Directions and a Make-Over (Aiden)

[Mirage]

Continued from The Sanity Center Serenity sat there for a moment, genuine surprise on her face. Never before had anyone been so bold as to ask such a thing of her, and really the woman was unsure how to answer. Clearing her throat, ignoring the slight redding of her cheeks, she spoke, "My, I can honestly say I have never been asked such a question before." A faint smile reflected the bit of happiness it brought her though, "Though I think here and now might be a bit inappropriate for such a thing. Now, if it is lodging you are looking for I would be more than happy to assist you." A little more cheer coated Serenity's words as she spoke. The request, though it seemed to be turned down, had non the less put her into a much better mood.

Aiden, Season of Summer, 12th Day, 512 AV He smiled, beginning to pack his things back up. Aiden had figured she would deny him, but that was okay. It was only a tool to get to where he wanted. "It's a shame. I would have people lining up to see you, not just ask all these questions about about the city. My offer will always stand for you, so remember that." He winked and nodded at her. She wouldn't ever take him up on the offer he extended, he was sure of, but it didn't really matter. Just a foot in the door with people was all he needed. "Yes, I do need a place to stay. As maddening as this place seems like it can be, I quite like it here. Temporary lodging for the Summer will do. After I've adjusted to lifestyle more, perhaps I'll extend or even make my residence permanent. In addition, I seek employment. I delight in the...pleasures of the body, of the senses. Dancing, perfumes, sensual massages, makeups, I've dabbled in all of it...and more than dabbled in others.. He leaned in close to her, a tiny smirk on his face. His eyes danced with excitement, betraying the calmness on his face. Each of his movements were smooth and sensual, as though every step were a dance. "Do you have anywhere I can be used?"

Serenity actually laughed, "My dear boy they line up to see me as it is, why would I wish to increase the numbers further?" Chuckling softly the woman waved a hand, "Really you are far too flattering for your own good." Pushing back her chair Serenity stood and moved to a filing cabinet nearby. Opening the middle drawer she began flipping through papers, speaking as she did so, "Well then you are in need of a job and a place to stay. Tell me what is your budget currently, and do you wish to try and set up a vendor's stand in the Bazzar for your craft?"

oocI'm not sure how to handle this now. I got caught up with another PC and spaced off Aiden and now it's Fall. I'll take any direction in this matter.

Aiden, Season of Summer, 12th Day, 512 AV Aiden nodded at the woman, his light brown eyes never breaking with hers. "I suppose you are an extremely busy woman. A little attention not related to work couldn't be that bad," he teased, accepting her refusal of his services. "I don't need anything too extravagant," he began. "All of the supplies I have are on me here, so I don't require much in the way of room. I've got enough mizas to live a few seasons here as long as it's not terribly lavish. I suppose one room with a simple bed and chest will do. If I find I enjoy it here, I'll surely have to bother you again for a more permanent residence." The effeminate man crossed his small arms, petite fingers tapping against his upper arms. "A stand?" he mused, contemplating the idea of it for a moment. While there was a lot he could do, he didn't think himself talented enough in any one area to really run his own stand. After a moments pause, Aiden continued. "If there is nowhere already established in the city, then it would appear I don't have a choice, do I? I would prefer to work under one who could help me improve my skills, but I suppose I should get used to relying on myself in a city like this, hmm?" He smiled gently at the woman, before nodding once again. "I've kept you plenty busy, so if it would please you, let's discuss the rates of these two? Simple housing for a season, and a stand, almost a beauty parlor, I suppose. What will it be?" He dug into his bag, pulling out his coin purse, ready to count out the needed amounts.
