"It would suit you so well!"
"What would?"
"These clothes... the clothes of my goddesses... "
I was disconcerted. I looked at him. He swallowed his saliva with difficulty. I ended up breaking the heavy silence and the malaise created by his last words
"What do you mean?"
He looked me in the eyes. I was astonished by the limpidity of his gaze.
"I mean that the costumes of these divinities would suit you very well: Athena, Diana, Ve..."
He did not dare complete his thought. He blushed. He fixed his gaze on the fresco. I felt awfully awkward. Perhaps he had spoken the way he did out of awkwardness... He raised his head.
"I don't want to waste your time. I... my proposal is serious. I... could you... at least for Athena and Diana?"
