[For Lystra] Titus Artistic

Continued from Here

He chuckles and looks down to the pad of paper he's leafing through. "I hope, then, that I can do your face and form justice," he replies.

He's seen a woman naked before, but this time, it's different. This time, it's something a bit more intimate even than laying together. One of the artists he knew had told him that art involves putting a piece of the person into the image one is creating of that person.

"Like this?" Lystra asks, and she'll lie on her side, facing Titus. It's a fairly simple pose.

"That is perfect," he says, propping the sketch pad on one knee and setting to work roughing in a few base lines, getting the general lay of her pose first, before starting on the general shapes of the components of her body, starting with her head and working downwards.

"You better not make me look ugly," Lystra says, though she's obviously joking.

He chuckles gently, and looks up at her. "I assure you, I shall give it my best effort, to render a beautiful portrait of you," he replies, turning his gaze back to the page and starting on the details of her face and hands.

"You have to give me a kiss for every mistake you make," Lystra informs him.

"I shall take care, but even still, I may end in covering you in kisses," he admits, glancing from the sketch pad to her face, a slightly gauche look crossing his own face.

Lystra smiles. "I suppose I could find it in me to forgive you."

"I pray my artistic sins are easily forgiven," he says, glancing down and working on her torso...

"I think I could forgive you for anything, if you were kissing me."

He gets a bit dithery drawing her breasts, then he gets even more awkward when he moves further down. It's not horrid, but it shows a bit of nervey-ness. He pauses, takes up the kneadable eraser and sets to work wiping out his mistakes and redrawing them. "I'm afraid there's at least one kiss already," he admits.

Lystra giggles. "What did you get wrong?"

"I regret, I am not inexperienced in the ways of men and of women, but I've made a smudge out of drawing milady's secrets," he says, delicately, yet awkwardly at admitting his own blunder.

"There's a new rule," Lystra says, suppressing a laugh. "You have to kiss the part you got wrong."
