[artisticliberty]

[his expression lights up immediately]

Yes, of course. I have a room at the end of the hall set up, whenever you are ready.

[syckophant]

Well...

[Sucks in a breath, then lets it out slowly.]

I'm here already. Might as well, right?

[artisticliberty]

As you say. Please, follow me.

[he heads down to a smaller room at the end of the hall--what was most likely a patient consultation room once upon a time, it's been stripped of all equipment save for an adjustable lamp and sink, which currently has all of fox's art materials. several sheets have been laid down, one covering the wall as well, and there is a small sofa, only big enough for two people max, that's also covered in a white sheet]

[syckophant]

[Eichi does follow along, trying not to look too anxious.

He looks around the room once they get there, and he walks... toward the sheet, pausing for a moment to look at Fox before he just... slowly starts undressing.]

Will you help me pose? I have never done anything like this before.

[artisticliberty]

[////

glances away, being polite]

Yes, of course.

[syckophant]

[Laughs a little bit at the way he turns away.]

You've already seen me nude. Is watching me undress so much worse?

[artisticliberty]

[fluster fluster]

I-I have only seen you partially nude.

[dreams don't count...................right]

I understand watching makes some people uncomfortable, and I want you to be as comfortable as possible for this.

[syckophant]

Ah, I did cover myself with my wings before, didn't I?

[He doesn't cover himself now though, just carefully taking off his clothing and folding them, then setting it aside.]

But I'm fine with it now. After all, I've chosen to do this.

[artisticliberty]

Then...

[slowly he turns around, and to his credit fox doesn't immediately gawk at eichi. he's still blushing faintly, of course, but he keeps his gaze forward and neutral as possible]

Thank you for allowing me this opportunity.

[syckophant]

[It's a little wierd when Eichi can't help but remember the scarring he has... on his groin... but that's fine. Surely it won't be noted!!!]

No, thank you! I've never been painted before. It's quite an exciting prospect~

[artisticliberty]

[the dick scar will absolutely 100% be included in the final product]

Here, let me show you the pose I want you to take.

[fox lays down on the small couch with his legs dangling over the edge, crossed, with his back arched slightly, body held up by his elbows]

Something like this, generally. If it isn't comfortable with your wings, you can sit up more than this.

[syckophant]

[Eichi studies the pose for only a moment. He knows how to do it after a glance- his ability to learn to do something by simply watching is helpful in that, and this isn't even something difficult. Though Fox is right that his wings may make things difficult.

He nods, unfurling his silvery-white tail from around his leg as he makes his way over.]

I think I can handle that.

[artisticliberty]

[scoots off the sofa to give eichi room, and goes to sit at his easel, making finger frames and peering at eichi through them]

Good, thank you. Ah, move your right arm a little bit further back? Yes, perfect. Can you hold that pose for a while?

[fox has entered Artist Mode]

[syckophant]

[Just moves as he is asked to, his wail and wings moving to try to support whatever he can,t to make the pose a little easier to hold for some time.]

I should be able to, yes.

[artisticliberty]

Excellent.

[picks up his pencil to begin sketching, and then pauses]

Ah... there is just one small thing by your hair. May I adjust--?

[he approaches, oddly cautious, lifting his hand as though to touch but not until eichi gives consent]

[syckophant]

[He looks up at Fox, his eyes half-lidded as his smile spreads across his face.]

Of course~

You may adjust me as you will.

[artisticliberty]

Very well.

[delicately his fingers brush against eichi's cheek as he moves a few strands of hair out of the way]

Although the composition focuses on the body... I would hate for it to completely overshadow your face.

[syckophant]

[He can't help but sigh a little at the contact, his tail curling up a little, but he can contain himself well enough.]

You're too kind to me.

[artisticliberty]

Ah...

[good expression though. fox's hand lingers by eichi's cheek for a moment longer, distracted, before he reigns himself in and goes back to sit by his easel]

Then, I shall begin. Please try to sit as still as you can, but let me know if you feel uncomfortable.
