With just over five hundred individual projects to work on, it ultimately took him about four months to finish. Some of them were small, fairly easy in comparison to the bigger more elegant designs that were expected of him. Some of the things he had modified and sent off to Charles for approval while he worked on the easy stuff. The biggest thing had been a multi-tiered chandelier that he was pretty excited to see come to life with all the effort that he put in it. It was not only the single most detailed piece, but also the most expensive both in resources and time. With seven tiers, each containing more lights and each of those needing a unique theme, it was a project that had eaten up nearly a month all on its own. He hadn't been happy with the first incarnation of the project, so he had scrapped it and moved right along to trying again. It was a nice break though, a much needed distraction from the situation from Elena.<br/><br/>That situation still ate as his mind, nagged him. They were going to work on it, and they were going to get through it together, he had no doubt of it. That didn't make it an easy transition, or a simple thing to accept – despite how easily he had done so and given into her wants. He was thankful that this big project came up, because it gave him a solid excuse to lock himself away and spend hours upon hours upon hours lost in his art. A very cleansing experience. Of course once it had all been done and shipped off, he couldn't settle for the pictures – photographs couldn't do justice to the beauty of glass. So with a quick discussion with Elena and a phone call to Charles, Jason had set off for Vegas in order to view his work personally. He was confident in his quality, but there was absolutely no harm in checking it out first hand.<br/><br/>Plus a day spent at the tables sounded like a good time.<br/><br/>He'd arrived the day before, and been picked up by Charles – Jason had insisted he could find his own way, but the owner wasn't hearing it. He even put him up in a nice place, despite Jason being perfectly capable of managing such a reservation himself. It was nice to work with a guy who was as genuinely generous as Charles was, so he didn't fight it very hard and went along with it. That day he had spent relaxing, just checking out the city. He got the keys to The Black Dragon site so that he could visit at his leisure – Charles clearly trusted him not to destroy his own work, which was nice. He wanted to explore on his own terms, not be guided around on some tour. Instead of going right away though he spent the night checking out things he wanted to do in Vegas while he was there. He made a mental list, and then got some sleep.<br/><br/>Early the next day – far earlier then anyone should have been awake – Jason hoped in his rental and drove out to the site of the soon to be casino and let himself in. He wanted to be there before anyone else had a chance to get in and mess things up, before the work started, before he could be bothered. He slipped inside easily enough and spent the time looking around at each individual piece of his that he could find. It was admittedly rather fun to try and find every last one of them, since he only had a very vague idea of what each one was being used for.<br/><br/>Finally he had come to the VIP room where the big piece was going to be displayed. He took a deep breath and went into to check it out, and as to be expected it looked as glorious as he had anticipated it too. Jason smiled and moved back to the corner of the room and leaned against the wall, folding his arms over his chest and going quiet so he could contemplate anything he might change on it. This one had to be perfect, and as it was, it was good but he didn't know if it was perfect. Not when it was contrasted by the mural on the wall that caught his eyes. He looked over the start of the work and smiled, it gave him an idea. This chandelier needed something to go with it – and now seeing what it looked like, he knew exactly what it was. This was a piece Charles was going to get for free, for his kindness and enthusiasm... And because Jason wanted his work to look just right in this kind of display.<br/><br/>It was most curious though when he took a breath and looked away from the glass only to see a cat strolling through the room. He blinked a couple of times, trying to figure out how it had gotten in. Had he left a door open? He didn't think so, but in a new building that wasn't entirely finished there were no doubt a thousand ways that it could have made its way in. Things weren't in place yet so he didn't feel a need to disturb the creature – someone else would do that eventually. Except that it wasn't a creature at all. Jason's body went tight as he watched it grow from fuzzy feline to gorgeous girl. There was only one way... His throat tightened like the rest of his body and he made no motion to move.<br/><br/>Only then did it strike him that she was naked, and clearly hadn't realized that he was here yet. He couldn't help but wonder what she was doing, but when he saw her move for the bag with clothing in it and then the painting supplies it occurred to him that she was working here too. Jason pushed himself off the wall to go greet her – aside from Elena, Jason wasn't particularly familiar with any other Evolved, so to have one literally just jump out at him like that was... most intriguing.<br/><br/>Before he could get that far though, Charles came in and he turned his attention there – but he became aware of the fact that the woman now knew that he had been there, what with Charles just putting it out there like that. Jason's smiled and inclined his head at greeting – and in knowing – at Olivia. “They did turn out very nicely Charles,” Jason acknowledged before stepping away from the hard pat that didn't even come close to making him budge.<br/><br/>Approaching Olivia he held out his hand for hers, eyes focused on meeting hers – after all he'd just seen her nude, so there was hardly any reason to check her out more right now, “Jason Vandel, a pleasure to meet you.”
