Damen doesn't spend much time in his bedroom, but it is completely decorated in his own taste. He even made a playful reference to the elven home he was so accustomed to.
Office:
Damen spends quite some time here over the days. This room has a bed for if he gets visitors, but first of all it is his working space, with a playful tint. Though he takes a break from engineering at the moment, he still is in contact with his company a lot. There is a tv and a radio but if Damen uses any of them at all, it is the radio while he works.
Bathroom:
The bathroom is simple, but kept well clean and stocked. It is outfitted with both a bath and a shower. The windows are almost always open between baths to keep a fresh and circulated environment.
Living Room:
When he has free time in the evening and he doesn't feel like going outside, Damen watches television in his living room. Despite it being fully outfitted with several Extra channels, he still likes to take an evening walk outside.
Kitchen:
Not the most luxurious kitchen, he admits. But it can hold his stocks and if he does cook here he has enough room to do so. Damen typically prefers to eat out though.

OOC:
--:::------::------------------->⛥<--------------------::------:::--- Where: At Home With: No one Status: Healthy, answering a few e-mails Wealth: $2,000 --:::------::------------------->⛥<--------------------::------:::--- Today was the first day of his prolonged sub-vacation. He called it a sub himself because, despite being quite far from the company and not actively working on a project, he still was available by mobile phone as well as e-mail. And he could still be contacted if his executives wanted to know if he agreed with their idea or not. A total stop wouldn't even be thinkable for the shadow demon. He would go mad if he would exclude himself of all the going on's at his company. Not for the slight worry about the ideas themselves, he had chosen the men and women for their talent after all, but because he was still responsible for them. They worked for his vision after all. It was his priority that his employees were happy and secure.
As he thought about all that, he suddenly realized he was already there and even almost walked passed his new home. Doubling back a little, Damen turned and looked at the building. Even though it wasn't the first time he saw it or the street, he was still surprised in a good way with where he ended up. The area looked simply wonderful. It was shared with others, but that didn't bother the young man at all. In fact he welcomed the idea of neighbors around the corner of his home so to say. He was pretty sociable and ready to make new friends at all times. "Right, time to get inside and see if everything is all set. My new home and a welcome break from to much hustle and bustle." he said to himself and smiled as he walked to the building entrance, after making a turn and step around to avoid a few children running about. Damen chuckled as he watched them run off. They didn't turn to apologize but it didn't matter. Children would be children. He was glad they could play around like this.
It wasn't long after that Damen turned the lock to his apartment and opened the door. The moment he stepped inside, the young man took off his shoes and he was welcomed by the view on his living room and it actually felt like coming home already. Before he did anything else however, he walked on to his bedroom and placed his last remaining bag against his bed. All his other stuff was already moved here by him prior. Deciding to unpack the bag later and put the remaining clothing in his closet, he walked back out of his room and went into the kitchen to grab a glass of fruit juice and with it in hand he made way to his working room. Damen knew that he had a few e-mails waiting for him from his employees and he wanted to take care of those before he would go and explore beyond this street. Placing the glass on the desk, at a safe distance from his computer in case of any accidents, he sat down on the chair in front of it and started up the system to go to his e-mail.

