Elyssa smiled blinking away some pained tears from her eyes, "It's fine, as crazy as it sounds I'm used to that." She rubbed her head sighing, "Maybe I seriously should consider just shaving my hair off, having it is such a hassle all the time." Ma smiled back tentatively before shaking her head.
“You shouldn’t. It’s so nice … of course, it’s your body and decision, you shouldn’t be influenced by me or anyone.” She squeezed her eyes shut for a moment, trying not to slip.
Your body, your decision hadn’t been all that easy for her for a long time. Shaking the thoughts out of her head she looked back at Elyssa, making a decision. “I … um, I like your hair. I drew you … if you’d like to see it?” Her voice got smaller by the end of the sentence but she went to her bed anyway, the sketch pad in hand and waiting for Elyssa to take it.
(I imagine Max’s sketch something like
this only, obviously as a sketch and with Elyssa as base. So, retaining human characteristics but somewhat alien)

Alex walked over and lightly thumped Andy on his forehead. "Dummy. Yes, you're adorable as you can be, but I would never do anything like that to anyone - guy or girl. Did you forget what I told you I could do? Besides, I saved your ass twice already. Once more and you owe me dinner" he winked. Andy raised his eyebrows, smirk playing across his lips.
“That so? Don’t get too excited, I don’t put out unless I
really like you,” he replied grinning, “I also take offence to being called dummy, by the way, I’ll have you know I’m not all that stupid. Maybe a little reckless, I’ll give you that, but that’s really not the same thing, is it? I guess, sometimes it is but I usually see the stupidity of the thing I just did afterwards, so there’s that. But you did call me adorable, so I may forgive you.” He winked, before leaning back against the sink looking around the room. “So, I suppose we’re on guard duty until Emit comes back, hmm? How about you tell me something about you, so I don’t grow bored and do more
reckless things?” he grinned. “Something like … I don’t know, what kind of music you like? Movies? Video games? Or … oh, I don’t know,ever played DnD? Because if not, I can promise you you will, at least once. I may not have musical mind control powers but I
am very charming, after all.”
