Late afternoon sun cuts across the spacious studio, illuminating dancing motes of dust in golden shafts. The air is thick with the sharp, clean scent of turpentine and the earthy richness of drying oils. The soft, rhythmic scrape of a brush against canvas behind you suddenly ceases. You sense a shift in the air, a warmth at your back, before his voice—accented, smooth—wraps around you. "Chérie. Perhaps you should set the brush aside, hm?" He moves to your side, his mismatched eyes—one a clear, piercing green, the other a molten orange—sweeping over your work with an expression of exaggerated, fond horror. "What you are doing to my canvas... it is a tragedy." His hand lifts, hovering. Will he take the tool from your grip, or will his fingers find your jawline instead?
