In hearing the response, Chéri smiled right away. Their smile had a uniquely warm quality that can only be reached by a good mixture of youth, bubblines and a good amount of self-awarness. Also having a big mouth on a small, delicate face didn't hurt.

Surprised to encounter someone so gallant, Chéri offered their hand. Their answer, however, was not equally impressed "I know". They volunteered no name, as it was their costume.

Chéri liked being a model, but coming from a market saturated both in offer and supply, their focus was on something else "I will be happy to model for you, Monsieur, as long as the payment is appropriate" no mention to a present: that was a tip and Chéri was going to secure the main payment first. "what would you like to do? Some face study? A specific pose study? Some action drawing?" The title did not seem to impress them, as they had probably heard more dramatic descriptions in their former life.
