[Maybe Raleigh find her beautiful in her vulnerability. She doesn't have to be tough and fierce all the time. He knows that she can kick ass, he's seen her do it, she handed him his on the kwoon floor the first day that they met. But when she's around him, she lets down her guard sometimes and she opens up to him, and he likes that better.
Because it means she trusts him.]
Yeah. [He smiles at her softly.] I think you look beautiful.
this is totally hooker au too (it just ran away with me)
[ Mako hesitates -- she's not immune to the way he smiles at her, soft and gentle. It's a far cry from when they'd first met a seeming lifetime ago, when he'd been distant and guarded, deep in his own sorrow and mourning his brother.
Now, he smiles with her, open and vulnerable and maybe there's a point there. She trusts him, more than anyone else she's ever trusted save for Stacker -- he gives her a new lease on life, a reason to hope for the future beyond steely vengeance, and for that she is grateful.
Propping herself with an elbow and turning on her side, Mako offers a gentle, tentative smile in return. She would put her life in his hands, always. ]
[He shrugs that off easily, looking at the polaroid for a few moments more before he gets up to actually add it to the wall, nestles it between a picture of him and Yancy and a woman in a red dress.
Raleigh comes back to bed soon though, settling in close to her.]
[ She peers at the wall from her vantage point on the bed, unable to help a small smile that tugs at her lips. She's always appreciated this hobby of his, admired his photos whenever she's doing something mundane around their shared space.
She shifts to pull him into her arms, nuzzling into him. ] And a part of what you love.
I'd rather you took me with you, when you're traveling. [Raleigh retorts, poking her in the side before he reaches for his camera. Sure, he's almost out of film and he's been sparing it every chance he gets but-- he'd let her. He loves her that much.]

That's because you're biased.

But you're a part of the wall now anyway.

That's been a given for a while too. Told you. I've really been slacking.

I should take a picture of you, too. Take it with me whenever I'm traveling.

Maybe we should take one together?
