A gentle wave of relief washed over Blue as Devin confirmed what Eivind had been so blindly sure of: he was talented. He could sell. He could make money doing what he loved. People would actually<i>want </i>his work. Sure, he had always done well enough for himself selling at the arts and crafts fairs, but he never put much stock in that. Whenever those fairs were being held and streets were shut down to allow the browsers to wander without having to worry about being run down by an angry city driver, Blue knew he would pocket a decent hunk of change. His work was often admired by yoga instructors looking to create a certain atmosphere in their studios, or slow-speaking smilers with scents laced with patchouli or marijuana, neither of which he minded. Every once in a while a casually dressed, innocuous-looking individual would snatch up one of his darker pieces. That would always intrigue him, but paintings like his that depicted blood, snarling beasts, limp bodies, they had only a very narrow appeal. He didn't think it would be best to work on those pieces just yet, not when he was just attempting to establish himself as Devin was suggesting.<br/><br/>"I'm sure Eivind would be willing to build me whatever I asked," Blue responded, blushing slightly. He hadn't failed to notice just how eager the wolf was to please him, sexually or otherwise. It was an unusual thing for Blue, but certainly not something unwelcome. He was nervous about the idea of setting up a website separate from Eivind's, but Devin was the expert, not him. If it was something she thought would benefit him, he'd be willing to go along with it. "However you want to set up the website is fine with me," he said, wringing his hands together, somewhat anxious. "I just don't want it to be too separate from the company, if possible? I like the idea of linking things together, and the promotion will be good." He paused, sighing and looking over to the dresser, analyzing the intricate, twisting branches he had painted along its surface.<br/><br/>"I guess I'm just a little nervous. Eivind gave me a bit of a cushion, allowing me to tag onto what he already has set up. But if you think my work can stand on its own, then I'm willing to try that out. I can definitely work on some new paintings. Eivind and I have been getting used to being a domesticated couple, but I'll tell him to stop pawing at me so I can get some work done."<br/><br/>Once the business side of the conversation was over, Devin began asking Blue questions. He sat down on the bed and answered them happily, more than willing to share himself with Devin. He found he liked the she-wolf immensely; she was intelligent, charming, and had a calm demeanor about her, and it was obvious she knew what she was doing when it came to setting up advertising for Eivind's company. Blue thought he was lucky to have someone like her working for him, because as much as Blue loved his wolf, he didn't think Eivind would have any idea what to do if Devin weren't around to take care things for him.<br/><br/>Eivind was back much sooner than Blue anticipated, the small wolf following closely behind him. Blue laughed when Eivind said Sig had simply been lounging lazily by the lake, never having strayed all that far. "Well, I was obviously worried for nothing," Blue mumbled, though he wasn't upset, simply relieved that nothing had happened to his friend. "I'm sorry for all the nonsense you got dragged into," Blue continued, feeling somewhat guilty about the shit Sig had been forced to deal with on his behalf. "We really appreciate everything you did for us. I'm glad you're okay."<br/><br/>Sig seemed to forget his irritation quickly, his eyes zeroing in on Devin. He was obviously a fan. Devin didn't show immediate interest, more focused on relaying to Eivind her plans in the simplest way. Blue didn't disagree with her method; there was no point in going into detail with Eivind as he was likely to agree to whatever she and Blue wanted without hesitation.<br/><br/>"I'm not sure what all we have in the fridge, but I'm always down for attractive men cooking for me," Blue laughed, standing from the bed and walking over to wrap himself around Eivind's arm. "Devin, please stay, if you can. I'd love to hear more about your ideas for the site."
