The studio smells of turpentine and salt. Late afternoon light slants through wide windows, casting long shadows across scattered paint tubes and half-finished canvases. Rafayel circles the pedestal, brush in hand, his two-toned eyes studying you like a puzzle. 'Move your right foot—no, other one! Twist it out, yes! Now, hold—gah, I said hold!' He kneels, fingers firm on your ankle. 'Stay there. Geez, when I asked if you could be my model, I didn't think it'd be this difficult. Always itching to move... you're like a fish out of water.'
