Koji chuckled at her question. "Well, I have had requests for those types of scenes, so I'm usually pretty good about keeping them separate." He said, pulling one of the cardboard coasters on the edge of the table towards him. "Though, it's usually easy to keep the apart because they only 'steamy' scenes I get requested are of people's Revolution Dawn characters." Koji laughed a little at it, "You'd be amazed at the kind of things those online gamers want when they come in." He pulled a pen out from behind his ear and started idly doodling on the back of the coaster."Mostly I just get people coming in requesting portraits of their significant other, or a lost loved one. Occasionally a couple portrait."

"So the only people requesting smut are nerds who could probably never experience it. That's fascinating. I bet you have a very creative mind," Nari said teasingly with a big grin. "How did you end up becoming a solo artist?"

Sabe was just about to fall deeply asleep when Luciano slammed the door, startling him. He carefully rolled over and watched Luciano pour himself yet another glass of liquor. That will be one hell of a hangover tomorrow...
He rested his head on the pillow again, still watching. Sabe hoped he would be asleep again soon.

Koji laughed, "Sometimes it feels that way.. I don't mind it too much though, I keep a decency standard on my commissions." He continued sketching as she asked more questions. "Well, when I was a kid, drawing was an escape for me. It let me go into a different world.. that way I didn't have to deal with the kids in the orphanage. Of course, there was always the times when they would steal my pencils and lock me in the closet, but for the most part it helped me through everything." He sighed, realizing who he had started to sketch as his train of thought wandered, then flicked the coaster to the other side of the table so he wouldn't have to look down into his brother's face. "When we left.. it was all I really knew how to do, so Salem got a job working in a warehouse and I set up an easel in downtown Durem and started painting people in the street. That's how I met Foxi. She stood behind me watching me paint portraits for hours and then left after barely talking to me. The next day she came and did the same thing, then again the next day and the next until we were best friends. She convinced me I should open up my own gallery and sell my work there."

Luciano poured himself more bourbon as he did his best to keep his balance. By now he was far too drunk to keep standing, so when he went to go sit down on his couch, Luciano stumbled onto the floor next to it. Lucky for him he didn't spill all of it, so he drank what he could and then passed out onto the floor next to the glass.

As Koji's story continued, Nari inched closer and closer to the table. Her eyes were wide with curiosity. 'Salem? Who's...Oh. The time flashback,' Nari thought and frowned for a moment. "I am absolutely amazed. Many of my accomplishments were because I had a fairly wealthy family backing me...But you! You started from scratch! I applaud you," she said-- almost yelled-- enthusiastically while lightly clapping her hands. "Do you plan on expanding to another store or going online? Because I could surely help you in that department if you're not already in the process!" Nari smiled, hoping that Koji would say yes. If there was anything she loved to hear, it was a report about an up and coming business.

"Well," He continued, after Nari's enthusiasm. "That's actually how I managed to get a shop at all. Not online, but being backed by a family." Koji pulled out a colored marker from his pocket and started filling in the spaces between the accidental marker splotches already on his arm, creating patterns on top of the tattoos. "Foxi comes from one of the underground dark elf cities, and I guess her family has some kind of pull down there. I never really asked what it was that they did, but later I found out that her father was an information broker for the Kuros. She was working as his apprentice then opened a branch of her own in Durem. After she convinced me I should open my own shop, she told me that she had already bought a building. At first I thought she was a little crazy, but I guess I just wasn't used to that sort of generosity. She's been my assistant at the shop even since we opened. She helps run the shop while I do the artwork.. sometimes she helps color the digital pieces when I'm running too far behind." Koji was smiling as he talked about her. He couldn't help it, all of his fondest memories after the death of his brother were shared with her. She had always been there to pick him up when he was down. Plus, seeing how happy they had been together when he traveled to the future had made him realize even more just how much he loved having her in his life.

Calming down a bit, Nari listened intensely and replied, "That's a true friend you have. Cherish her and never let her go. People like her will take you far. Of course, you probably are already aware." As she said this, her mind drifted to Max. "I should thank him sometime..." she said aloud without realizing it.

Sabe was slightly started by the sudden 'thud' from the other side of the room. He lifted his head from the pillow by just a bit to see Luc on the floor in front of the couch, out like a bulb. Oh...
He slowly sat up and looked at Luciano more intently. Then he got up carefully and walked to him at a comfortable pace. Some of his drink was spilled onto the carpet and was now slowly soaking in. Luciano didn't look like he was waking up any time soon, so Sabe went to get a towel to soak up the bourbon and put the glass somewhere right side up before it did too much damage. Then he came back and prepared to lift him up and set him on the more comfortable bed; it seemed wrong to even set him on the couch while Sabe took the bed.
Dragging Luciano back to his bed took Sabe a lot of effort...and wasn't too kind to his sore ribs. He was in tears and a lot of pain by the time they both got there. Sabe hobbled back to the side of the bed he was in and slipped under the covers again, except this time he was close at Luciano's side, hugging him. You shouldn't have to put yourself through this.

