Ehm, was there a particular reason thee wanted to paint me all of a sudden? I do not mind, obviously, but I did not want to ask [ did not think to ask ] before others, lest there be scoundrels that would spy upon one's personal conversations. I am unused to being the focus of one's attention in that way.
[ -- there, ea... not easy but easier compared to and the kiss? like some lovelorn maiden in a story. maiden she is, lovelorn she is
not, definitely. it will pass, it will pass, it should not flourish even if she'd like it to. ]
[ so it really was no big deal. is she relieved? or the opposite? don makes herself ease either way, hands to her lap. ]
That is much the same reason I have begun taking pictures of those I care for too. Even if we may not [ remember ] bring them back with us, it is proof that they, that we were here. I much regret not doing anything for Ser Gregor when he was here with us, truthfully.
[ she's gotten used to drawing beside him too, anything else aside. don treasures her friends a lot more with the free time she's been afforded her. it's different than the sinners, who she will find in any world: these are people she's chosen herself to befriend, who she may never see again. it makes them a different kind of special.

Hmhm, I understand. I rather like thine as well, for it always makes me wish to smile just the same! [ like now, definitely the smile and not the remark on hers!!! ] Though it is a little troublesome to carry about a portrait of another, so may I offer an alternative that is sure to console that gentle heart of thine?
[ she is all for!!! keeping smiles going!!! no missing allowed, that makes people feel sad and empty and regretful (source: her) ]

[huh. he didn't really expect to be asked, and it's not something he's put a ton of thought into...]
Because I wanted to, I guess, but if you wanna know why I wanted to...
[give him a second because he has to consider why he decided on it past 'yeah i would like to do this',]
...I want to have something like this, of people I care about here.
