Welcome to Gaia! ::

Wil was hauling himself home after too hot of a day in the sun. He noticed Hellbine immediately, smiling around the smoke in his mouth. He'd finish it on the porch before he went inside.

"Hey little guy," Wil's feet were heavy on the stairs, dragging lazily. He approached with scritching fingers towards Hellbine, "Workin your magic? How's your dads?"

They needed some hang out time again- aka Hellbine helping him make money.

Wil gave him scratches, hovering at the window box a second to run his fingers over the plants that had just sprouted. He sniffed his fingers, basil, and shook his head a bit.

"Gonna hang out, dude?" Wil scooped Hellbine up in one hand and put him on his shoulder as he made for the front door with keys in hand. He found it wasn't locked, which meant Nasir was home, and inside the entryway he ditched his shoes with a yawn.

"Home!"

"We got a visitor too," Wil meandered slowly into the kitchen, thumbing at his back when he approached to lean in and give Nasir a squeeze and a kiss. "Just the one cat though. You're cat girlfriend is lazy I think."

Yes he'd started calling Violetta Nasir's cat girlfriend.

Wil then hovered a bit over the wings, trying to decide if he should eat or smoke first. Or maybe a drink. Choices.

Wil picked up the smoothie to take a sip and lick pink off of his lips before he made a yummy sound. It was a moment before he spoke because strawberry banana was a favorite.

"Not sure.." Wil spun his back so the cat was presented to Nasir for inspection (and hopefully so he could be moved to take the bag off). "I think coming by here any time would get him in trouble with the Detective... but you do have basil growing in the box out front now."

Feeling his bag lighten, Wil straightened and shrugged out of it. He took another sip of smoothie and turned to watch his boyfriend pet the little cat.

"What's that?" He'd become acquainted with Hellbine hiding things in his collar, though he always forgot about it until something was peeking out or falling loose. He'd found a 10 dollar bill in there when they were cat sitting.

His nose twitched to the smell, not finding it unpleasant but a bit more accustomed to dealing with smokey scents.

Wil took Hellbine in his hands, cradled him to his chest and gave him more scritches. Maybe they should get a pet.. he liked having something small and fluffy around.

The clatter of the key had him blinking and bending to pick it up. The metal was pale but heavy and the artisan in him had him wondering what it was made of exactly.

"It doesn't say where or anything?" Wil blinked slowly, grabbing for the envelope itself and getting his own dose of the burned flavor on his tongue. He made a face a bit as he rolled his tongue around in his mouth.

He reached for just the envelope, sliding it out from behind the invitation Nasir was reading. Flipping it there was a scrawled name, "Mr. Mercer."

Wil blinked, not thinking either Mr. Mercer (since there were two of them now) would be inviting them to a party - but maybe they'd made a good impression after the cat sitting. He didn't even think they shouldn't go. Not if the older men had sent this along with Hellbine.

Detective Mercer had told Wil the only way to be safe was to not be involved... so if he was inviting them than it had to be safe.

The logic was sound so Wil shrugged and put the key and envelope down. "So like-" He blinked slow, "What's appropriately dressed mean?"
