[amain]

Is that a no?

[ HE CAN ACTUALLY SAY NO AND RUN ]

[inaccordant]

[he sighs]

Just tell me what it is.

[dang it for targeting his weakness, his instinctive need to help people]

[amain]

[ aw. Nier beams brightly at Hugo. ]

I do want to be your friend. [ What a throwaway comment, but anyway: ] You just need to sit over there and pose however you want.

[ Nier is trying to learn how to paint. ]

[inaccordant]

[...........]

Come again?

[amain]

I need a model.

[inaccordant]

Don't you have friends?

[amain]

A handful.

[ Doesn't even take it as Hugo asking if he's a friendless loser. ]

[inaccordant]

Then shouldn't you be asking them?

[amain]

I asked you.

[ how long will hugo argue about this ]

[inaccordant]

[he's gotta]

Why?

[amain]

Because you're here.

[ No one else is in this room. ]

[inaccordant]

[he sighs deeply.]

How long do you need?

[amain]

How long do you think you can go without working? I wouldn't want it to pile up.

[ nier's NICE. ]

[inaccordant]

[a sigh]

Make it less than an hour, probably.

[amain]

All right. Thank you, Hugo.

[ me laughing as nier just dumps the portrait in front of spring ]

You can probably leave earlier if I get the base down quickly.

[inaccordant]

[WHY DID YOU DO THAT NIER]

We'll see.
