Welcome to Gaia! ::

"yo tor!! you finally opening your own brand of artistic madness to the community here as well?" Taka peeked his head inside and called into the newly decorated studio. "I sure hope the others here have enough self confidence to handle the situation. However, I'm sure you'll do a wonderful job with the ones you do choose."
Rubbing his temples after a long day of construction not yet over, "You could say that..." He draws in a breath and lets it out slowly. "I'll just have to wait and see what I have to work with. What're you doing around this late Taka?"
Bringing out a carefully selected bottle of red wine from behind his back, Taka replied cautiously "Well, I heard that your studio was under construction again, and since I was unsure if I could make the grand opening, I wanted to give you a celebratory gift before I went on another trip. In fact I've been packing to get ready."
His mouth thins, "Are you serious? You travel more than I do!"
After a contemplative pause he smiles at the wine and gets up from his stool murmuring, "You're great. You're the only one who knows what I like. My friend this morning kept trying to push white wine on me. Stuff's too sweet for my tastes." Sighing a little he goes to find some clean cups not filled with paint for "touch-ups" around the studio. He returns with two stout glasses and clears off a table with his foot before setting them down. "So when do you plan on being back?"
Taka was playing with the bottle opener he produced from a different bag. "I remembered someone mentioning that you had a taste for the good red wines. Besides, somehow that just fits the image of you so much better." Graciously accepting the two glasses. "As for the travel, I actually wish I didn't have to go. It's mostly for some business and legal issues that have come up. Guaranteed to be a dull time. Luckily it should only be for a day, two at most. Then I'll swing by again and check up on everyone. I also have my laptop with me, so I'll always be in contact."
He smiles, feeling a little better that Taka would be having a dreadful time and still be in touch. "I see...sorry to hear that. By the time you get back things should be all put together. The whole studio is going to be black and white. Crisp. Definite. Lots of Sharpie hearts. I'm going to be so sick of hearts pretty soon. It'll be good. You'll see it when you get back."
Taking the bottle of red wine in one hand he opens the other to Taka, "Allow me to open this bad boy. I've been dying for a good drink the whole day."
Reading the change in the demeanor of Torence's face, Taka knew what the other was thinking. "I see you still haven't changed. Can't stand to know others are having fun while you're toiling away? C'mon even slight jealousy doesn't suit you. You'll get wrinkles that way..." Taka teased lightly. "In any case... after the snorefest and the rest of my term, hopefully I'll be able to take a break and just enjoy summer jobs and a little bit of fun travel."

Getting off the topic of travel, Taka turned back to the studio. "Black and white sounds nice. A good, simple design, but playing off your talents perfectly. Although I agree with the people that come through, you might go crazy from all the hearts. However, it is like your signature now. Maybe someday if you create different ideas and lines of models, can switch up... in any case, it's something to look forward to." Taka was talking as he surrendered the bottle to Torence. Somehow he felt that Tor would treat the wine like a valued treasure. Rather than Taka who treats a lot of different alcohols as part of his after school job.
"Thank you miss pink hair. To bad everything is still a mess." He rubs the back of his neck tiredly in thought before staring at Taka in disbelief, "Are you ******** kidding me!? Don't talk like that! I will NEVER have wrinkles... That's what botox and .... electric shock therapy is for." He grumps and pops the cork on the bottle expertly. This is obviously not his first bottle. "Well, if this all goes well then I'll have to think of another theme. Something loud and obnoxious..." He muses while pouring his friend a cupful of wine.
"Oh yeah. Steal a pen for me on your trip."
"You're right. I was kidding. Something about that moment of panic in your eyes just sets me in a good mood. I think that idiot is rubbing off on me more than I realised." Taka was elusively referring to his "boyfriend" Keiji. "Speaking of the fool, I think loud and obnoxious might suit him just right."

"A pen? That's all the specifics you really want to leave me with? At least let me know if you want ball point or felt tip, or gel ink... something to go on. I might just have to steal a few for you and then let you choose." Taka waited for his companion to pour himself a drink. Half aware of sniffing the wine to get the full aroma in his mind.

He snorts, "You pig. Your sort of jokes will be the cause of my wrinkles if anything. Ohhh..hmm.. Pens. Just whatever amuses you best. I like ripping off those fancy restaurants since they're the ones with the best pens." He chuckles and lifts his glass, swirling the wine idly.

His eyes wander to the meandering traffic. "Fine creatures, maybe you'll meet one durning normal hours." He interjects to his casually observing female friend.

"I'm so glad you brought red wine." He sighs, touching the glass to his lips and taking a dainty sip.
Giving a sort of roguish grin at Torence, Taka replys playfully, "Awww, you know I couldn't give wrinkles to your face. That would just be mean. Now Paul... I wouldn't mind causing wrinkles to him... if I didn't think he already had some. As for pens, I'll make sure to use the company budget to go to some nice places. Might as well get my money's worth while I'm at it..."

"I'm glad you like the wine." Taka smiled warmly as he took a sip and let the flavor spread over his tongue.
"Paul probably does, but when he's old. He'll probably have wrinkles on his wrinkles." He snickers and finishes the rest of his wine, content. "Well I hope you'll treat yourself because that means you'll have top notch food and I'll get a top notch pen. Thank you again for the wine. It'll be my baby until you come back with more." He jests, "Have a safe trip even if it's dangerously boring. I better finish up and then take a nap before the official morning hours arrive."
