Kurt Braun (Sep 12, 2010 12:00:09 AM)
Kurt made his way over to the vase and just gazed at it with a bit of wonder.

Kaia Skaare (Sep 12, 2010 12:01:47 AM)
::she smiles, looking up to Kurt, speaking softly:: It's one of my favorites.. I hate to let it go. ::as she continues to pace around the room, aimlessly, making sure everything is displayed to the best it can be, even the art that isn't hers::

Kurt Braun (Sep 12, 2010 12:02:56 AM)
Kurt looked at it half amazed. "It's...it's beautiful..."

Kaia Skaare (Sep 12, 2010 12:03:38 AM)
::she smiles:: I love the color... it ended up perfectly...

Saxon Payne (Sep 12, 2010 12:04:01 AM)
He moves with the slow deliberation of someone who has all the time in the world, a contemplative man with a keen mind that mulled over the slightest of details. That languidity, sombre and drawn out, only added to his presence, which was at once tragic and refined. The long, transluescent strands of his hair clung in places to the velvet of his jacket, shaken loose now and again by the shift of his stance as he admired the work on display.

Kaia Skaare (Sep 12, 2010 12:08:36 AM)
::her eyes move towards Saxon, looking him over curiously, careful not to stare, and she smiles softly, eyes studying him a few more seconds, before she looks back to Kurt:: Part of the reason I love working with glass. ::she gestures to the side of the vase, and there's a matching face, with varying shades of blue and silver, running through, another exquisitely done vase:: Sunburst, and Evening Star.... Ideally, I'd sell them as a pair... I created them simultaneously.

Kurt Braun (Sep 12, 2010 12:09:03 AM)
"I don't know if I've ever seen a vase liek this before... kinda make all the others I've seen pale in comparison."

Kurt Braun (Sep 12, 2010 12:10:00 AM)
"They're amazing Kaia... truly they are."

Kaia Skaare (Sep 12, 2010 12:10:11 AM)
::each is exquisitely done and demonstrated perfectly, the colors are brilliant beneath the lights, and each seems to shine and sparkle with its own luster, Kaia's fingertips brush the columns that the vases rest on:: Thank you.. I like them as well.

Kaia Skaare (Sep 12, 2010 12:10:40 AM)
::the tone of her voice expresses more than 'like' feelings for her passion::

Kurt Braun (Sep 12, 2010 12:13:08 AM)
Kurt smiled to her. "I can tell, and it shows in the work."

Saxon Payne (Sep 12, 2010 12:14:14 AM)
He reaches into his jacket and produces a silver cigarette case, flicking it open and arranging the cloves a moment as his lips form into a momentary moue. Closing the case, he deposits it back where it had been extracted from, lifting his chin a fraction as he scans the gallery once again. A sad smile graces his lips when he makes note of the pair by the complimenting vases, and he stands there frozen in the moment for a few heartbeats before venturing closer.

Kaia Skaare (Sep 12, 2010 12:17:12 AM)
::she smiles and nods, watching Saxon as he approaches, and stepping back a little, to allow him plenty of room, and a good view of them:: Good evening, Sir. ::said with thick accent::

Kurt Braun (Sep 12, 2010 12:20:04 AM)
Kurt stepped back to allow the man to look at the vases. He kissed the top of Kaia's head and smiled to her, whispering. "I'm gonna let you do your hostess thing while I look at the other pieces. " He smiled to her again and wandered off looking at the other pieces.

Saxon Payne (Sep 12, 2010 12:20:39 AM)
He quirks a white brow, tipping his hat and ducking his head with a soft drawn breath, as though tasting a subtle scent on the air. "Good evening to you, miss." His accent a perfect match to her own, though he remains speaking English.

Kaia Skaare (Sep 12, 2010 12:21:17 AM)
(Icelandic?)

Saxon Payne (Sep 12, 2010 12:22:21 AM)
[Sure sounds like it.]