Outfit:Shirt, Pants, Shoes Wealth: $1,993 --:::------::------------------->⛥<--------------------::------:::--- It had been a nice first day at this new home. At least in Damen's opinion. That fate would lead him to someone that could benefit from his experience was something he had not expected. But he wasn't bothered by it at all. In fact he was happy he could be of help to someone. They were so young too. At Mark's age, Damen was still attending school. The demon had spend a few hours at the young man's house and they were able to discuss a few things and he had been able to give some tips, but the day ended all to swiftly. Not that he had expected them to be able to attend everything in one sitting. That would have been to much to process at any rate.
Once he had gotten home, Damen had gone to bed pretty quickly. He had been tired from the day's events and his travel to Soleil. When came daybreak, the rising sun was shining into his room and into his face, waking up the man asleep in the bed. Damen opened his eyes but immediately squinted when the sunlight hit them and he realized he had forgotten to draw his curtains. It wasn't really a problem since no one could be looking in, but it sure woke him earlier than Damen initially planned to. With a sigh, the demon allowed himself to fall back on his bed as he rubbed one of his eyes. But it didn't take long for him to take off the blanket and sit up. It was to warm in the sun through his window.
Damen stiffed a yawn and got up from his bed before he walked straight to the bathroom and turned on the water before he stripped from his boxers and stepped under the water once he had tuned it to a rather cool temperature. He took just enough time to wash himself and his hair before he turned off the shower and dried himself and got back to his room to get dressed. Learned from his experience yesterday, he picked out some jeans and a white shirt this time. Pretty much his only casual clothes. It would seem some shopping would be in order nonetheless now he lived here in Soleil. Damen had not expected it to be this warm around this time. But he didn't like it less for it. In fact he actually enjoyed the weather, he just needed to get adjusted to it with his wardrobe. Once he had gotten dressed, he went back to the bathroom to finish getting ready and then put on a pair of half socks and got to the kitchen.
The demon knew he had all the time this day and he enjoyed it as he made himself some coffee to start the day of. While the coffee machine was running, Damen made himself some food and then took his breakfast out into the living room, sitting down on the couch and he looked through his mobile to see if anyone had contacted him despite his stepping back. For a mercy it would seem they had not and the man sighed in relief and smiled a bit. Then he opened up his messages and thought for a moment. Mark and him had covered quite a lot yesterday, perhaps he should check up and see how the other was feeling. Damen hoped they weren't to overloaded with information. It didn't take long for the demon to start typing.
Good morning Mark. I hope you do not mind me contacting so soon. How are you feeling? I hope I didn't give to much information at once. If there is anything you have questions about, do not hesitate to contact me..
He signed it with - Damen, though he didn't think that was really necessary and calmly started to partake in his breakfast. Mark would read the message whenever he woke up probably. He was used to always having to rush things. It was pretty nice to take his time for a change. If this free time persisted he would go into the shops later today to buy some clothes that suited the weather better. Damen could hardly keep wearing his often more layered outfits in this weather.

Outfit:Shirt, Pants, Shoes Wallet: $1,803 --:::------::------------------->⛥<--------------------::------:::--- A look of slight surprise came over his features when Mark told him to take the lead, but it didn't linger long and soon he smiled and left the shop with Mark. It was a good thought to be able to bring the clothes to his house. Since it meant he would have his hands free for anything else they might be doing before the time for dinner arrived. Damen had already realized that this island had a lot to offer to explore and enjoy your time with. Perhaps they couldn't even visit everything in one day. Not that the demon minded that. He would happily go hang out with Mark more. As they arrived on the streets, it took the man a short moment to orientate and find the direction the park was in and how they had left the park compared to how he arrived earlier this morning.
Using that knowledge it didn't take long for Damen to stroll along the streets to lead his friend to his home. He just hoped that the young man wouldn't feel intimidated once he was there. Though it didn't matter much to Damen, he knew well that he had quite a large home. Yet Mark would be just as welcome as ever to come by whenever he wished. As they walked, the man looked over at his companion as they spoke again, carrying his bags behind his bag for the moment. It would seem that Mark was just as well with hanging out, but seemed to struggle with something. It started to dawn to the demon they might feel like Damen was just putting up with them for some reason. This wasn't right however. He was hanging out with Mark because he wanted to.
Though Damen struggled to find a way how to communicate that to his new friend, without straight forward saying it and perhaps cause him some embarrassment. Damen couldn't help but chuckle a bit and shake his head before combing some strands of his hair out of his face. The weather sure wasn't friendly to that either. "We will have plenty of time before it is time to eat dinner, but perhaps a little lunch would be in order at least. I would suggest eating and drinking something at my house, since we are going there already, then considering time and distance and if we have time for that, why not do both? Visit the Museum first and then go watch a movie for example. Perhaps then dinnertime will have arrived." he offered Mark.
As he said that they arrived at the Doux Housing District and after looking around at landmarks he had memorized so far, Damen walked into the street that led to his home. One of the upper houses in the complexes. He smiled gently as he saw children were already out to play. It would seem they got plenty of fresh air here, unlike the cities he had been to and lived in. Once they got to the door to his house, the demon took his keys from his back pocket and opened the door before walking in a bit and turn to Mark as he invited him inside. "Here we are. Feel free to make yourself at home, my friend." he said and once Mark was inside he would close his door before considering what to do. Since they had enough time, he decided to walk to his bedroom to bring the clothes there. "I will put the new clothes in the closet. You are welcome to come with me, or to just look around the house yourself, which you prefer." Damen said with a smile as he took off his shoes by pure habit before wandering further in.

