[. . . haaaaaa]

[it's weird, to have someone say they admire and want to aspire to be like him. even if it's just in that one aspect]

Ah. . . well.

Why do you crave approval so much?

[artisticliberty]

I don't know. If I did, perhaps things would be easier. I have wondered if there is something in my missing memories... but that does me little good.

[foolmetwice]

[aha]

[his expression turns thoughtful as he splatters some yellow paint across his outfits]

It's a weird kind of disconnect, to wonder if some of your thoughts and feelings and behaviors are tied to something you don't even remember. Isn't it?

[artisticliberty]

It's disconcerting, certainly.

[foolmetwice]

Yeah.

[pauses]

I like you the way that you are, though. Someone who is aggressively himself.

[artisticliberty]

Really?

[he seems, genuinely, surprised]

[foolmetwice]

[T-TSUN TSUN]

[immediately a bit defensive]

Y-- yeah, why? What's so bad about that?

[artisticliberty]

[beams]

Nothing at all. I was just not expecting you to say it.

[foolmetwice]

[WAVES A PAINTBRUSH AT HIM sorry if he gets yellow paint on you Fox]

I like to subvert expectations sometimes.

[artisticliberty]

[he does not mind in the least]

You have succeeded.

[foolmetwice]

[aaaaaaaaah]

[swapping the yellow brush for a green one now, ducking his head as he does so]

[artisticliberty]

I think that looks quite good. Shall we try another one?

[gesturing to mars's other jackets]

[foolmetwice]

Oh, yeah. . . how's this one?

[pointing at the leather bodysuit next]

[look. . . . . .]

[artisticliberty]

Definitely indigo for that one. Also, I want to see you wear it.

[foolmetwice]

[blinks. . .]

Okay?

I mean, I'm going to, because I literally only have four outfits.

[also it's probably warm and it's cold outside]

[artisticliberty]

It looks like it would be quite flattering on you.

[it's form-fitting, is what he means]

[foolmetwice]

[IT IS, IN FACT, FORM-FITTING]

Mmm. I need more flattering clothing. Heart Soldier Senshi's aesthetic isn't really my style.

We'll let the paint dry, and then I'll change.