Kaia Skaare (Sep 12, 2010 12:23:32 AM)
::she blinks to Kurt and she smiles softly, nodding to him, before she looks to Sax, and smiles, though she perks a brow, speaking in quiet Icelandic:: You are from Iceland, Sir?

Saxon Payne (Sep 12, 2010 12:26:53 AM)
He smiles sadly, giving a slow shake of his head as he refrains from a verbal response. He instead clasps both hands on the cap of his cane, looking down an extended moment upon the vases Kurt had been inspecting.

Kaia Skaare (Sep 12, 2010 12:27:56 AM)
::she nods to him:: Is there a particular piece of art that catches your eye... or do you have something in mind?

Kurt Braun (Sep 12, 2010 12:31:13 AM)
Kurt looked at the other pieces, stopping and staring at them for quite some time. It was easy to see being ina Gallery was kind of a new thing for him, as he looked at all of the art with fresh eyes.

Kaia Skaare (Sep 12, 2010 12:33:59 AM)
::Kaia stepped back a few steps, heels clicking, to not crowd Sax, and she remained near, but didn't hover, watching Kurt a moment as he began to look over pieces, and she grins, shaking her head::

Saxon Payne (Sep 12, 2010 12:34:04 AM)
He looks up to her, studying her from behind the dark lenses of his glasses, taking his time formulating a reply. He removes his glasses, and a silken hand kerchief, letting his violet-tinted gaze shift away from her to study Kurt's wonderment as he polishes the lenses. "I have a preference for antiques and unique pieces, miss." His voice still perfectly accented to mirror her own.

Kaia Skaare (Sep 12, 2010 12:36:57 AM)
::she nods:: We have some antique pieces upstairs, as well as our sister gallery, one block down. ::providing the address:: As for unique, each piece is just that. ::brow a bit confused as she tries to figure out the accent part::

Kurt Braun (Sep 12, 2010 12:39:57 AM)
Kurt was still looking around, he kept his hands behind his back for fear he might become too tempted and try and touch the artwork. He was certainly not the normal snooty type of person, He was a lover of beautiful things and it showed as he looked around the gallery.

Saxon Payne (Sep 12, 2010 12:40:33 AM)
"Does that bother you?" His accent suddenly a very crisp Oxford British, replacing his glasses and pushing them up his nose. He smiles sadly as he once again produces his cigarette case to arrange the cloves within.

Kaia Skaare (Sep 12, 2010 12:42:06 AM)
::she flicks an eyebrow as she switches:: I'm sorry? ::studying the man curiously, her fingers already itching to draw::

Saxon Payne (Sep 12, 2010 12:45:21 AM)
"That is unfortunate." He snaps his cigarette case shut with a rather audible click, tucking it securely away again, his accent adjusting itself to that of the localflavour of Cajun French.

Kaia Skaare (Sep 12, 2010 12:49:10 AM)
::she shrugs a shoulder, looking to him:: Perhaps... ::hearing him close the case, she tilts her head a bit:: Please... enjoy looking about the gallery.. ::biting her lip, rather than spit back a more lively response::

Saxon Payne (Sep 12, 2010 12:52:20 AM)
"Charming." His lips form into a brief moue, and he tips his hat. "I believe I've already admired the finest there is to see here too long." Sighing as he lingers there, watching Kurt go around the gallery in amazement.

Kurt Braun (Sep 12, 2010 12:52:22 AM)
Still wondering around and looking at the art, with an almost child-like grin on his face.

Lukas Vangelis (Sep 12, 2010 12:53:10 AM)
*texts Kaia, from his truck..rather than walk in and empty her gallery*

Kaia Skaare (Sep 12, 2010 12:54:44 AM)
::she flicks her eyebrow, shaking her head a bit, as she moves towards her desk, to her chiming phone, heels clicking, doing her best not to let the tone in her voice be too icy:: Perhaps if you keep looking, you'll find what you need..

