It wasn't at all obvious the customer was wrong about the cute redhead, though he himself would have more likely chosen 'miss' than ma'am as he saw more girl than woman.  The fact that the redhead didn't correct the customer somewhat reinforced that thought, but could also just be good business.  He thought the tip jar was clever, the well to do often paid more voluntarily than they might ever consider being a reasonable price.  But from what he had seen, the artist had a talent that could be difficult to put a price upon and what would their gender matter anyway, art was art.  He smiled kindly at the customer, ignoring the rather eyeing up, it was hardly the first and it did sort of amuse him without going to his head.<br/><br/>They shared a moment alone together and Lexi's smile was shy but bright, regardless of gender, quite attractive.  Xavier was a little surprised at the invitation to get his nails done.  "I uh, well I'm afraid it would disrespect your craft on my beat up hands."  He said, holding them out and while his nails were well trimmed, one was a dark bruise and several other fingers had cuts and scrapes showing a man who worked with his hands for a living.  He didn't want to admit fearing what his captain or the rest of the crew might say if he showed up with flowers on his fingers.  "Maybe if you did toes?"  He said with a laugh and wiggled his lower digits jokingly though it would be a hell of a surprise for Anna some night.  "I'm going to invite her here for lunch so maybe we will stop by later?  Are you here all day?"  He asked with more than token curiosity.<br/><br/><a class="username" data-user-id="41027" data-username="@MsBloom" data-xf-init="member-tooltip" href="https://bluemoonroleplaying.com/community/members/41027/">@MsBloom</a><br/><br/>Xavier was quite fascinated with the painting, examining it in detail, so that he did miss the artist's arrival at first.  Had Anna been there they would have had quite an animated conversation, the images fit so closely to what they had only privately discussed.  They had experimented with other couples, but found it not quite what they were looking for.  After all it was still pretty much the same kind of sex, just with different partners.  This though, was something quite different, something the felt unique to this particular city at this particular time.<br/><br/>The more obvious clearing of the throat caused him to turn and to see an attractive and puzzlingly familiar face.  "Oh hello there."  He said, stepping back a bit but more as a courtesy than any embarrassment with just how closely he had been examining the work.  The nature of the art co-op made it not entirely clear what role this person had here, if they were shopping themselves or perhaps...<br/><br/>He turned suddenly back to the painting to look, his eyes scanning then focusing on the left edge.  He had noticed that figure especially and the likeness couldn't be a coincidence.  "Is that, you?"  He asked with a look of wonder like a child seeing something uniquely interesting for the first time.  Turning back he apologized.  "Sorry I was just trying to figure out where I'd seen you before.  You're a model?"  He did his own check out at the attractive and mostly masculine person before them.  "I mean you sure look like a model."  It was meant as a compliment but it was clear he was a little befuddled but also very curious.<br/><br/>He would be surprised to learn they were the artist as well.  "So you don't have to actually be looking at the scene to create it?"  His interest would likely appear more than idle.  "Do you use pictures, photos I mean?"<br/><br/><a class="username" data-user-id="19372" data-username="@AndNich123" data-xf-init="member-tooltip" href="https://bluemoonroleplaying.com/community/members/19372/">@AndNich123</a><br/>He was intriqued enough that he was surprised yet again by someone coming upon him from behind.  He of course had a very good guess as to who it was, in fact he need not guess at all.  He immediately turned from the artist/model to his lovely wife, embracing her.  He didn't think it would seem rude, or he hoped not, it was after all the love of his life joining them, certainly this person understood love.<br/><br/>"Honey, this is...  Damn, I'm sorry I didn't even introduce myself.  I'm Xavier, Xavier Rollins and this is my wife Anna."  He said in the way of formal introductions.  "We were just admiring this latest work, what do you think Anna?"  His own approval was obvious but he hoped it wouldn't sway her too much, that and the artist being right there as well.<br/><br/>"I had been wanting to get something special to remember how you are this first year.  Wondering if you would consider posing.  But seeing this, how alive it feels, I wonder if we wouldn't pose together?"  It was a bit much to spring on her, but then again they both knew how much they were interested in finding something more adventurous.  They weren't exactly shy when it came to sex, even sex with others, and sexual content.  He was almost certain she would love the idea as much as he did, otherwise he wouldn't have sprung it on her like this.  "I don't know that anyone can capture what it is like for me to be with you, but if anyone can, I think it might be Leo here."
