That doesn't mean you should just go around saying things about hurting someone who's important to your friends!

[She's having a hard time with this particular level of morality, Rohan.]

What if someone threatened me, or-- or anyone you like? I don't care what kind of monsters everyone is-- you... you still care about people! And those people care about other people!

Maya...

[ Rohan runs is hand through his hair like he has explained this a million times before. ]

You... I envy your ability to think the way you do. You are very kind and gentle. I admire it.

I apologize for my brashness. I know that not everyone will agree on the things I do or say. [ BUT ALSO. ] To be honest, everything with most of the men here has to be a dick-measuring contest.

[ and he'd probably win ]

[Maya looks mystified for all of the first part of what he says, and then-- and then he says that, and Maya has to cough into her sleeve to cover an unexpected laugh.]

...Well, I mean, he doesn't have to egg you on so much, either.

But you're both a lot better than you guys give each other credit for.

[She finally takes a few steps away from the door and toward Rohan.]

I think.. you're gentler than you give yourself credit for. You just don't think about it so much.

[ what is with GIRLS???? ]

Whatever you say, Maya... [ He ACTS like he doesn't care when he cares a lot. ]

Let's not get mushy now. You can go.

Yeah, yeah.

[Maya lifts her chin a little with a smile, eyeing Rohan's work again.]

That looks really pretty, by the way.

Sorry for taking some time in messaging you. But I'd like to follow up about that commission I mentioned wanting to make.

What do you need to know to proceed?

It's simple:

Whatever you want to see.

Whatever you want, I'll make it happen. You know, more than two species to shove together. It's yours, so I want you to enjoy it.

Well that's somewhat complicated to explain.

Or just sort of disappointing. I'm not looking for anything super explicit right now just something cute. Like kissing or cuddling, some making out. I've never done this before. I'm guessing you need genders so the Minotaur is male and the demon is female. Do you need in depth descriptions of them?

I can just draw whatever up if you would like. You don't HAVE to give me descriptions.

So you want romantic? That's cute.

Someone you know?

But would descriptions make it easier?

Yes exactly. Something romantic and cute.

Yeah. He's uh in need of a little hint?

In THAT case, you can give me whatever details you find appropriate.

That is one way to drop a hint. I'm not much of a romantic but I can appreciate that level of it.

What's his name?

The minotaur is taller than the demon. White fur, lots of it,
wide shoulders, muscular. His torso is covered in red and black scales. Red along the sides and black over the abdomen and down the center of his back. His white fur grows like a mane down his back. Cow ears and horns extending from the sides of his head curving upward a little at the ends.

The demon is shorter comes to about the minotaur's shoulder pearl like scales, spikes at the elbows and tip of her tail. Her horns curve back over head and curl around her ears. They're pointed but not longer than an average humans ears.

Can't hurt to at least try another hint. He's a little dense at times.

His name is Dante.

Fancy that, I know of a minotaur named Dante. I think we made cow puns on the network in the wayback when.

I can make you something precious.

I'm a sucker for romance at the end of the day.

Did I ever ask for your name? If I didn't, I apologize for my rudeness.

You do? Which one?

That sounds fantastic. I would love something precious.

Even fledgling ones that are barely even fledgling?

You didn't. It's Lady.

We have never met in-person unfortunately.

I don't write romance in anything I publish. I find it to be a frivolous plot device. But I do think that anything deserves a chance.

It has been a rare thing for me personally.