Saxon Payne (Sep 12, 2010 12:55:04 AM)
Lukas can see an old Hearse out in the lot. [lol]

Kaia Skaare (Sep 12, 2010 12:55:08 AM)
::she checks her phone, glancing down to it::

Kaia Skaare (Sep 12, 2010 12:56:20 AM)
::she smiles and her fingers tap the screen rapidly, her fingernails a light sheer baby pink today, as she sends the txt::

Saxon Payne (Sep 12, 2010 12:56:52 AM)
"A cigarette." He murmurs, strolling toward Kurt with an easy gait.

Kurt Braun (Sep 12, 2010 12:59:05 AM)
"Pardon?" Kurt said shaking out of his Reverie.

Kaia Skaare (Sep 12, 2010 12:59:22 AM)
::she looks to the time and moves upstairs, heels clicking rapidly, sure that Kurt will mind the downstairs, whether he knows it or not, as she looks things over, beginning to lock up, she set the alarm upstairs::

Lukas Vangelis (Sep 12, 2010 1:00:30 AM)
*gets out of the truck and waits, leaning against the front bumper to watch through the massive windows patiently*

Saxon Payne (Sep 12, 2010 1:01:53 AM)
"You seem to be enthralled, young sir." He says genially, trying to make up for the sour mood he was getting from not smoking.

Kurt Braun (Sep 12, 2010 1:02:51 AM)
"Yeah... it's all really beautiful." He said.

Kaia Skaare (Sep 12, 2010 1:04:33 AM)
::Kaia could be seen and heard, heels clicking as she moved around the upstairs, locking the office up there, and beginning to move down stairs again::

Saxon Payne (Sep 12, 2010 1:05:15 AM)
He smiles sadly, looking around. "It only gets better with age."

Kurt Braun (Sep 12, 2010 1:06:43 AM)
"I can imagine that it does. " Kurt smiled.

Kaia Skaare (Sep 12, 2010 1:07:36 AM)
::Kaia's heels move downstairs, and she locks the front door, giving a little wave to Lukas with a smile, before moving towards the two gentlemen::

Saxon Payne (Sep 12, 2010 1:08:25 AM)
"Are you a collector?" He asks idly, his accent mirroring Kurts as he had been mirroring Kaia's when he'd first spoken with her.

Lukas Vangelis (Sep 12, 2010 1:08:56 AM)
*tips the brim of his hat to her, remains where he is*

Kurt Braun (Sep 12, 2010 1:10:14 AM)
Kurt was a little taken aback. "Uh...no..not a collector, just admiring the work. I'm a smith and I'm friends with one of the artists. figured I'd stop by and see what she's been up to in her studio."

Saxon Payne (Sep 12, 2010 1:11:47 AM)
"A smith?" His white brows lift a fraction, and he looks over the burlier man's form. "It keeps you in fine form, doesn't it?"

Kaia Skaare (Sep 12, 2010 1:12:02 AM)
::she approaches the two men confidently, heels firm against the wood flooring, and she smiles to them both:: I'm afraid the gallery is closing now. If you'll both come with me, I will escort you to the door....

Kurt Braun (Sep 12, 2010 1:13:40 AM)
"It keeps me in shape, thats for sure." He turned to Kaia and gave a little grin, "Uh sure.." he gave her a wink and was escorted to teh door.

Saxon Payne (Sep 12, 2010 1:15:08 AM)
He turns to Kaia when she speaks, reaching into his jacket to produce his cigarette case once more, smiling sadly as ever. "Most gracious of you, miss." He looks to Kurt. "Would you care to retire somewhere comfortable to speak further? I'm sure you have some very interesting insights into smithing."

Kurt Braun (Sep 12, 2010 1:18:32 AM)
" I was just gonna head home..." It was kinda obvious Kurt was feeling a little weirded out.

