“You say that now.” He’s deadpan, as usual. But there’s a spark of mischief in his eyes that someone who knew him well – someone like Damian – would know indicated he was joking. But was he joking? He truly did want to covet as much of Damian’s time as the vampire would allow. Between his paintings and Iseul’s crafting of a wardrobe, they would surely have a great deal of time together. Perhaps they could make the changes to one of their homes first and both reside in the other’s util completion. It made sense.

Iseul was definitely looking forward to having unlimited opportunities to spend time in Damian’s company even if his expression was muted.

“I suppose it shall be more tolerable for you when painting me since I’ll have to be still and quiet.”