Mark felt rather relived when Damen took the lead and lead him in the direction of his house. The younger man figured it might at least be best if the other man found his way home himself instead of just Mark pointing out where to go. Yeah, that's what he'd go with. As they walked Mark would spare a glance at Damen every now and then as he subconsciously wondered if the other man was in fact enjoying himself. He seemed to be happy enough but maybe he'd change his mind once they arrived at his house and end their meeting there, the nineteen year old wouldn't blame him if he were being honest about it. However Damen seemed to have a knack for disproving Mark's anxiety as he seemed to really take to the idea that Mark had suggested which made him breath a quiet sigh of relief. He would then be taken by surprise though when Damen suggested they eat lunch at his house which caused Mark to blink a bit in surprise. Lunch at Damen's? Did...did he really actually enjoy Mark's company? It was the only explanation, if he actually was just tolerating the younger man then he'd go out of his way to shorten the time they spent together as much as possible. But the fact that he invited Mark without it even being brought up made smile a bit more brightly than usual before nodding his head"Y..yeah! That sounds like...a great plan!"so Damen wasn't just forcing himself to deal with Mark, the thought of it made him feel all warm inside. It was nice, was this what a growing friendship felt like? He liked the feeling and he wanted it to continue. So Museum and a movie? It sounded like the perfect day to spend in his opinion and then to top it off with dinner at one of his favorite restaurants? It was like Karma finally had his back for once in his life and he hoped that it would only continue from there. Of course as the two of them continued on Mark began to note more and more at how much nicer and bigger all these houses were compared to his own. Without a doubt they were much more impressive than anything Mark could ever afford on his own, even if he got a job. Finally once they arrived Mark would feel a little bit out place as he awkwardly shuffled at the doorway of Damen's home before entering into the building behind Damen. He then listened to the other man and nodded his head a little bit but paused for a moment as he saw the other man take off his shoes so just to not be rude he would follow suit, slipping out of his sneakers and stood there for a moment as Damen walked off. What should he do now? He knew the other man was fine with him wandering but he wasn't sure if he should or shouldn't. But in the end Mark would take the other man's offer and wandered, taking in how nice everything in the house was compared to his own. Eventually he ended up at the other man's bedroom as before pausing for a moment as he stepped in, taking in everything before him"You're house...is uh...really nice..."

Outfit:Shirt, Pants, Shoes Wallet: $1,803 --:::------::------------------->⛥<--------------------::------:::--- When Mark followed suit with his own shoes, Damen was glad to see so. Not because he was super tight about his house or anything, but often it also helped to feel more comfortable as well. Once it became clear Mark chose to wander and look around, Damen walked to his bedroom with his bags. It wouldn't take long putting it all away, so he might as well finish up. At passing the kitchen, Damen walked in real quick and took the scissors from a drawer before continuing to his bedroom. There he emptied the bags on his bed and started to clip away the price tags that were still on the clothes. While looking for said tags, he also looked over the articles to ensure they were clean, since they did just come out of a shop.
In the end he decided to just wash them all first considering people would also have fitted them and he brought them to the bathroom where he had his washing machine as well. The demon didn't have much laundry yet so he just put it all in there with the new clothes, added a special cloth to protect colors, set the program before turning it on and walking back to his bedroom. Once back he folded the plastic bags that were on his bed and placed them on his nightstand for now which was about when Mark came walking to his bedroom as well. "Thank you, Mark." Damen said with a smile. "To be fair I wasn't sure how others would pick up on my style here. I am glad you like it. I grew up in a forest before I ended up visiting and even living in the city once I started the company. So this time I decided to bring the forest with me. Though this island is pretty amazing and plenty of nature." Damen admitted and praised Soleil in one.
"So how about that lunch? What would you like? We can look in the kitchen. Just let me know what you want to eat. You can even make it yourself if there is a way you prefer it. Drinks are in the fridge, though I mainly have fruit juices." Damen offered and rubbed his neck as he smiled. The man hadn't expected to be home with Mark so all he could offer drink wise was one of his favorite fruit juices. He wasn't precious about his kitchen though. If there was something Mark wanted to make himself, he was completely free to do so.

