Drake looked to Vanessa. "Nessie, come on i know all about that, im not dense" he said. "i was just making a joke to rile Lesley up is all.  i know what art is, and how Nudity in it is expressed" and he did of course, he could be pretty smart when he wanted to be.  he just now, rarely chose to be.

Ralphie nodded, when Lesley explained what or how it would be, as did Xaven, before Xaven nodded. "i got nothing to hide, im like clay, she'll be working me til im as she is" he said, smiling to Vanessa, seeing her blushing and wanting to change the subject now.  

Once upstairs, they all stood there, Xaven taking her hand and squeezing it back as he moved up beside her as she let his hand go and began opening doors.. when they moved in, Xaven made sure none of the upstairs rooms were touched.  him, Ralph and Drake stayed downstairs.  so when she said they were all sleeping upstairs now and the downstairs room were going to be for her work, well no one argued about it.  Xaven stood there, and at her question Ralph and Drake turned to look at him. "if it is a problem, your a fool" Drake said. Xaven rolled his eyes at Drake. "sharing a room is fine with me" he moved closer to her, feeling her nerves? something he knew was wrong.  and when she gave Lesley her old room, Drake the Guest one and then Ralphie Mia's Drake, Ralph and Xaven bowed their heads slightly, sending a silent Prayer.

Xaven turned. "Nessie?" he felt her pain, her sadness slamming into her as Drake stood there. "whats.." Ralph sprinted down the hall to the hall bathroom and began getting a wet cloth.  Xaven nodded, listening to Lesley as he sat down beside her, watching her with worried eyes, and a worried wolf was an on edge wolf.  Drake nodded. "you got it" and he simply lept over the side of the rail, dropping right over and down to the first level where he hit and sprinted into the kitchen, coming back up in track record time. "here" he said, opening the bottle of cold water, right from the fridge.