Things downtown Durem got boring really fast for the four Brozen cousins, Sophia, Mila, Romero and Juliano. So they all decided to go to Luciano's place- Which is at HQ. Sophia at the wheel, blasting some AMBD while her three cousins talked a little. They haven't seen Luciano since the funeral, so they thought it would be nice to see him- Or at least Juliano and Mila spoke up about it. The other two just tried to make it seem like it wasn't bothering them, but it was.
After they had pulled up to the mansion, Sophia parked the car and the other three got out. Romero ran up to the stoop and banged on the door as hard as he could. Romero shouted, "'Eeeeeeeeeyyyyyyy, you ********! Let us in!!" And then howled. Finding himself hilarious, Romero started laughing. Juliano walked up just a moment later and said, "Nobody finds you funny. Shut up, you idiot."
"Hey! ******** you!!" Romero banged on the door harder while shouting for someone to "open the ******** door". Juliano rolled his eyes and folded his arms. Meanwhile Mila quietly sipped on her juice box and Sophia fixed her hair while chewing her gum.

Waffle was in the kitchen getting a glass of water when she heard the door getting banged on. Are they back already? Don't they have keys? she though, not bothering to address it. She only got the hint after the banging continued. Someone else, then.
She left the kitchen and answered the door. She still hadn't fixed up her appearance. One of Luciano's cousins pushed past her and they all came inside. Her train of thought was lost until everything settled down. Waffle thought about what they were here for, and didn't wait for them to say anything. "He's upstairs. I know that's what you're here for," she said. I don't even have to ask... she added in her thoughts.
Upstairs, Sabe was falling asleep quickly now that he was curled up with Luciano. The extra warmth and the security of having someone to be around, even if he was dead asleep himself, made it easier.

All the noise woke up Louie from his pain induced nap on the couch. He debated for a few moments if he should get up and answer the door or ignore it and pass out again. His mind was made up for him however when he heard someone else beat him to it. He sat up and craned his neck to see if he could catch a glimpse of whoever it was at the door. He gave up trying to be noisy after a few moments and grabbed the fallen remote control. He began flipping through the channels again looking for something to watch.

Romero went straight to the Kitchen after saying a quick ''Sup, b***h?' to Waffle, Sophia plopped down on the couch and pulled out her phone and started texting. This left Mila and Juliano to go upstairs and see Luciano.
Once they made their way up stairs, Mila quietly knocked on Luciano's door. . They waited a couple minutes and she knocked again. "You think he's asleep?" Juliano let out a small 'Hmmmm. . .' Then he said to her, "I'll see if it's locked," Juliano turned the knob and slowly pushed it open. Juliano and Mila looked at each other, then Mila quietly went in first. Suddenly, though, her eyes widened at the sight of a man 'cuddled' up to her cousin, "Oh my. . ." She said, and Juliano cleared his throat, "(Ahem). . . Well, then. . That didn't take long for Luciano to get over Michelle"
"Hush! Luciano loved her more than anything! Luciano would never do. . Well. . ." Mila paused and then said, ". . THAT! Let alone with another guy!"
The two quietly left the room, closed the door, and then went downstairs to tell them he was asleep. Mila went into the kitchen to tell Romero. Juliano was left to tell Sophia about it. . Which may or may not be a smart thing to do.
". . . No. . ********. . . WAY!" She said, Juliano nodded and said "Yes way. . It's. . Kinda sad, though. I didn't think Luciano would take her death so har-" Juliano was interrupted by Sophia suddenly hopping off the couch to run upstairs, "I've GOT to see this for myself!!!"

Waffle rolled her eyes when Romero walked by, and sat on the couch. She saw Louie there watching TV, but didn't say anything. She sat there, watching whatever came up on the screen, sipping her glass of water.
She definitely had ears, though. Waffle found it odd that Juliano came back downstairs so quickly, and listened to what he was saying to Sophia. ...what the ********>
Too bad for Waffle - the water she drank went down the wrong pipe and made her cough violently.
"Ow, god..." she mumbled when the coughing subsided.

Mila came out of the kitchen just in time to see Sophia run upstairs as if her favourite celebrity were residing up there and she found out about it, and Waffle choking. At first it seemed like Sophia had punched Waffle in the throat- One of her favourite things to do- and then run. Mila stood there a moment; totally confused as to what just happened.
Sophia had barged into Luciano room and she almost dropped her phone because of the sight she was seeing, "Ohhhhhhhh my ******** GOD!!!" She said in a loud whisper, then ran back downstairs.
"Ohhhhhh my ******** God- Oh my God!! Dude! You weren't kidding!!" Just then Romero came out of the kitchen with a sandwich and a bottle of beer when he heard Sophia going on about something. "What's going on?" He asked. Mila wasn't sure what just happened, so she didn't say anything. Juliano was about to tell Romero what was going on, but Sophia butted in, "We think some guy has been 'giving it' to Luciano! He's laying next to him right now!" Romero froze in his spot. .
Romero suddenly threw his sandwich and his beer off to the side, the bottle broke once it landed on the floor. Romero darted up the stairs to go to Luciano's room.
"Oh no. . ."
"Oh s**t!!"
"AAAAAAWWWWWW YEEEAAAAHHH!!!!"
And the two went up stairs to stop Romero; Sophia only following behind to 'watch the show'.
