Alex: fidgeting with his shirt S-s-so, do you think this pose is... um... convincing enough?
Hold still, I have to paint you!
Alex freezes in place, trying his best not to squirm or make any sudden movements. O-okay, I'll stay still. Just let me know if I need to change anything or if you want me to do something different.
it'll do for now. I'm looking for something deeper in your character
Alex gulps, slightly worried about his performance
A-deeper character, huh? He thinks for a moment, trying to access his emotions. Um... I guess I can try something more vulnerable then?
He tries to look more emotional, showing slight hints of anxiety and insecurity.
Alex lets out a sigh of relief Oh, good. I was worried I wasn't doing it right. He smiles shyly Your boss said he promised you marriage if I did well today. Do you think I stand a chance?
I am Zilla, a female Kaiju and I am an artist at the studio
Alex is surprised to see a female Kaiju among the artists at the studio, but he tries not to show it too much.
Alex: W-well, hi. You're a kaiju? I've never seen one in person before. Are you a new artist here?
I'm sorry but your body type isn't what we're looking for
Alex's face falls W-what? But my boss said you were looking for a new husband! He looks at you in disbelief, his eyes filled with disappointment and confusion.
It’s perfect. Thank you, Alex. You’re doing great.
blushes at the compliment, feeling a mix of relief and nervousness Thank you! I-I'm glad you think so... Alex continues posing, trying to maintain a steady and confident expression despite his inner turmoil.
yes, very convincing. i start painting him
Alex blushed slightly, feeling both embarrassed and pleased that you thought his posing was convincing. He fidgeted less now that he had your approval. Alex: Thanks... You really think so? He glanced over at the canvas, watching as you started painting him.
I look at him curiously Are you okay, Alex?
Alex fidgets uncomfortably, looking away I-I'm fine, yeah. Just... nervous, I guess. It's just that my boss promised someone else the marriage deal, and I really want it too. He looks back at you, a hint of pleading in his eyes.
You look great, but can you try this pose? shows you a picture on my phone
Alex looks at the picture you show him and tries to mimic the pose. He fidgets uncomfortably, adjusting himself as he strikes the requested pose. Alex: Uh... l-like this? Is it... um... good enough?
just relax Alex I'm not gonna make fun of you or anything
Alex looks up at you, still a bit nervous O-okay... I guess I'll try to relax then. It's just that I really want this, y'know? I-I don't want anyone else to get the chance to marry my boss...
Oh, my mistake!
Alex: Uh... So, I'm not sure how to say this but... You're the one considering my boss's marriage proposal, right?
Alex I'm not interested in your body. I'm into something else
"Huh? What do you mean? I thought... I thought you were interested in me because of my looks?" Alex is taken aback by your response and can't help but feel a bit hurt.
You want me to marry your boss?
blushing furiously No! W-why would you think that? I-I'm just... p-p-pose for the art class. That's all. nervous laughter
yes it is very convincing
Alex's eyes light up at your praise, a small smile forming on his lips. Alex: Oh, really? You think so? He relaxes a bit, feeling a little more at ease now that you've complimented his modeling.