Mark wasn't so sure he really should have wandered the house as much as he did but he simply couldn't help it as he did have permission but still it felt intrusive. He really should have just sat down in the living room and relaxed a little bit, the couch did look rather comfortable. But yet he didn't and to say the least there was nothing that wasn't impressive to him in any way. The bathroom was gorgeous while Mark's own was a bit old and he didn't even own a shower curtain while Damen had both a bath and a nice shower. On top of that Mark's bedroom was so under furnished and plain looking, his kitchen was empty and sparse, comparing the two houses he felt so...out of his element. He felt like he didn't belong in such a nice environment. Once Mark entered the others bedroom he was glad that the other man seemed unbothered by his entrance as he began to speak about his home and his young life. Mark gave his full attention as he let out a small noise of surprise"Y..you were grew up in a..a forest?...That sounds amazing..."a small smile grew on his face"Away from..all the people...peace and quiet...it must have been nice..."if Mark had his way he'd loved to have moved out into a forest and just live the rest of his life alone. But then he knew that wasn't how the world worked, most people of any race human or not had obligations to where they couldn't just pack up and leave. Mark was no different. Still though it was nice to daydream about from time to time. He would then nod his head and smiled a little bit more as he thought about the Island"Y..you're right...it's...um...it is a really beautiful place....that's why i chose this place to live.."if his parents were given the choice he'd be trapped next door to them still under their thumb and forced to answer to them. He'd long since started ignoring their calls and it wouldn't be until his therapist forced him to call them that he'd speak to them But even then he always kept it short and to the point, he wanted as little to do with them as possible. Once lunch was brought up Mark blinked a little bit and shrugged his shoulders a little bit as he glanced down to the ground"I...I don't know...I uh...I'm really fine with anything...really..."however he would pause for a moment as a thought crossed his mind as Mark began to absentmindedly tug on the sleeves of his jacked down once more"Um..well...why..don't we...uh...you know....work together on lunch? I'll think of...something to make..a..and...you make another thing...t..then we..combine them?"he suggested sheepishly, hoping he didn't sound too silly for suggesting such a thing.

Outfit:Shirt, Pants, Shoes Wallet: $1,803 --:::------::------------------->⛥<--------------------::------:::--- Damen chuckled a bit when they seemed so surprised he grew up in a forest. For him it was the normal thing. But then he had very little memories of Iral and many more of the marble streets of Saela and the meadow and lake plus waterfall from the woods of Odoraen. "Yes, a city in the forest really. Though the majority there were elves, so I kind of stood out. But I always liked to wander off into the forest itself on free days and swim in the lake by the meadow." he reminiscent some of his earlier years. The marble streets and pavements of Saela were a real sight to see and often the sunlight filtering through the canopy would color the city a light playful green. It didn't take long for him to get back to here and now though and he listened to Mark as he spoke.
"I can see why you would choose this place. I, too, chose it for the tropical look and the amazing ocean. I guess I should have known the weather would be this warm." he admitted at hindsight. But then lunch came up and Damen wasn't really sure what to do. Usually he would just make something for himself, so he wasn't used to making it for others as well. But when he heard Mark's proposal he smiled and nodded. "That actually sounds like a great idea! Our cultures are somewhat alike, so they will definitely work well together." he agreed and started to walk to his kitchen. He didn't need long to explain where everything was to Mark and after that he thought to himself real quick what he could make for a nice lunch that would shine through the Japanese culture.
The demon decided to make some Spicy Udon Noodles. He had made fresh noodles just the day before, before he moved to Soleil permanently. Damen took the noodles from the fridge and started to work on the dish. The walking and exploring had made him a little hungry, so he added several fresh vegetables and some Bell Peppers mixing it all together with a sauce he made with a bit of fresh Wasabi. Of course not to much as that could get to spicy for even the weathered experienced. Even if the sharpness wore off once you swallowed your bite. This all only took him 15 minutes to make, which was why he was fond of noodle recipes for lunch. He would still talk with Mark in between though and once he was done he placed the food on the table and leaned back against the counter. Normally he would offer to help, but this time they had decided to make their own things and then combine so he respectfully waited until Mark was done as well so they could place the food together.

