“Anything would work, really.” he gave him a little sad smile, realizing Jack wasn’t feel too comfortable with all of this. Ezayne bit his bottom lip.
Maybe it hadn’t been a good idea to ask him to do this, after all. BUt he couldn’t kick him out without nothing. It would bee too cruel. And surely disappointing for the man. He looked down, sighing.
“I know what you’re thinking. Sure you’re thinking I’m a stalker or something similar. I wouldn’t blame you if you do.” he looked back to the white wall, upset. It seemed his little dream would have to be something he had to work in by himself, as he had done before in the years of his training.
He looked back at Jack, and rubbed his arm. “It… It will be enough if you draw to me a simple sketch, really. I just wanted something… Something I could see every morning and think ‘maybe today, she’ll finally give me her hand’. Maybe I’m just dreaming… but I’ve never loved anyone else as much I love her, Jack. I’ll pay you for the time you wasted here, though. It will be enough with a sketch, if you don’t want to do this.”
Jack relaxed a little as he heard Ezayne’s words. The fact that the man was well aware of how strange the situation was made him feel much better. His heart went out to Ezayne – his and Sinner’s story sounded very painful, and tragic.
“N-no, it’s all right. I do want to do this. She’s v-very beautiful,” he gestured at the pictures of Sinner, “and I w-would like to paint her.” He considered it for a moment. “M-maybe you’d like a regular painting, instead of a mural? That way, y-you could take it with you if you moved,” he added.
“I don’t think I’m going to move, but… A regular painting would be nice.” Ezayne smiled, feeling really sad inside. It seemed he wouldn’t get the mural he wanted, but at least he’d get a nice painting. The assassin could paint the mural into his room anyway, it wasn’t like he couldn’t. He just felt sorry that such a great artist like Jack didn’t want to do what could have been an absolute wonder. But it was fine. Sure D and him could do a great job by themselves.
It wouldn’t be perfect but it would be exactly what he wanted.
“I guess a simple portrait of her wouldn’t be too expensive for me. Might I request something for that portrait?
“Of course,” Jack replied. “Anything you like. I-I could even still do the scene from the legend, if you want. It just won’t be as e-expansive.”
