[art! aquarius will not mention that they actually like what jiji's creating.]

The...ability for people to also dislike you?

[unsaid]

[ :) ]

Fufu... Even if the feeling is not quite so strong as 'dislike', it is nice to be treated as a fallible entity.

As much as I do enjoy ceremony from time to time... the casualness and ease of others is something I treasure far more, even if I cannot entirely emulate it myself.

[guestservices]

[hm. it makes some degree of sense, they think.]

I think this might be where you and I cannot relate, Mikazuki. [lightly said.] But if that's something you've managed to find and you're satisfied with it, then that's a good thing.

[unsaid]

I would be more concerned if we could relate on all aspects, dear Aquarius.

[honestly? no one should live like an old sword it sucks]

But may I ask what you mean by that?

[guestservices]

[a shrug.]

I think there are some people have only ever been treated as a fallible entity. So casualness and ease is still something they can't treasure because it doesn't feel genuine. That's all.

[unsaid]

Mm... I see, I see.

Is this what Jason Todd would call 'trust issues'?

[guestservices]

[there's a soft laugh.]

Just what are they actually teaching you out there...? But maybe that's close to it, sure. If I had to describe how some people may feel.

[unsaid]

I am learning many a thing - and I treasure it all. What is both humorous, and what is difficult.

[but mikazuki will finish up the painting then, putting away the paintbrushes and waiting for it to dry. still, he will gently turn the canvas so that aquarius might be able to see]

Is it to your liking, my friend?

[guestservices]

At least there's something good to this. [but they pause to look at the painting. they're weirdly quiet about it, examining it before there's a nod.]

Well. Your art is definitely better than mine like I thought. [... ] Can I have this?

[unsaid]

Of course.

[amused]

Should a time ever come that we are able to behold you behind your veil, I would like to paint you again then as well - if that would be alright.

[guestservices]

...I'll think about it. I don't know if it'll have the same effect.

[they say, still not knowing about the room's actual effects but it's fine, it's a surprise tool for later. they do seem a little more open at least though.]

[unsaid]

Fufu.... Thank you for entertaining the thought.

It has been fun. I am pleased to have borrowed some of your time.

[guestservices]

You can borrow my time anytime you want. [the door pops open.]

Guess that's our cue to go?
