⋙I look in the mirror⋘ {I try to understand} {And piece it together} ⋙And wash the blood from both my hands⋘ ✽ ❀❁ Kei ❁ ❀✽ he looked up from his computer when the other entered the office. When he spoke Kei tilted his head just a bit, was it odd that he lived here? "I don't have much need for flaunting what I have, I prefer my privacy so it would be a waste. And I don't much like technology, I only keep the basics needed to run my business and household." He sat thinking a bit more on it, since he was pretending to be a human for all of his business partners should he buy some newer things as humans would? Then again no one had questioned him about it so maybe it wasnt necesary.
At the other questioned he looked back to the young male and gave a slight nod. "I started out with jewelry, then after that a modeling agency. Those are the two businesses I own myself. But I have a hand in a few others like computers, interior designs, maybe a few others. But those I'm merely a source of money for improvements, so I don't fiddle with them often." He had started small, and if h we do been a human he wouldn't have accomplished as much as he had, but living for centuries-and passing himself off as an heir every few decades or so to new partners- he had grown maybe small shops into corporate companies.

"I can see that. Privacy is always nice." He could see now that the man preferred to do business in the home than going there. It was good to have the technology to be able to do that. "So you owned a jewelry company....then modeling.....with some influence in computers, interior designs, etc. Wow, you're pretty adaptable." He then could only sit there as he had to examine the boss, he did see he had a bit of young look to him....with a voice that had seen all...maybe. "How old are you?" He had to ask that since he didn't know. "And also is there anything important you want me to do?" Jaylan had to ask since he felt weird if he just laid around and did nothing. "Well....do you mind giving me a tour of the place? Just so I know what I am expected to clean....maybe?"

⋙I look in the mirror⋘ {I try to understand} {And piece it together} ⋙And wash the blood from both my hands⋘ ✽ ❀❁ Kei ❁ ❀✽ while the other talked to him he skimmed more email subjects, many were things he could ignore. Mugh of his work these days was merely approving new ventures or hosting or attending an event. When asked how old he was he paused and glanced up to the other before a dim smirk twitched at his lips. "Older than you would think." He answered, he highly doubted the other would even belive him if he said he was already some centuries old.
When the other continued he chuckled softly, pushing himself up and stretching. "I suppose I should show you around." He walked out into the hall and waited for the other to follow before continuing down. "My bedroom and the main bathroom are in this hall. As well as empty bedrooms that used to house servants and the like." He then pointed down another hallway when they came to a fork. "That way it the kitchen and dining room." He then walked in the opposite down a short hallway before ascending some stairs.
Once at the top there was another short hallway. "The rooms on the sides are mostly storage, though if you want to clean one out to use feel free." He kept walking past those doors until finally he got to the door at the end of the hall. He opened it and before them was a large room, to the sides were some cushioned chairs sectioned out around low tables. The middle of the room was empty. Above them was a chandelier. It wasn't fancied decorated, just some book shelves lined the walls in between windows.
"This is one of the few rooms that gets regular cleaning, I use it to entertain guests, mostly for work purposes." He walked out into the middle of the room and glanced around quickly, it seemed pretty well maintained and he doubted he would need it tonight regardless for only one guest. "There's also a smaller sitting room in the basement, though I don't tend to use that often either. Most of the cleaning will be in preparation for parties, or if we are short handed. But for today I will have you help with my work, it's a pain to sort through all my mail so you can do that when ever you would like." He walked back towards the door they had entered through, stiffling a yawn.

"Older? Can I guess?" Jaylan had to stare long and hard at the 'boss', examing him and his attire. He then thumbed a closed fist against an open hand. "Thirty-five!" He exclaimed a bit as it HAD to be the right guess.
Despite that, he was able to get a tour around the home. Seeing the bedroom, main bathroom, the empty bedrooms which did not include what Jaylan took, storage, and a room where guests are entertained. So that was what got regular cleaning...that was mentally carved into Jaylan's mind Then there was a sitting room in a basement. But for now, it seemed like he needed help sorting out the mail. "Alright, let me know where the mail is." He suggested as he went to where the mail was, seeing the huge pile. He sat down and looked through the mail. "Let me know how you want them organized. And then afterward, I'll cook dinner. Let me know what you prefer."

⋙I look in the mirror⋘ {I try to understand} {And piece it together} ⋙And wash the blood from both my hands⋘ ✽ ❀❁ Kei ❁ ❀✽ He had nearly laughed when the other guessed his age. He didn't hint at whether it was right or not, since there was no way to explain that he was so much older than that without the question of his humanity being exposed. But once the tour was finished he showed the other the large pile of mail in his office that sat on a small end table about ready to topple off. He sat back at his desk and began looking through some sales documents he'd been sent. When asked about how to organize them he had to think for a few moments. "I guess by sender." He rattled off a list of companies that he was working with. "Anything else can go in the trash, I don't much care for business of a personal nature, only the professional." He then clicked to another screen and felt himself becoming annoyed with all the junk he was expected to sift through when he was paying others to do just that.
But the other mentioned food he shrugged a bit. "I don't generally eat much, so you can make what you like. The cook will be here as well to make dinner for our guest this evening if you would rather that as well. He tends to make more extravegant things though, which isn't much to my liking." Though his eyes were focused on the screen he was adept at multi tasking as was half way through this form even as he was speaking with the other.

