...you won't need any enemies.
If Allesande knew that Tika was giving her the bunny ears the very moment the pictures were taken, the next frame would have shown her trying to land an indignant but amused slap at the Charr.

But Tika had succeeded in lulling the Sylvari in, making her pose happily for an innocent friends photo.
It'd only be later when Allesande would see it, and notice the mischief her Charr friend had been up to.
The slap and best attempt to appear upset of course promptly followed - but while laughing, it's hard to seem truly angry.
And in the end, Allesande knew this is the type of thing to expect around Tika.

And she probably wouldn't have it any other way.
...at least, that is what Tika hopes.
But hey, Allesande still seeks her company, so that must mean something, right?

Though it might also just be all the things the two had lived through together in their friendship that makes Allesande tolerate Tika's antics in calmer times.
But isn't that also a sign of a good friendship in itself?

Tika smirks, satisfied with that conclusion.
Allesande huffs. Shakes her head at Tika's dumb grin. And also smiles.
Yeah.
Things are pretty good these days.

I had always wanted art of these two, and I found  Atajo_Cabeza_Rojo who can both draw Sylvari and Charr, so I jumped on them as soon as I saw the magic words "commissions open" :D
Very happy with it, they captured the dynamic between these two lovable idiot frens very well, and /damn/ is the lighting pretty!

Tika Icewalker is mine.
Allesande of Dawn belongs to a dear friend of mine.
