"I do like the splatters."

"Those were a lot of fun to do! Had to clean everything out of the room and put down tons of plastic and painter's tape, though, it was messy."

"Slopping paint around tends to get that way."

"So's blood. I was being realistic to my inspiration."

"Did you practice with real blood?"

Giggle. "Sadly hadn't had the chance yet. Needed to just rely on pictures and imagination."

"It's quite good, for an amateur."

"Very well executed horrible taste."

"Kind of says it all, really."

"Pretty much my style growing up."

"And now you've graduated to extremely well executed elegant and refined taste, as personified by me."

"Exactly! I just needed an alluring enough Muse, apparently. To show me true beauty."

Hee.

"No one can deny I've done that."

Kiss. "An example for us all."

"But of course I'd be nowhere without my lovely and talented disciple."

Heeeeee.

"After all, who else is going to portray you as wonderfully as you deserve?"

"No one I'd trust but you."

Awwwwwww.

"You're great."

Kiss.

There's lots of fun things they can do while keeping quiet, Ruby bets...

That's going to depend mostly on Ruby, isn't it?

...Probably. But keeping quiet sounds hard...

She'll be gentle. And maybe help her mouth to be otherwise occupied.

That seems to work out pretty well!

Good.