When Jaylan was told it was to be organized by sender, he nodded as he went through the mail and had organized it to be alphabetical at first, and then once that was done, he organized it by sender. It took him a good hour before he was able to get it done. He did remember a pile of mail that did not belong to the companies he wanted so he tossed it in the trash. So with that he was done and had remembered that the boss didn't like fancy things. "Is there anything you're in the mood for? I can make Italian and Chinese food." He was not good at Japanese food, but he was willing to try to learn it if he wanted to. He did casually slid the organized mail to him as he then rolled his shoulders. "You're not into fancy food eh? Even though you probably make a lot of money...were you not born rich?"

He finally finished looking through all his emails, getting down to only a dozen or so unread, the rest were replied to or deleted. He leaned back, maybe he'd have the other help with emails to in a few days if they got too out of hand. Really he needed a secretary to handle this nonsense. When the other spoke about food he mulled it over a moment, stretching his arms before tucking them behind his head. He watched the other roll his shoulders, and wondered if sorting the mail was at taxing as answering it. "How about pasta then? With that red sauce?" He couldn't remember what they actually called it, or what the sauce was made of, though he guessed it was tomato. He'd heard it was easy to make even though he never cooked himself.
When he was asked if he was born rich he paused. He couldn't exactly say he was born a normal wild fox right? Or that he was raised by some village girl back when people traded goods and hardly had a concept of money. He stayed silent a long time before finally shrugging. "I was born without anything, not even a name. Everything I have now is from luck and wit. But I don't really care about money, I just wanted to stay busy. I ended up rich as a result." He pushed his chair away from the desk before putting his sock clad feet on it, crossing one leg over the other and leaning heavily back in his chair. "But it's gotten boring these past few years..." He spoke almost wistfully, closing his eyes to rest them. He needed to sleep more but had gotten in the bad habit of only napping here and there. Perhaps tonight he'd try and sleep.

"....you mean marinara?" He raised a brow at the boss. "Even most people would call it tomato sauce." He snickered as he found that to be strange. He did take note that the man in front of him was from the bottom and it had taken him some luck and with to get to where he was at. And surprisingly, it didn't matter how much money he made, he just wanted to be busy. He did see the man was bored recently...and it has gotten him to close his eyes. "Never thought of attending events or going to attractions like a museum or....?" Jaylan suggested slightly as he then nodded. "Coming up. I'll let you know when dinner is done." He then went to the kitchen, knowing he will need to make something quickly.
Going to the kitchen, he got a big pot and filled it with water and salt. He had it on the stove and while that was heating up he got a medium-sized skillet and had it on next to the pot as he poured oil on it. As both were heating up, he got all the ingredients out so he could be prepared. So while it was heated, he got the pounded meat and had formed the meat into little balls, making them like mini meatballs as it will be better than just some weird scattered meat. Once the oil was sizzling, he poured the mini-meatballs and pepper flakes until the meatballs were brown. And when the water boiled, he poured the bow tie pasta and stirred it occasionally while he was keeping watch on the mini-meatballs.
Once the meatballs turned evenly brown, he had stirred in onion and garlic until the onion was tender. Then the cut-up tomatoes, cream, and a little more salt came in, stirring those ingredients together to make the sauce. While he did that he went through the cabinets and there was corn starch. He had no idea why but he brought it in as it will help thicken the sauce. So with the sauce thickening, he drained the pasta in the sink through the colander so the pasta would get rid of the water. Once the sauce had thickened, he got out individual bowls, as he put the pasta on it and then poured some sauce on top of it. He did a taste-test of that first bowl which will be his. He smiled. "Just like the old days...." He then put that bowl to the side as he got out more bowls and tried to find the table, putting them in each chair, setting up with napkins with forks and knives (it's just for politeness), as he got out cups and got out all the drinks they have in the kitchen. It felt like old home when he helped out his friends and mom for dinner. He then went to where the boss is. "I finished dinner, do you want anything to drink?"

When the other snickered he opened one eye to look at him before closing it with a small smirk. Did the boy think it was funny that he didn't know the name of it? He didn't much mind, he wasn't a prideful creature normally, and it wasn't like he had any intention of remembering the name of everything he ate. At the comment about doing something more interesting he shrugged. "I don't like large groups of people," He stopped himself from saying he just didn't like most people anyways. "so I'd rather stay here. But obviously there comes a limit to entertainment alone in one's home."
He then waited patiently as the other cooked, deciding to take a quick nap while he waited. He had finished his work for today mostly, or at least what had to be finished. Now it was just waiting for their guest to arrive, then trying to get him out of the house as quickly as possible. With the thoughts in his head the only thing that got rest during his nap was his eyes, ando so when he awoke to the others voice he still felt tired.
He went with the other to the dining room and nearly chuckled at the set up. He hadnty expected the other to fully set the table, and the smell from the food was plesant. "You put more effort into things than normal people don't you?" He sat at one of the settings, feeling odd since he almost never ate outside of his office. "I can get my own drink later." He was fully planning on having alcohol later tonight, it was part of his daily ritual almost. He began eating and was surprised that he actually found it tasty, it wasn't that he was a picky eater, but he found it better than other similar things he'd eaten. "We're you often the cook at your previous employers?"

