Are you surprised that I’m smiling at you, talking with you in this welcoming tone? Why are you surprised? Do you expect me to be horrible to you? Why? I don’t know you at all; we are on the same level. Why do you feel you are less than me, why do you feel inferior? Is it because you are afraid of me, is it because you think that I would dislike you? But this is your thinking, I don’t feel this way, I just see you as some one new, I don’t know your pasts, I just want to know your present and your present tells me you are worthy of my smile and my kind voice.

Take my hands, shake them, and hold them. Let’s be friends forever.

Another picture with meanings. I seem to be fond of them lately *swt* . About the background, I really admire how some of Paradise Kiss’ panels have this ‘outline’ style. I think it rocks and adds a bit of a different edge to the drawing, so my little muse tells me to mimic the style and that’s why the background is like this. Hopefully this is not too badly done. Yes, another B&W drawing X). I don’t think I’ll colour this one, since I tried and it came out wrong.

p.s. it’s not a rabbit the main character is being friendly to.
