<div style="text-align: right;"><strong>Paul Raike</strong> (http://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=84632.msg3727041#msg3727041) - <strong>Basement</strong> - <em>Sitting in the back row and whispering to Lulu </em></div><br/>Paul considered the picture in Lulu's pamphlet for a few seconds with a serious and thoughtful expression, then glanced up at her face. "Were you the model for that one, with your hair dyed black?" His face remained straight, although a mischievous twinkle in his eyes suggested that he just might be joking. Maybe. "I'm guessing that photo will be snapped up rather quickly when it comes up, especially if the identity of the model becomes known." Now he was smiling slightly, a teasing and suggestive smirk punctuated by a knowing wink and nod.<br/><br/>He picked up his own pamphlet, and leafed through it, finally stopping to point out an image (http://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/2/29/E4Ng8qidCqi2r948HST0NGSUo1_500.jpg) on the next page. "Now this one is the one I would bid on, if I had some extra cash. Beautifully done, with excellent interplay of light and shadow; it's not so racy that it couldn't be mounted above the mantle, but isn't so boring that it couldn't serve as a conversation piece. What do you think?" He held the page open so that she could look at it; after a few moments thought, he extended his arm further so that Ronin could also see.
