Darren took notice of Isabelle's handshake, noticing the warmth of her palm and its softness. "Pleasure's all mine, for sure."<br/><br/>Leisurely walking behind her, Darren followed Isabelle to her office. The more he walked through the studio, the more normal everything seemed - offices, people doing business, having discussions. Weren't there the occasional glossy movie posters on the one or other wall, this could really be just any company.<br/><br/>Isabelle's office was the continuation of all this, except for the fact that it certainly looked more feminine than the standard CEO office maybe. Darren followed her and sat in the visitor's chair right across from her, crossing his legs and reclining. This became more and more relaxing... Isabelle surely had a way to set potential talents at ease. Might be more efficient for the real part of the audition.<br/><br/><em>"So, Darren. Do you happen to have a portfolio? And what got you interested in working in porn if I may ask?"</em><br/><br/>"Well, I don't have a lined, bound and decked off portfolio, but I have these shots of me," Darren said, placing the manila envelope on Isabelle's desk and with a slight push of his fingertips sending it sliding to her end of the desk. "It also holds the print-out of my application sheet, and my STD and HIV test results. I'm clean, just to anticipate the results, but check for yourself."<br/><br/>"As for what got me interested... well, the short of it is that my college scholarship got cancelled, and I need to raise the money for my living and tuition by myself, and rather quickly so. And a friend of mine, who used to work for you - Ryan Rocks - referred me to your talent search. And here I am."<br/><br/>Darren paused for a moment, then bent forward on his seat. "I'm not only in for the money, of course. The whole branch has caught my interest for a long time - more off screen than on screen. You must admit that it has undergone a radical change in the past years, now being accepted as legit among many. And I can very well imagine being part of this business - as an actor, or whatever position you can offer me."
