Linnea sighed heavily, "I work at SOTA."
Quickly she turned away from him, she hated that place and she was sure that he would also hate it but she didn't want him to feel differently towards her because she worked there.
"Sure if you want to help me out that would be great. Unfortunately I don't make a lot of money so I can't really pay you, but if you want a discount off of your rent that would work out fine by me."
"All of my work is about manalism or a manalist." she started to explain her work, she felt embarrassed when people said her work was good. She hated being forced into a certain theme, but only herself and a few other talented artists would see that in the deep meaning of the paintings she was mocking the manalists.

"I'm sorry, I was just trying to be nice. The paintings look nice, but I am sorry that you don't like...the topic. I wouldn't care much for painting it either." He replies. He feels embarassed for praising her work, which she seems to dislike. He also felt bad that she seemed so upset over working for SOTA. But, work was hard to come by. Many people were unemployed and going hungry. A job was better than none at all.
"SOTA...I can imagine that's challenging work. What do you do there? Is it hard work?"

"It's alright. It's what I have to do," she shrugged. "As far as what I do at SOTA, I'm Jumula Keitoliean's personal assistant. And it's very hard work."
She laughed at this. Many people hated him, and many liked him but few knew how he really was.
"What about you? What do you do?"

"I used to live in Florida and work for Allmart, just stocking the store at night. I also write. But, I was attacked and fled to Europe. I've been wandering around ever since. I did find a part time job street cleaning." Horacio replies. He can tell that Linnea doesn't seem to pleased to work for Keitoleinen.
"At least you have a nice home. No matter how stressful work is or how much you hate your boss, you're always safe at home!" Horacio says cheerily.

"A writer? That's cool."
Linnea's head dropped.
"I'm not safe at home," she mumbled. "Perhaps I should have told you before....and your more then welcome to leave if you want. But... Keitoleinen harasses me constantly, even at home. And not just the stalking, he'll force his way in and do what he pleases."
She waited for Horacio to say that he was leaving, that he wouldn't deal with her personal problems.

"Oh don't worry. This will work out fine. If he stops by and gives you trouble, well, I've seen him on TV. He doesn't look very big or strong. I think I could teach him a lesson." Horacio says nodding.
"There's nothing to worry about. Anyway, maybe he will stop coming by if he sees there's some ugly guy like me living here as well." He suggests.

"Just because I'm sending her flowers...well, that doesn't mean anything at all." Keitoleinen replies with a laugh. He hops up onto the counter now and dangles his legs off of it merrily.
"Alright, her address is..." He states and goes on to give her address in Helsinki. He knows that Linnea will be completely thrilled to have the flowers. He can't wait to find out about her reaction.
"Are you shy around men, or it is only me?" He asks, pushing Ophelia further. He is having a wonderful time. He hasn't had this much fun since the banquet of the Blessed.

"No, you may be mistaken. But I apologize in advance for any trouble," she thought about how embarrassed she would be if Keito came and harassed her in his usual style. Maybe renting the room was a mistake.

"Hmm...well, don't worry about it. We all have troubles. I could ...bring something bad here as well. Something worse than your boss. I ..should tell you this, since it could cause trouble for you, but I think I am wanted by the Invisible Hand." Horacio admits. He should have mentioned it right away, but didn't want to be refused a place to live. Anyway, he hasn't had any troubles with anyone for quite a while.
"I don't want it to worry you. I haven't seen anyone for a few months now. I think I am safe."

The Invisible Hand, she wasn't sure anymore if that's who arrested her many months ago. It was a memory she buried deep, she didn't ever want to think of that horrific experience ever again.
"Well then, I guess your right. We both have very serious problems," she couldn't help but laugh at this. "So I guess we are even, no worries."
She showed him around the rest of the gallery and hearing his secret made him feel better.

"Thanks for showing me around the gallery and being so nice. It's a nice day out there. Do you feel like going for a walk?" Horacio asks. He figures that it might make Linnea feel less tense to be outside. Anyway, he feels like being outside in the fresh air.

"You're such a darling." a middle age brunette says to Yasmin,
"Thank you, ma'm." Yasmin reply with her fake cute smile.
Yasmin is currently in Finland. Her main reason why she's in Finland because she wasn't given any new missions yet and she is REALLY BORED. Anyway, she continue to talk to the woman for a few minutes. Before Yasmin could say her goodbyes, the woman offer her to give her dinner.
"Really?" Yasmin ask with her fake smile again.
"Sure, dear." the woman reply before leading Yasmin to her house.
Once they are finally at the woman's house and woman closed the door behind them, Yasmin attack the woman and drank her blood. As Yasmin wipe her mouth with her sleeve, she look at the woman's lifeless body.
"Maybe I should slit her wrist and neck and make the crime scene look like a suicide." Yasmin mutter to herself.
Yasmin took out one of her many switchblades out of her bag with gloves. She slit the woman's throat and wrists before putting on the woman's right hand. She then quickly left the house through the back door. Yasmin ran a couple of blocks before she stop at front of the local grocery store.
"They better not find out...." Yasmin says to herself. She's referring to the Invisible Hand.
She let out a shrug before walking down the quiet street.

"Sure," Linnea nodded and they exited the gallery. Normally Linnea is a very shy person and doesn't socialize much so she doesn't know what to say at this point.

Blood warmed Ophelia's cheeks and she lowered her head a little, "Shy?.. Uh.."
Was she acting shy? She'd never thought of herself that way.. She felt a little flushed and jittery right now though.
"No. I'm not. I'm just. just.. Would you please not sit on my counters?" Ophelia digressed for a moment as she hurriedly tried to muster an answer, "- I'm NOT shy towards any man. I'm just....Cautious! Yes! There's not that many single men that walk in here. It's a flower shop for heaven's sake, one of the only reasons why any men come in here is to get their lady a bouquet! I do not want to instigate an affair with a man who's already taken."
She looked at him with a a glow of pride on her face, as if she'd come up with the most cleverest true explanation in the world.
"Besides, I have two really important ceremonies to get flowers to within 2 weeks and have no time for any romantic endeavors. Don't you have work too, Mr.Keito?"

(Anyone who wants to post with us, feel free to join in)
Horacio and Linnea head out then for a stroll. It is actually darker than Horacio remembered and the weather has turned cooler. Maybe he spent longer than he thought looking at the gallery or talking with Linnea. There is something foreboding now about the weather. Horacio sighs, he feels like something bad could happen. Though, he doesn't believe in omens.
"Have you ever...had any trouble with the Manalists?" He asks Linnea cautiously as they walk.
