Trixie had officially found something she hated; solo shoots. She despised them, and if it were her choice, she would run away instead of doing them. But she didn't have a choice, so. "Are you sure? I could use the moral support." She said teasingly. She gave Kiara a slightly abashed smile as she passed. How awkward it mustve been- She was crying to Ki about the man she was standing with... less than an hour ago. She gave him a pitiful look, leaning teasingly into his side. "But I don't want to." She huffed, taking in a small, sharp breath as he held a hand to her lower back.

"As much as I would love to help you, i'm afriad you'll have to be by yourself" Matt said, giving Trixie a mock solemn look. He had never been so caring about anyone pretty much all his life. Well, both of them anyway, but she made him feel somewhat different. It hadn't even been a week yet. He kept his hand on her back, moving his thumb up and down as he thought, his eyes flirting across the stage. "I'd say i'll try and get him to keep it as short as possible, but i enjoy watching you get increasingly nervous on stage" he teased, only half joking. He didn't like her getting nervous, but he did enjoy looking at her. As the model before rushed down from the backdrop, he turned to Trixie, pulling his hand away. "Go on. Imagine everyone naked like i said" he joked, gesturing towards the camera.

"But I'll be so lonely." Trixie whimpered sarcastically, flopping her head against his shoulder dramatically. She smiled as his thumb started to caress her back, lightly picking her head up off his shoulder. She rolled her eyes at him at his tease, scoffing. "Wow, thanks. I'm glad someone enjoys it." She said sarcastically. She glared at him for his joke. "I thought I already told you, that would be very distracting. Especially if you're in my line of sight." She said playfully, turning with a sigh to walk in front of the backdrop.

Matt narrowed his eyes at Trixie's second comment, unsure of how to react. He knew it was a joke, of course, but he was also still blushing ever so slightly. He gave her a hopefully comforting smile as she headed up onto stage, resting against the wall near the cameras, his gaze firmly set on her. He watched as the girl moved forward to move her, handling her exactly like you would a doll, her touch rough and her expression rude. After a couple flashes of the camera, Stanley spoke up rather loudly to him, bringing Matt out of his zoned out gaze. "As terrified as she seems to be, I can see her as event material." he said, and Matt shifted from his loud voice, turning towards the bald man. He continued to talk, this time toward Trixie. "You can stop now" He started, moving up onto the stage. "Do you think you'd be okay going to a promotional event?" He asked, though he didnt give any explanation.

Trixie kept her eyes locked onto Matt, not even lifting her gaze when the woman came up and started yanking her limbs every which way. She turned to the camera and did as she was asked, looking... less terrified about the whole situation. Less than last time, at least. She gave Stanley a slightly bewildered glance when he spoke, standing up straight and shifting out of the pose. Had she done something wrong? She narrowed her eyes at the question, her eyes darting to Matt. "Depends. What's a promotional event?"

"You promote yourself" Was all Stanley said, standing looking at Trixie like he expected an answer from the three word explanation. Matt narrowed his eyes and stood himself up from the wall, giving a slight sigh. "Its a kind of..formal thing you go to to promote the shoots you're in. In front of a lot of very high prestige people, if they think you're good enough you end up getting signed. For magazines, commercials, even some movies." He said, doing his best to explain. Well, it was definitely better than Stanleys at least. "Plus it gets you a lot more money than just the regular shoots" he added, giving her a teasing smile.

Trixie gave Stanley the biggest death glare she could muster before Matt started speaking. She softened immiediately and turned to listen to him. She shuffled slightly nervously at the explanation. But, what else did she have to do with her time? She bit her lip, watching Matt for a second. She thought for a moment and then looked at Stanley. "Can Matt come with me?" She asked hesitantly, using just about the best puppy eyes she could muster.

Stanley didn't look too impressed at Trixie's answer, but he gave a quick nod, going back to looking at his many pieces of paper. Matt stod himself up from the wall and headed towards Trixie, giving her a slightly confused look as he reached her side. "I wasnt aware you needed me for thsis decision" he half-joked, looking at her with a warm smile. He badly wanted to just "You did so well, you're so pretty" but his earlier insults towards her held his words back, for fear of her not believing him after h lashed out with things even he didnt believe.

Trixie smiled at his answer, looking toward Matt with a grin. "I need the moral support, at least." She shrugged. "Plus, you make me look better. It was a purely practical decision." She joked, glancing around to see the scene being wrapped up around them. She was eager to spend time with him again- she just didn't know how. She looked back at him and tried her best not to seem desperate as she spoke, gently adjusting her dress. "Would you like to do something after this?" She asked lightly. Totally chill. Unquestionably cool. Toooootally not desperate. At all.

Matt gave Trixie a smile, elbowing her playfully. "Oh I am flattered" He joked, though really he was. Slightly. He moved out the way of a couple people carrying the backdrop and against the wall, pulling Trixie so she didnt get engulfed by the large white sheet. "You might aswell ask me on a date at this point" he laughed, referring to her second comment. After the decent amount of teasing and insults, that was the last thing he had expected her to say. "I'm joking. I'd like to" he smiled, this time letting his tone settle to a something neutral and warm, rather than sounding like he was constantly joking. "You'll have to pick though" he added teasingly.
