They are as scarlet. by @lynne (Lynne)

I drew this yesterday during downtime at work--churned out four sketches actually, so I thought I'd do a mass upload (some here, some on dA) since I've been neglecting to do so over the past few months.

Rossi wrote me a page and a half letter in my journal, and I was shocked at what was coming out of him even as he wrestled between his duty to God and his fear (called himself a mortal coward). He was scathing about my sinful indiscretions though only after I realized myself the evil impact they have had and not only on myself. This has been a recipe for deep regret, but I believe that God can redeem us. Rossi believes it too, and so he offers, though in my pain at this point I did not want any man's touch, not even his.

Later I let him hold me and then it was good, but I think that has much to do with some other sketches I did, with Vifernin, who eerily played something of a redemptive Christ-figure (and he has been such before in dreams I have had). I might want to do something else with those sketches before I put them up if I can find the time. Today, I want to spend on art, since I've had so little time lately for it, and I actually DID get all my homework done this weekend (hallelujah)... I also have a commission and a many-months late gift piece to finish... plus two other artworks I really do want to finish... this is not including my paintings... oh Lord.
