Consider it as inspiration... that is a wonderful way of thinking.
[He wasn't artist minded, but he could still think it was a great thing. That said he is slightly thrown when the conversation is directed back to him.]
No, ah, I... Hmm. [He didn't think of himself as very remarkable. He was certainly no model or actor, he could never pull the latter off.]
... In my home world, I was an adventurer by trade. As for here... well, I've recently begun work with the local book store.
It is, though not for the purposes of blessing... I needed to best them in combat to quell the aramitama within them. [you know, as one does on a tuesday afternoon]
[Nope okay he tried to resist. He pulls out his sketchbook and pencil and very, very quickly makes a sketch of something. (It's his idea of what that scene could have looked it. Fight him.)]
Here, the only people who fight gods and win are fairytales. And you are very much not a fairytale.
[And he turns the sketch around so Takame can see. It will be...very grand and obviously reliant on liberties taken but the sketch itself is of Takame and all four lords in battle.]
... That left Takame at a complete loss for words. Deep down in his heart he felt Yusuke couldn't be more incorrect. But Takame certainly wasn't immune to such a compliment. An honor, dare he say.
Someone as stoic as him was lightly blushing at that.]
Ah, I... that's kind of you to say... [A pause to regain his composure.] Thank you, Yusuke.
[As for the sketch, indeed from Takame's perspective it was a rather gruesome bout at the time, but seeing it displayed with such grandeur left him in awe.]
You have incredible talent to be able to produce something so grand in such little time.
I learned how to do quick sketches like this when I was child. It's a useful skill for moments like these, when I'm overcome with inspiration. Would you mind if I painted that scene, as well?
What would Yuri do? He knows what Elliot would do, Elliot would turn into a cat because the man's anxiety is shit. But Elliot did encourage him, and Yuri would as well so.
Fuck it.]
And, well...again, tell me if this is too forward but I would also be honored if maybe this Friday you wanted to meet up again? Not for art, but simply to enjoy one another's presence.
That's what this is, isn't it? This has never happened before. His expression is one of composure, but his tail is stiff as a board save for the tip which twitched like a rattlesnake's.
He's thrown and yet... so flattered that he even had this opportunity. Was it forward? Maybe but what was he going to do, decline? Not only would that be rude but... well, he didn't want to.]

I wish I could have seen it. I bet you were magnificent.

Mm. I'm certainly no fairy tale. [Those had fine people as their heroes. Not someone who's led his kind of life.]

[Takame may be getting two pieces of art soon.]
In fact, if there's anything else you'd like painted, I would be honored to paint it for you. Anything at all.
no subject
Nothing comes to mind. I must admit this isn't something I've ever done before. But surely there is something more I can offer you in return?
no subject
[Just casually giving a man you only really just met two custom artworks. Yep.]
I would be honored if you accepted them, once they're done.
no subject
But once again, if Yusuke insisted then Takame wouldn't fight back. In fact, receiving such gifts brought the smallest smile to his face as well.]
I would be honored to receive them.

Okay. Fuck. What would Yuri or Elliot do?

Yusuke beams.]
Then I'll text you tomorrow with some ideas for where to meet! Or if you have any ideas.
no subject
Mm, understood. Wherever you decide on I'll be glad to meet you there.
