as long as you know what you're doing.

i've been giving blood to some other magical weirdo here ( this is said with ultimate fondness ) so just wanted to see if you needed any too.

you're a tiny little thing. make sure you're making up for the losses.

Oh? Is the big mean villain concerned about a bitch like me?

That was kidding, if you couldn't tell. I've been doing those blood draws since I was out of kindergarten, and 2am is just when they're most effective. Saliva, blood, and arousal fluids carry magical energy, and my family's specialty is infusing objects with power. With your generous donation I'll be well enough not to pass out.

can't be a bitch if you're dead.

whatever. eat or don't, i'm not your dad.
if you need more money, let me know.

If it's all the same to you, I'd rather earn it next time.

learn how to take a sexy picture then.

There isn't any type of work I could do for you in exchange?

[Well. Her answer isn't a "no".]

what, i don't get you going?

YOU get ME going? I thought this was about pictures from me to you?

Wouldn't I be the one paying if it's the other way around? But if you get a thrill from showing off that's another matter entirely... You do have attractive musculature.

we both get paid if we both get off.
thought it was win win. i don't show off.

'attractive musculature'.....
guess i'll take it.

What do you mean "I guess"? I've seen legends like King Arthur and Cu Chulainn. You're up against men and women who have carved their name eternally into human history, and here I am giving you positive remarks despite that.

Though I think maybe the other parts about you I find compelling you'd complain are "unsexy".

i was the runt of the family.
i look the worst out of all of them.

are they sexy to you, or just compelling?

Sexy isn't all about vanity.

Well, maybe it is if you're just shooting back messages, but to be compelled is like the first spark of finding out if it's sexy or not. If you want an example, how about your eyes? Usually they feel cold and harsh, but they were different when you looked up at me when I was putting your face back on.

I like them both ways.

kinda hard to look cold and harsh when your face is falling apart.

You managed it just fine before letting me in your suite.

fair enough. guess i don't look at my own face enough to know what it's like.

It's actually not as bad as you make it sound, but it's possible I have a skewed perspective. In fact if I had to pick a least-attractive part of you it wouldn't be your looks.

It'd be the cigarette smell.

yeah, you and him both i bet.

that's not gonna change, but if you wanna get your expensive perfume all over me, be my guest.

I'd pick a different scent for you to wear. Perhaps still tobacco forward, but mixed with other things. Perhaps bourbon and bergamot? The citrus scent would probably help. In fact if I infuse the cologne with a little magecraft I could probably even get the scent to be mostly masked.

The profile I have in mind for you would be dark, and alluring. Reminiscent of red velvet furniture, black leather jackets, and smokey wood.

[Rin, he probably didn't mean it like that. Shut up.]

got it. i'll pass that along to my stylist.

[Even she can tell that's sarcasm.]

I put a lot of thought into that.

[She's so bad at connecting with people...]

What about you? What are *you* wearing?

i know you did. if you find something that fits all that, i'll wear it.

shirt. pants. shoes. the smell of about five cigarettes.

Why find it when I can make it? But before I do, what would you want to smell like?

Fully dressed? Are you out and about?

dunno. i'll try your recommendation first.

needed to take a walk, think over some things. next time i'll go in my underwear.

My doors are open until 3am if you're looking for a rest stop.

dress code?