Kaia Skaare (Sep 12, 2010 1:19:56 AM)
::Kaia moves them both towards the door, escorting them both through the door, locking it behind her, as she clears the bottom of the gallery, then dims the lights, grabs her things and punches in the alarm::

Saxon Payne (Sep 12, 2010 1:21:22 AM)
He doesn't wait more than two steps out of the gallery before he was lighting up a clove, taking a deep draw from the sickly sweet smoke before he looks back to Kurt with that sad smile of his. "Home? A lonesome place if there ever were one."

Lukas Vangelis (Sep 12, 2010 1:21:27 AM)
*tips his hat to the pair of pretty boys, watching the dim figure of Kaia working her way through the gallery once they're out*

Lukas Vangelis (Sep 12, 2010 1:22:47 AM)
*and of course to Kurt, Lukas seems same as always. And to Saxon, he appears to be the personification of predatory violence, all behind that half-smile and a pair of black eyes*

Kurt Braun (Sep 12, 2010 1:23:22 AM)
"I dunno.. I like my place." he gave a nod to lukas.

Kaia Skaare (Sep 12, 2010 1:24:28 AM)
::Kaia's heels announce her arrival to the front door, alarm beeping behind her as she unlocks it, then closes it behind her, standing on the steps as she locks it behind her, and a shrill BEEP! is heard, before she stands on the steps, looking to everyone gathered, before smiling to Lukas:: Hey you... my night at the gallery tonight...

Lukas Vangelis (Sep 12, 2010 1:25:20 AM)
I figured. Just calling in my raincheck before it expires. *chuckles* You got your car here, or am I givin you a lift home?

Saxon Payne (Sep 12, 2010 1:25:59 AM)
He hesitates a moment, looking to Lukas as though taking the man's measure. Kurt may have caught the soft gasp of his breath, but he conceals any further concern behind a drag of the clove. He looks away from Lukas, but not fully, considering Kurtwith another sad smile. "And you wouldn't care for company to discuss a mutual interest?"

Kurt Braun (Sep 12, 2010 1:27:28 AM)
"Nope.. I'm good." There was now a look of almost abject terror to Kurt now.

Lukas Vangelis (Sep 12, 2010 1:27:34 AM)
*from the battered unlaced sneakers, to the faded green cargo shorts and a clean white tee, he is a -vision-. The similarly abused white-ish cowboy hat just tops it all off*

Kaia Skaare (Sep 12, 2010 1:28:26 AM)
My car is here, around the corner. ::she grins:: The raincheck was for choosing your lesson... not for giving it. There will be multiple lessons for this... it's not a one-lesson thing... ::Kaia smiles to him and then looks him up and down, trying not to giggle, shaking her head instead, as she nods, passing Kurt, squeezing his upper arm as she moves by:: Good night, Kurt.... rest well.

Kurt Braun (Sep 12, 2010 1:30:16 AM)
"Night Kaia." He called after her. "Well I better get home, it was nice meeting you, sir, but I gotta go. Have a nice evening." Kurt hurries off for his Harley.

Saxon Payne (Sep 12, 2010 1:30:46 AM)
"I can make it worth your while, Kurt." He lets the sickly sweet smoke escape in a slow trickle from his nostrils as he spoke, looking slightly perturbed at his sudden retreat.

Kaia Skaare (Sep 12, 2010 1:31:42 AM)
::Kaia half-turns, wondering what she missed and looks mildly surprised, as she looks to the pair and then grins, still moving towards her car, disappearing around a corner::

Kurt Braun (Sep 12, 2010 1:32:27 AM)
Kurt climbed onto his bike and slipped his Helmet on and waved back to Saxon. IHe started the Harely and revved off.

*bit of color to his cheeks as she eyes his outfit, but he snorts lightly* I know that, good lord. Just thought I had to call in my first one by the duedate. *He fights the smirk threatening his half-smile as Kurt all-but runs, ducking his head and chuckling as he gets in the truck's cab and starts it up*

Saxon Payne (Sep 12, 2010 1:33:54 AM)
He slowly crosses the lot to the Hearse, in no hurry to get anywhere, even after having scared off the poor smith.
