A nervous chuckle left Nico’s lips as he looked up at the girl. There was something about the way she’d said it that left him feeling almost nervous. That same feeling only growing stronger as his cheeks flushed red by her question. “N-no, no!” he stammered, darting his eyes back onto the drawing to avoid her gaze. Was she beautiful? Yes. Did he mind nude modeling? Not really. After all, the Gods were pretty open when it came to that. But did he want to see her naked? Perhaps but given how he didn’t even know her, the right answer was no. “I appreciate the dedication but sketching you just how you are now is perfectly fine,” he smiled nervously.
The teasing twinkle in Alani’s eyes never left as she let out a condescending snort of a laugh. She usually preferred guys who could match her quick witted remarks, but it was always fun to pick on the ones who turned into stammering messes when she talked to them. “If you say so, but it’s your loss. Any guy would kill for me to strip for them.” She flicked a piece of her wavy brunette hair off her shoulder, and lifted her chin slightly, letting the sun hit her face more directly. “I’m free for the rest of the day, and could use some time in the sun. Feel free to sketch as long as you need to.”
