[Video; un: ImTayBitch

[Tay's wearing a silver chain necklace, a pretty silk robe that's been left open, has a couple rings on his fingers, and he's holding a coffee mug. If anyone recognizes it, the background is Gaura and Henry's dining room. He gives the screen a warm smile and speaks in a gentle tone.]

Alright ladies and gentlemen, my name is Tay. I'm new here and I need to know the essentials!

I need to know where the party scene is. What clubs do you recommend? Where has the best drinks and music? If you'd rather show me, even better. I promise you, I can keep up.

Also, anyone know where I can get some more modern clothes?

Whatever you can tell me, I'd be most grateful. Thank you and I hope you all have a lovely day.

That would be wonderful, thank you.

[His smile turns a bit sheepish.]

I'm sorry, I don't know this city hardly at all yet. Would you tell me what would be close to the tailor you're talking about or another easy spot to meet?

I know a few places. What kind of drinks do you want to go for? And I can always come to you. I know things pretty well now because I'm always out and about.

[To go back and forth between trainings and home... And because he has a book and sweet addiction.]

[He smirks.]

Normally I'd say the expensive kind, but I'll settle for someplace that makes good cocktails or coffee. Do you like espresso?

[Yes Riley, how do you feel about a strong, bitter coffee drink?]

Noooooo. Nothing bitter for me.

[He's not even ashamed of how he sticks his tongue out to gag.]

But I know a coffee place that has sweet drinks too. So you can get the coffee and I'll get the sweet stuff.

Anyway, here's where you can meet me.

[He shoots over the address of the coffee shop.]

[Tay laughs and agrees to the location. He takes a bit longer to get there since he's new to the city. It's a bit embarrassing meeting a new friend who knows fashion in an outfit borrowed by his new roommates but he can't help it.

He smiles and comes right over when he spots Riley.]

Hey, come here often?

[He chuckles at the joke.]

I come anywhere that has sweet things often.

[And he winks. To be honest everything that comes out of his mouth tends to be flirtatious without him meaning it to be. So there he goes again. He smiles brightly though and waves for the guy to follow him in.]

Order what you want. I don't mind paying.

Do you now? I require a little more than that.

[He chuckles, enjoying thoroughly the flirting.]

Are you sure? You're the one who is here to help me.

Nothing wrong with that. Some people prefer an expensive date over a cheap one.

[He grew up with money but he's still such a cheap date for sweets.]

Yeah! Go for it. Might as well catch me while I have money before I make the mistake of spending it all.

Expensive dates are good, but to 'come anywhere' I need at least some friction.

[He smiles overly innocently.

He shrugs and since it's been offered, he gives a coffee order that has about four or five instructions with it. He sighs when the barista isn't as quick to understand as someone experienced at like a Starbucks would.

Eventually he has what he wants or close to it. And yes, it's a pretty bitter, bold drink.]

Thank you, Riley.

[He laughs at the joke, clearly enjoying it. There's absolutely no sign of him getting flustered by it though. Getting flustered isn't really a part of his nature, after all.

Stepping forward, he orders the sweetest drink on the menu then waves for them to take a seat together after he pays.]

No problem. Kinn mentioned you so it seems fair to take care of you a bit!

[Fashionable, flirty, and fun. This guy is a keeper.]

You know Kinn?

[No offense but Riley does not seem like Kinn's type. He's way too.. happy.]

How did you two meet?

He got hit by a flying pig when he first arrived. So I helped him out and answered his questions. We became friends from it and now he's like my big brother.

[Which is now made all the more fun by the fact that he knows Kinn is definitely Mafia. It's super great after he made up a whole story about it.]

He told me you're a friend of his and that you're here now.

A what? For real?

[His eyes widen at this young man claiming he's so fond of Kinn. No offense to his best friend, but making friends like this isn't what he's known for! If only the guy had a clue what being Kinn's family member was all about.]

Wow.. well.. that's very sweet of him. It's true, though. We've been friends since we were little kids and grew up together. He's high maintenance but we make it work.

[Totally kidding. Tay's the high maintenance one.]

An actual flying pig.

[Which hit Kinn right in the face but he'll spare his brother's dignity at least a little bit by now sharing that detail.]

He did have nice things to say about you so the childhood friend thing definitely tracks.

[And it's great that Kinn isn't alone here anywhere.]

[He laughs and shakes his head. It's really hard to picture that being a real thing, but so is half the other stuff he hears about this place.]

Is that something that happens around here on the regular? Should I be on the look out for pigbirds?

[He takes a sip of his coffee.]

How much do you know about him?

Probably. You never know here.

[Sipping at his drink, he considers what he should really be sharing then decides to be vague since they're in public.]

He's exactly rich and comes from a big name family. He's got an older and younger brother. His cousin is also here but you probably know him. Right now he's got an amazing boyfriend who used to be his bodyguard. Also he does things like use chairs to do pushups on when he doesn't have a gym. He's a badass.

[Another sip and he smiles.]

Also he's super bad at hiding things from anyone who has ever seen any Asian drama ever.

[He snorts hearing Kinn was showing off with the chairs. He's seen him do that before and yes, it was impressive.]

Yeah, Porsche is wonderful and they are perfect for each other.

[He feels that familiar touch of envy but pushes it away.]

What do you mean?

Did you know that he basically acts like any rich crime boss in dramas? And he thinks he totally doesn't.

[He laughs a bit.]

It's really funny actually.

[Tay straight up chokes on his coffee! Sputtering, he waves one of his hands as he coughs. The hot liquid! It burns!]

[Riley blinks in surprise at that.]

You okay there?

[And Kinn says TAY is bad because he used his name on the network??

He takes a couple breathes and nods.]

You didn't say that to him did you?

Sure I have. Repeatedly.

[How is this guy not dead? Kinn is so giving him a good explanation for this!]

Huh.

[He points at the sketches.]

Show me some more of your drawings.

[Reaching into his bag, he pulls out the stack of papers so he can show the different ideas he's come up with.]

Basically I go and give the person pictures I've drawn and then they work on trying to recreate it after getting my measurements. It's pretty fun and lets me try out different things. They seem to really like it too.

[Well.. that was easy. Would it have been just as simple to shake his keys in front of Riley's face?

He scoots closer and examines some of the designs. He sets a couple aside, like the jeans and a couple of shirts.]

How quickly does it take them to make these? You have to understand, I live for fashion back home and this place is driving me crazy! I have two housemates and one dresses from the Victorian era- which can be sort of cool but not always- and the other just doesn't seem to care what he wears at all. So it's not a lot of fun to borrow their things. Plus their stuff is too big.
