[It's been a couple months since he last came on the network but that's not about to bother this Fae. He's all smiles as he comes up.]

Hi. I was kind of in the mood to chat so I guess here I am.

[He shrugs but he's not about to be anything but honest. Because he really can't be anything but honest anyway.]

One of my big passions in life is art. I've been drawing a lot here and I even got to help design one of the businesses. It's been pretty great but I've been wondering something...

Would people like seeing someone selling art? Offering commissions? Maybe even helping to design homes or businesses? I think it could be a lot of fun. But also I was just curious to see what kind of art people were the most interested in seeing.

Or if there's other artists out there! We should hang out if there are!

[He gives a wave.]

I'm Riley for anyone who hasn't met me yet. It's nice to meet you!

Is that the question of a cute boyfriend who wants to see me and show me that fur up close?

[thescorpionking]

Yes. {He tilts his head and...wiggles his ears. Is his cuteness working?} My fur is very soft.

[hideawayparadise]

[Riley giggles again.] Yes. Let's meet somewhere since I'm out right now.

[thescorpionking]

I'll come to you. With clothes on. {He chuckles and gets dressed again.}

[hideawayparadise]

[He turns so he can show the bookshop he's at.]

We can find somewhere to go after you get here.

[thescorpionking]

I can hardly say no to a bookshop. {He makes the trip to said shop and lets himself inside. It takes him a minute to find Riley and wrap his boyfriend in a warm hug.}

[hideawayparadise]

[While waiting, Riley has definitely gotten himself into the middle of a pile of books and it looks like he's trying to figure out what ones he can carry this trip when arms wrap around him. Grinning, he leans back into the hug.]

Hiiiii.

[thescorpionking]

{Xie kisses the side of his head and reaches to help with the books.}

Let me help you carry them. That way you can buy more~

[hideawayparadise]

[Riley gasps and turns in his arms.]

Really? You'll help me carry them?

[thescorpionking]

I am your boyfriend. {He tuts and kisses Riley's nose.} Besides, I love books too.

[hideawayparadise]

[The way his face lights up more than says what he thinks of the offer. Throwing his arms around his neck basically puts himself in Xie's lap but he doesn't care.]

Thank you, thank you, thank you!

[thescorpionking]

{He has no problem cuddling a cute Fae! It's good to see his A-Ley happy. He nuzzles their lips together and hugs Riley tightly.}

You can depend on me, love. Just promise I can read any book you are finished with.

[hideawayparadise]

Yes! Of course! You can always ready any of my books.

[He gives him a quick kiss then officially tucks himself onto his lap as he expands his decision making process.]

I'll try to be quick so we can head out.

[thescorpionking]

Don't rush. I like holding you. {Xie murmurs, hugging Riley to him while he makes his decisions.} I could hold you all day long.

[hideawayparadise]

The good news is that you're one of the most comfortable chairs I've ever sat in. [He smiles at him then hums in thought as he picks between the many stacks around them.]

[thescorpionking]

{Chuckling, he rests his cheek against Riley's shoulder and watches the process.}

It must be all of my fur.

[hideawayparadise]

Well I thought you were comfortable even before that. You're just a very comfortable person!

[thescorpionking]

I think we just fit together well. {He rubs over Riley's sides and kisses his shoulder.}

[hideawayparadise]

Like we were meant to be, right? That's what it feels like to me when you hold me.

[thescorpionking]

Exactly. {Xie closes his eyes and breathes in Riley's scent.} You feel like a good dream.

[hideawayparadise]

You're my good dream too. Don't you forget that. [He smiles at him and then studies his piles again. Is this good now? Hmmmmm...]

[thescorpionking]

I want to be your good reality too. {Xie peeks at the books, reading the titles and random pages.}

[hideawayparadise]

I think I've settled on my choices. This pile here will go today and the others I can come back for.

[It's a big pile but between them he knows they can manage it.]

Wanna help me take these to the front to buy them? Then we can find somewhere to make some dreams come true.

[thescorpionking]

Good choices. {Xie lifts up a sizable stack and rests his chin on the top book.} I'm ready when you are.

{To buy the books and to make dreams come true.}

[hideawayparadise]

Wow...you're so strong.

[He marvels for a second then quickly leads the way up front so that way he can pay for the books. Which he does and takes one of the bags of books and lets Xie get the other.]

I wonder if there's like a hot spring or an inn or something we can visit near here... Did you see anything on your way to the bookshop?
