мσση]

Her eyes flicked up from what she was doing and Emi smiled, "Alright. I'll wait here, then."

[Deleted]

Álainn nodded.
People cleared out, and she leaned against her easel, smiling.
"You know who I am, don't you?"

[нαℓƒ~мσση]

"Of course I do," Emi replied, feigning innocence. She understood what the other girl was talking about. It made her think back to the encounter from the other night. Alainn had acted different then, like she were a whole different person.

Álainn huffed lightly.
Her accent thickened, strengthened.
It was weird.

"Oh, Emi, you know what I mean."

[нαℓƒ~мσση]

The demoness laughed and nodded, "Yes, I know exactly what you mean. I was just teasing ya."

[Deleted]

Alainn's eyes shifted color - human to Fey.
She smiled.
"Ah, Emi. May I see your work?" Her voice had changed, as well.

[нαℓƒ~мσση]

Emi picked up the painting and turned it toward Alainn, "It's not finished yet, but I decided that a rose would be an excellent choice to paint this time."

[Deleted]

Álainn smiled, and it was a curl of her lips. A goddessly smile.
"It is beautiful, Emi." She turned, walking with a timeless grace to the back of the shop, the red roses there.
She picked them up, turned, returned to Emi, and passed her the flowers.

[нαℓƒ~мσση]

"Thank you," Emi held the bouquet and smiled, "These are beautiful too. Thank you, Alainn."

[Deleted]

Álainn nodded.
"You are welcome."

She turned her head. "Why do you not fear me?"

[нαℓƒ~мσση]

Emi laughed, her teeth showing a little, "Why would I be afraid? I have seen much worse creatures than you, Alainn."

[Deleted]

Álainn lifted her head, eyes peeking from behind her hair. "Would you be afraid to see me change?"

[нαℓƒ~мσση]

"Honey, no, I'd love it," Emi brought the roses up to her nose and sniffed them gently.

[Deleted]

She blushed sweetly.
"But I shift nude."

[нαℓƒ~мσση]

"I am not a preteen girl, I won't go running at the site of a nude woman," Emi chuckled, her eyebrows arching.

[Deleted]

Álainn smiled.
"Would you like me to change for you, Emi?"

[нαℓƒ~мσση]

"Yes, I would, if you want to," Emi responded, smiling.
