Alexander Nailo or Lexi to pretty much everyone, sat at his stall carefully adding small touches to the simple wildflowers scene he was painting on the customers nails. Lexi loved painting nails, ever since he was little, and he got into his sister's nail polish. He ended up painting her nails, there mother's nails and even his sister's friends. All loved what he did, that on top of his regular sketching and painting were all signs that Lexi was a talent with a brush. After graduating high school, he went off to art school to study. Many people think of art school is where you learn to do art, and that is wrong, art school is where you learn to make a living of your art. Something Lexi was still struggling to figure out.<br/><br/>Lexi was still trying to find a way to make what he liked to do something he could live from. Lexi had a stack of business cards from pretty much every nail salon in the city that had offered him a position. Lexi politely denied all of them since with school and this co-op project he didn't want to overwhelm himself. Lexi did sell his artificial nail art to many of the business and with that and the co-op Lexi was able to stay financially above water, well not sink as much as some other students.<br/><br/>Lexi smiled back at Leonora as she walked by, Lexi returned the wave as he moved his focus back to the customer. Leo and their girlfriend Jaz were very nice people. Leo was a great help in as Lexi's early college life. They helped him learn more about the Queer alphabet and helped him better identify himself.<br/><br/>"This is wonderful Ma'am! You're a very talented woman." Lexi's customer said admiring her nails before stuffing some bills in Lexi's jar of tips. Lexi didn't charge a set price here but instead have his customers donate by<br/><br/>"Oh, thank you, if you like my art you can follow me here, I also have a list of places I supply with artificial nails from time to time." Lexi explained handing the woman a small business card with Lexi's social medias.<br/><br/>Lexi smiled as the woman left eyeing Xavier like he was one of the art exhibits before moving on to the other stalls. Many customers and people identified Lexi as girl, something that didn't bother him. Lexi himself always felt people can identify him as whatever they like, as long as they were kind about it. Lexi didn't put much weight into pronouns in general, A subject he often was at odds with the larger queer community with. Lexi would never call someone by a pronoun they didn't want to be called but when it came to his personal pronouns and identifiers, Lexi never corrected or asked people to call him by something. If people though as him as her, that was fine by him. If they though of him as him then that was fine too.<br/><br/>Lexi looked at Xavier and gave a kind shy smile. "Why thank you, if your nails done, I can always make room for you sir." Lexi said in a soft voice which didn't really identify his gender. Lexi watched as he sends the text, "I work by donations so if you want a partner's nails done, I can help with that too. I could also help both of you but that may take a few hours depending on how complex of a job you want done. Here you can take one of my cards."
