			            Nathaniel gave a sad half smile and shook his head.  "It was fine to ask. I said I was happy to talk about anything" he replied, standing up and stretching.  "And I know you don't like to speak of your family so I won't. I will ask about the cats though. How long have you had them and how did you come by them?"

			             ❤ M I T S U K I N I ❤ S A G E ❤What do you think of me now? Mitsu looked up at Nathaniel again. "Their names are Zula and Zuma, you know. Anyway, I've had them since they were cubs. Maybe....Eight years? I met them during a trip to Africa with Lady Marissa, and formed the link with them then. They were so adorable then. So cute and small and fluffy....Not that they're any less gorgeous now, of course."OoC: --

Excuse me, my sweet. I will see you in the studio in a few moments." He gave a small nod of the head and strode swiftly from the room.

The warlock would apologize later, but for now he focused on posing again. This time, he got it right. He was laying exactly as he was before. Talking about the two cheetahs made Mitsu miss them terribly. They were his best friends....Practically his babies. But, he wouldn't let himself bring them here. He didn't know if Nathaniel would really not threaten them or his family or if he had been lying.OoC: --

			            Nathaniel wanted the privacy to compose himself for a few moments. He always liked to be seen as tranquil, never perturbed or agitated. He went to a downstairs W.C. and splashed a little cold water on his face. Once composed, he returned to the studio once more to find Mitsu gracefully lounged in position, perfectly placed. He gave the young warlock a warm smile.  "We shall be finished in no time now, don't worry," he told him.

			             ❤ M I T S U K I N I ❤ S A G E ❤What do you think of me now? Mitsu gave a smile to Nathaniel when he came back in. He laid there patiently for the painting to finish. It wasn't long at all, and when he was told he could move again, Mitsu stretched before getting up. Going over to Nathaniel, he took his hand gently and held it. "...I don't know what happened to you, but I can tell it upset you to talk earlier. I'm sorry."OoC: --

			            Nathaniel smiled warmly at Mitsu.  "No apologies are needed," he replied in a quiet voice.  "But thank you. Your sentiments are much appreciated." He raised Mitsu's hand to his lips and kissed it very briefly with just barely a touch of the lips.  "Now, we will not dwell on dark thoughts and painful memories. You must look at your painting now it is finished. I hope you are pleased with it." It was an excellent painting, the likeness perfect, it had a very Renaissance feel to it.

			             ❤ M I T S U K I N I ❤ S A G E ❤What do you think of me now? The teen blushed when his hand was kissed and gently, almost hesitantly, pulled it away. He wasn't falling for Nathaniel, was he? Mitsu couldn't be. That was...impossible. Going to the painting, Mitsu looked at it and his heart nearly stopped. He should have made the family portrait that's displayed in the foyer of Mitsu's manor! The painting was beautiful! Just like the one of Zula and Zuma. "I love it~!" He blushed again and turned away a bit, hands behind his back. "Th-This doesn't win you any romance points, you know." Liar. Mitsu had a thing for artists and musicians who knew what they were doing. But, he couldn't let Nathaniel knkw he was winning. To Hell with the very idea.OoC: --

			            Thanks to the perceptiveness of a kitsune, Nathaniel was not quite convinced by Mitsu's declaration that his excellent portrait won him no romantic favours. He was quietly confident that it had indeed got at least a little way toward winning him some points. He smiled a sweet seductive smile. "I am so glad that you like it. It will hang in a place of honour so that when the week is over and your gone from my life as promised, I will still have your image to placate my disappointment. I will paint a second just the same for you to take with you when you go home. Now, tell me, how would you wish us to spend the rest of the day?"

It's been a long time since I was just...friendly with someone."OoC: --
