[He likes Jane too much to bore her to death. Maybe they'll have to revisit the tattoo thing later on and give her something to really sink her artistic teeth into. Are tramp stamps still in vogue?]
How about a photograph of someone? I snapped a picture of a friend once--nothing special--but he's left Wonderland now. You know what they say, a picture's worth a thousand words. Could you work with that?
[His tone is light and the request casual, like he'd be fine either way if Jane declined, but the asking says what he doesn't in so many words--the photograph might not have been all that special, but the person in it is. He can live with pictures and mementos to remember Alistair by--that's way more than he has of some people--but he'd seen Jane's sketchbook. He'd seen the careful detail she'd put into each portrait, teasing out hidden depths with each pencil line.
Maybe it's corny. Call him a sap, but he can think of one person in Wonderland who might appreciate something physical they could hold in their hands.]
