Dawn is just about to drink from the glass of orange juice she poured, when the mechanical sound pulls her attention away, to the sight of Donna standing a few feet away with camera in hand.

“Did you just take my picture?” she asks, before taking the awaited drink.

Donna looks very much like the cat with the canary, letting the camera drop to her side, as her expression quickly shifts to apologetic.

“Sorry,” she states. “I just-” Pointing at the windows to where the sun is just cresting over the east bay hills, and pouring into the tower. “The light, and you looking all...” She makes an emphatic hand gesture. “It felt like a good picture.”

Dawn takes another sip of juice, glancing toward the windows, then back to her teammate.

“Was it?”

Donna looks at her, confused.

“Was what?”

Dawn rolls her eyes.

“A good picture.”

Donna brings the camera back up so swiftly, she nearly drops it, cursing both inward and outwardly. Never is she caught so unaware. Always cool and calm under pressure. The one the team can count on as a solid backbone. Guess all it takes is a pretty girl, with some adorable bedhead, wearing only a sweater at barely seven in the morning to get such a steady hand to shake.

“Y-yeah,” she assures, reviewing the photo on her camera screen. “Exactly what I wanted.”

Dawn smiles at her, and Donna wills herself not to show any reaction at all, though she must fail in some way because the smile only grows bigger. She doesn't dare move, only watching as the glass in Dawn's hand is placed empty atop the counter, and turns to press the small of her back against its edge.

“Do you want to take another?”

“What?”

Dawn points at the camera.

“Right,” Donna agrees, looking at it as if it's the first time she's ever even held a camera. “Sure.” Then brings the viewfinder up to her eyes, and adjusts the focus.

“How do you want me?” Dawn asks.

Donna nearly bites the tip of her tongue, holding back a sound that wants so desperately to come out, at the teasing tone of the question.

“Natural, I guess?”

“Natural?” Dawn echoes. “Sounds kind of boring.”

Donna clears her throat.

“Did you have something in mind?”

Dawn smirks, lifting her right leg and being it at the knee just so, looking square into the lens like a siren leading sailors to their doom. Donna hits the shutter three times in quick succession, then again when Dawn spins around, pressing into the counter top with that same look over her shoulder.

“Have you done this before?” she asks.

Dawn lets that leg slip back down, fingers drumming idly against the granite.

“Done what?”

“Modeled,” Donna clarifies. “Kind of. Whatever this is. I mean, you are not shy in front of a camera.”

Dawn shrugs as if she's never given it much thought.

“Promo shots for the ballet company,” she answers. “But the director did used to say I had a certain, how you say, charisma.”

Donna scrolls through the photos taken, and agrees wholeheartedly. She's about to ask what next, when Dawn pushes away from the counter, does a few dance moves she's sure have names, but no idea what they could be. The camera clicks away, as Donna tells herself to focus on quality, and not the bare dancer's legs extended for all their worth in the middle of the kitchen.

The light hits Dawn's platinum locks at just the right angle, making it look as if her hair has gone from silver to gold in the blink of an eye. Donna has no idea what to do with such photographs, but she keeps on taking them, Dawn nearly going through a full routine for the fun of it.

Dawn bows when finished, breathing somewhat heavily as she's out of practice, but grins when Donna playfully claps with camera still in hand. She comes over the review the pictures, nodding in approval as Donna gushes about how good the light is, and the shadow of her form making a perfect mirror.

Dawn frowns at the word form, lamenting that her arabesque is not what it used to be, and Donna can't help to poke.

“Yeah, yeah prima ballerina,” she teases. “The fraction of an inch you may be off, does not make you look any less gorgeous.”

Dawn's eyes flick up toward her, and Donna feels her stomach drop.

“You think I'm gorgeous?” she asks, voice gone soft.

Donna offers up the screen.

“Obviously,” she states.

Dawn looks at the picture.

“I don't mean as a subject,” she presses.

Donna doesn't reply for a moment, because her brain has suddenly lost all capacity for words, but allows a barely audible yes. Dawn looks pleased as punch with the answer, and Donna is expecting to be teased and tormented, but they both stay silent for a moment.

“I mean,” Donna cuts the moment down, “If I didn't, I would have bit your head off for wearing one of my sweaters without asking.”

Dawn looks down at the single item of clothing.

“This is yours?”

Donna nods.

“Gray is yours,” she informs. “Dark blue is mine.”

Dawn plays with the hem that barely covers half her thigh.

“Do you want it back?”

Donna's eyes shoot down, then back up.

“No, it's okay. Really I was just-”

“Donna,” Dawn interrupts, a look in her eye reflective of the pictures taken, as she slowly begins to pull up at the sweaters hem. “Take it back.”