Jaylan had sat beside him as he got himself a plate and poured himself some water as he ate his fill. He could see his boss was surprised that he had put some effort. "I try to." he snickered when the question was asked. "You have to do more than average in order to succeed." He did see that he had enjoyed the food which Jaylan was glad to see. When he was asked if he was a cook for the previous employer, that got the blonde boy to sigh and look away. "No....not really. My Mom and I were responsible for the cleaning. I did often watch food network as a kid since it always interested me. My Mom did teach me a few recipes before she...passed....she didn't expect my life to be always as an indentured servant." He then got himself another filling and stared at his boss. "Want another filling?" he asked, and whether the boss wanted more or not, Jaylan would eat his second fill. "So you don't go out often huh? You're missing out on a lot of things. It might be weird, but being homeless, I started to appreciate the outdoors and all the stuff that goes on in town."
He then nodded. "I like to cook anything I can get my hands on. Let me know what you feel like and I'll get right to work." He had a small smile on. "Even Japanese food. I would like to say I am a quick learner." He then stood up and took his dish to the sink as he washes the dirty dish down.

He gave the other a small smirk when he spoke, of course he'd be an over achiever, he should have guessed that in the first place from the others upbeat attitutde. Though when the male spoke about his mother he noted a bit of... was it sadness? That would be a logical assumption he guessed as he continued eating. He didn't really understand such things, though he often had to act as though he did in front of others, but if he had ever even been able to feel such emotions he had long since forgotten. Time eroded many things, and emotions were some of the first to go it seemed. They became dull, sadness to loss and loss to a dim remeberance.
When asked for another serving he declined, he had never really eaten much, though perhaps that wasn't really a good thing. When the other spoke about the outside world Kai just leaned back in his seat a moment. "I have spent time trying to enjoy such things, but I find them dull and... colorless I suppose." He mulled it over a moment and decided that was the easiest way to describe his world. Things were black and white to him. Most people and such were black shadowy things on the edge of his vision. But things like this boy that sparked his interest stood out as white pin pricks of light, but nothing was truly vibrant or colorful to him.
At the others enthusiasm he stood at stretched, his shoulders stiff and back aching, he sat at a desk too long these days. "You are free to use the kitchen as you want, and the chef would probably teach you a bit if you offered to help him prepare meals. I don't have much interest but would be willing to eat your cooking again." He finished stretching and looked to the other with cool eyes. Maybe he just found this male interesting because he seemed to view the world so very different from himself.

Jaylan could see the man went back to his desk as he had a sigh, this man seemed to be a little dull. "Don't you....get bored staying inside all day?" He had to ask as he then wondered. "Also, I like to paint as a hobby...is there any spot here that can serve well as a studio? I don't mind painting outside if I have to." He then had his hands on the desk that the boss was sitting on. "And yeah, if the chef needs help...I'll be willing to help out." He then had to think about how much time he had for breaks so he could go to art galleries and such. Possibly even get to go out to eat. "Don't you get like...antsy staying at one place for a long time?" He was not going anywhere until he answered the questions Jaylan had brought to him.

At the others question he shrugged a bit. "Not particularly, plus going out alone draws attention." He didn't like being talked to by strangers, and even less so by people that he knew and therefore had to be polite too. "Any empty room you can use, if there's storage feel free to move it somewhere, a lot isn't even mine but was left here by people who visited and such." He scanned the other up and down for a moment after he spoke again. "I find my own estate quiet enough of the outside for me, though we may have to go and get you some nicer clothes, cant very well show you to others like that, and I plan to have your duties include accompanying me on mandatory outings." Mandatory for Kei that was, at least if he showed up with someone he could avoid all the chatting from woman that he usually received.

Jaylan tipped his head as he heard that he might need to have a change of clothes. "Really....we can do that?" He was a little surprised that his Boss was thinking of that. So he nodded with the empty room can be his. "Ok, thanks. I will set up then." He smiled as he then bowed. "I will retire for the night then. Goodnight." Jaylan left soon after to go find an empty room where his stuff would go.
He did have to set up an empty space where he could paint. So with that, he had a bunch of old, stained curtains pinned to walls and laid on the floor so that the easel and canvas, along with the paint set would go that would not stain the room. He had done it for awhile before he laid on the futon and had passed out, talking in his sleep and mumbling. It was going to be a long day tomorrow as it will be the start of a new life as a live-in worker.
