[Lydia is scouting the gathering, camera in hand and smiles when she sees long silver hair. Unmistakable, especially considering his height and posture too. Perfect.]

Hey Sephiroth? I need your help with something.

[Her smile is friendly and open.]

[Lydia with ~~Angeal's~~ a camera...not such an unusual sight yet he's managed to avoid her attempts to get a photo of him for while.

But considering this gathering...]

That depends what it might be.

[Have the most endearing smile she can give. Holding her camera up hopefully.]

I promise it'll be quick and painless, and you don't even have to smile.

[She really doesn't think she's doing anything that bad. If she is, he needs to TELL her. She'd understand better than most would think.]

[That smile on it's own might be enough to sour the freshest milk, under the right circumstances. He's heard enough of the pranks Lydia got up to back home.]

Why am I...not convinced?

[But sure, if it's only to take a picture...he'll even flick his head to one side to dismiss some of the hair out of his face.]

[Lydia is ready, raising the camera quickly and getting a great profile shot since he obliged her. Lowering her camera, the smile is her more normal smile. Still endearing, but less trying to be obviously cute-and-endearing.]

Like I said, quick and painless. Thank you!

[Blink. Blink...

Was that all?]

What's it in aid of?

[He's a right to know, right?]

[It wasn't obvious? Yes she'd wanted his picture her for project anyways, but given their gathering right then...]

Come on, Sephiroth, surely you can guess.

[There is a grin, and she is teasing him.]

[Cue Sephiroth peering around the room trying to make eye contact with whoever it was that might be paying specific attention to them. Not that he's not used to having his picture taken but-]

Who?

[Because who knows what they'd want a picture of him for? It could prove troublesome...Sephiroth's frown only creases up a little more at Lydia's grin.]

What did they dare you to do?

[Okay, he is definitely taking this more seriously than she thought. In hindsight, Lydia isn't that surprised. As it is, she's just gonna try to not blush. It's not anything she hasn't told him before, but not in these terms. ]

It's really okay...I promise. I was just dared to get a picture of someone I think is hot.

[Nope, there's the blush. For all they're friends and Lydia trusts him, she can recognize he is hot. No crush, just appreciation and recognition. Don't mind her ducking her head a bit sheepishly.]

Oh-

[Wai- what! Back up.

Being considered hot by teenage girls is nothing new, but back home there would be layers of PR, reams of work and literal walls preventing him from ever being faced with any such persons.

It's just a little stranger, being as he's starting to see Lydia as a friend as well.]

-well I...suppose that's not really a bad thing then.

[He's not blushing, but trying to diffuse what's turning into more awkward than it needs to be. She hasn't got a crush and neither does he - their age gap...]

[She is refusing to let this turn awkward. REFUSING, do you hear her? Her hands are up, waving in a way to try and reassure.]

Sorry, I mean...I've told you before you're handsome, so this shouldn't be a surprise. I also was going to get more than one picture of more than one guy...

[That last part might be mumbled too, before Lydia huffs and hangs her head. A deep breath, and then she's back up with an awkward smile on her face. Slightly embarrassed, but holding her hand out to him.]

I don't want anything to ruin our friendship. Any aesthetic appreciation I have for the surface or physical is just that. And less important to me than keeping my friend.

Lydia-

[First time it's a mummer-]

Lydia-

[Nope, she's still going...trying almost too hard to wave all the potential awkward away when really there isn't any need. Finally, when he does get chance, she's made herself feel more awkward. Sephiroth chuckles lightly, flicking his hair the way that he does when it's not really in his face but might fall that way any moment.]

It's fine. Honestly, I'm used to it. Just-

[He tilts his head, trying to soften his expression some more.]

-it's not something I've been acknowledged for, in a time.

[Okay, getting him to laugh has the effect of stopping her babbling and remaining bright red. The reassurance brings a shy smile--maybe it really was okay?]

...would you like a copy? Once it's developed?

[Definitely still feeling shy and embarrassed, but she'll regain her equilibrium soon enough.]

Sure- [Honestly the more he's opened himself to laughing about it, the easier this becomes.]

-why not.

[Welp, at least the awkwardness has receded for now. A more easy smile, even if she's still a bit pink in her cheeks. Rare look for her at that.]

Anyone you wanted me to get a picture of?

[She's missed her photography a lot, ok?]

[At least she's not beetroot anymore. She does look like more of her age with the light blush still on though.]

I highly doubt I'd be the best to highlight people for your mission...and isn't that cheating?

[That brings a full-return to the impish grin.]

Maybe. All I was dared, was to get a photo of a hot guy. I'm willing to get other photos too.

[The impish grin just makes him chuckle again, this time he's amused though.]

I think I'll just leave you to it.

[Oh yes, there is definitely mischief in the impish grin.]

I'm willing to take requests. Especially if you're willing to help me do whatever it is Cid or whoever makes me do to get more film.

[There is a playful wink, and then Lydia is off! After some time, he'll get a flat parcel delivery from her.]
