As promised, Princess Rhaena arrived at the rooms of Ennio, wearing a loose fitting wrap dress. She carried her bow with her, but no other weapons, and a quiver of arrows.
She knocked on the door she had been given directions too and waited, resting a hand on her hip is mild impatience.

It wasn't long before he admitted her. He wore a fine shirt with loose sleeves and a ruffled front, with violet breeches. He greeted her with an elaborate bow. "Princess. You look very beautiful today. Will you take a seat? There is wine and nuts and fruit if you wish."

"I am not hungry,but I would like some wine." She said, and took a seat, "I believe you asked to paint me?"

"I did." He indicated an easel and a table on which sat a neat row of paints, some brushes and other paraphernalia. "Would you prefer the red wine or the white?" He asked.
He came to stand before her, thinking. "We have several choices regarding your pose. You could sit straight and demure like a Free Cities lady, or lie on your side, or even stand if you would prefer that."

"Would you rather have me standing or lying down?" she asked, smirking slightly, "I am yours to position as you will."

He laughed at that. "Oh you tempt me, princess, you really do. I would like you to be lying on your side." He lay on the sofa and demonstrated, lying on his side with one arm flung across the arm of the sofa and a foot dangling towards the ground. "But only if you are comfortable, of course. Try it." He leaped up and gestured.

"Would you mind if I posed with this?" she asked, gesturing to her bow, and moving to stand close to him, looking down, "I am very proud of it, it is made of Dragonbone,"

He stepped forward, touched the bow with long, careful fingers. "Very impressive. I have never seen dragonbone, until now. I would be honoured to include it in the portrait. If you like, we could try you standing, holding the bow."

She smirked and looked at him, tugging on a tie on her clothing, letting the whole lot pool to the ground showing her completely naked body.
"How about sitting demurely?" she asked, taking a seat on the couch and parting her legs, letting the bow rest between them, partially obscuring her womanhood, so that the dragonbone ran up the length of her body, between her breastsm but the curve going just around her face. She ran a hand through her loose hair, messing it up as if someone had been running their hands through it, and then raised one arm straight to hold the top of the bow, with the otherone resting across her stomach, holding onto the grip at the centre. To finish off, she turned her face slightly towards it, but directed her eyes right back to the artist, her gaze intense.

He didn't say anything for a while, simply looking at her in open admiration. His eyes searched her body from her face to her feet, very slowly, lingering on her breasts in particular. "Very nice, my lady. I would love to paint you this way. Gods, perhaps I can show my appreciation afterwards." He grinned.

"perhaps," she said, smirking back at him, "but hurry, I'd hate to catch a chill."

"Of course. I will do the best I can but I will enjoy looking at you," he said bluntly. "Who could think harshly of me for taking my time?" He grinned and picked up a stick of charcoal to begin sketching the basic image. "I know a way to warm a lady if she is cold."

"You'll have to show me if get cold, in case I ever need to warm a woman up," she replied, trying to keep still.

He laughed. "Now there's a sight I would like to see. Though you make a rather delightful picture already. How shall I ever concentrate?" He began to sketch out her form. "Will your brother not be angry with us? I hope I will not be obliged to kill the future King of Westeros. That would be most unfortunate, wouldn't it?"

"Aegon does not tell me what I can and cannot do," she said, pointedly. "What are we doing wrong? You are painting me."

"And enjoying it very much. Your prince might say too much. Or are naked portraits popular in Westeros? We have them in Tyrosh, but usually a rich man or woman commissions one of their lover. I don't think I wish to give this painting to your prince," he said, busily drawing the flowing lines of her body, and the bow.

"No, they are not popular, but perhaps they should be." She commented, deep in thought about the idea, "and feel free to keep it, if it makes you uncomfortable, then do not let him see."

He raised an eyebrow as he sketched in the sofa she was sitting on. "It is not a matter of my own comfort, but yours," he said. "I will be honoured to keep the painting, of cousre. It shall be the pride of my work, but do you not wish a keepsake for yourself?"

There was a long pause and then rhaena genuinely laughed. "Did you just ask if I wanted to keep a naked portrait of myself? I think others would get better use of it than me."

"I certainly will." He winked at her and eyed her with open admiration. "I am merely...surprised. Grateful, of course. I shall treasure the painting always."
It took a while longer for him to finish the basic sketch and then he began to mix colours.
"Of course, it might help if I were to get some extra inspiration."

"Alas, we often must make do with what we already have," she said, regretting not eating now, as she was getting a bit hungry. She was very glad she was comfortable naked, "so tell me more of your city? What is your main trade?"

"We trade in many things. Flavoured brandies are common here. We particularly like the pear and the cherry varieties, and our armoursmiths are among the best in the world. There is also a thriving spice trade. Of course, we import a great deal of silk and other fabrics."
He began to work his first colour onto the canvass, almost absent-mindedly, staring unashamedly at her breasts as he did so.
"Is it common to have dragonbone bows in Westeros?"

"I hope you are not going to be to distracted, it had best be good for how long I am sitting for it," she said, though she smiled, but it fell a bit before being replaced by a more fake looking one.
"No... It is not common. This was a gift."

"A handsome gift to be sure. The giver must have been a very good friend, yes?" He grinned at her. "I can't help lingering, you know. It's quite your own fault for asking me to paint you this way. But we can take a break if you would prefer."