Mark listened to Damen elaborate that it was a city in a forest that he lived in and Mark gave a small 'Oh' in understanding. The young man was intrigued to say the least, he remembered when he was younger there was an elf who was a close family friend. He'd stop by and tell Mark stories about his youth when he was in the neighborhood and had to see his folks for something. He remembered how he told about a city surrounded by trees that he'd come from, Mark couldn't help but wonder if that was where he was from? Still though Mark smiled just a little bit"It..still sounds..r..really nice..."even if it were a city in the forest he was sure that it must have still been am amazing place to live in nonetheless. And if Damen telling about how he'd wander and go swimming on his off days were anything to talk about then it certainly spoke about how nice the place was. Mark nodded his head just at little bit at his companion when he mentioned how nice it was but couldn't help but actually let out a small chuckle"I remember...when I first moved here I um...I could barely...step out of my house....I uh...I thought it was so hot..."he smiled just a little bit before he would step aside and out of the way for his new friend after he'd made his suggestion. Mark was at least a little bit proud of himself for making a smart suggestion for once in his life. However Mark quickly noted that Damen wanted something of his Korean heritage and the young man didn't know too many dishes. Usually he stuck with his American roots when cooking since he had a hard enough time as it was with cooking. But he did know one easy dish but the problem was, did Damen have what he needed? He would open open the refrigerator as if a gift from the heavens there sat a chunk of sirloin steak and he would reach in and grab everything that he needed. Normally Mark would admit that his dishes were usually very ugly looking but it was hard for even him to mess up this dish as it was literally just two steps. Once he inquired about where knives were he would stare at the sharp blade for a moment before shaking his head at himself and went about slicing the sirloin steak as thinly as he could manage. With that he'd chop up the onions, garlic, and some ginger before then mixing them in a bowl with honey, sugar, sesame seeds, and some oil before tossing the beef in the mixture. Oh! He'd almost forgotten! He also mixed in more than a fair bit of red pepper flakes, Mark was a man who liked his spicy foods. With that he would pull a pan out and heated it on the highest setting the stove had and as he waited for the pan to heat up enough he noted that Damen was already putting the finishing touches on his noodle recipe and...it looked really good. Of course as he silently waited for a moment Mark figured that since Damen was done with his own dish he might as well explain hisI'm uh...I'm making Bulgogi, a real basic Koran barbecue dish..he elaborated before looking at the bowel with beef slices"Normally..you're supposed to..um...uh...to let it marinate...overnight...but it's still just as good...with the marinating..."it was how he usually did it since Mark didn't really mind too much. Once the pan was screaming hot he'd grab a slotted spoon and dumped the entire bowel into the pan as a loud sizzle could be heard as he quickly went about stirring the pan of steak so that each piece was fully cooked. Once he was done Mark slid the entire contents of the pan into a large plate and set it down next to the udon noodles. This was one of the few dishes that he made that looked good as the sugar caramelized and gave it a nice brown color"Well...let's dig in!"he said with a small smile as he motioned to the Korean and Japanese dishes on display.

Outfit:Shirt, Pants, Shoes Wallet: $1,803 --:::------::------------------->⛥<--------------------::------:::--- The demon was glad he had offered to eat lunch at his home and that Mark came up with the idea of combining their dishes. It turned out really well. It was a whole new experience to be sharing the kitchen with someone, but it was a nice kind of experience. Granted meals often were better for good company. Since his meal was quite a fast one, he had ended up just waiting a bit as Mark put the finishing touches on his own. Damen smiled when they spoke of digging in and nodded. "This looks great. That was a good idea my friend. Let's!" he said as they walked to the table once they oversaw the end result and he sat down on one of the chairs. The man was curious as how it would all taste, so he plated some of both dishes and put both his hands together before wishing a good meal.
It wasn't only a habit from his original home, but also of his elven caretaker. Once done he picked up the chopsticks he had placed next to the usual utensils for both, just in case and he started eating. Damen made sure to take his time once he tried some of Mark's meat and soon smiled. "This definitely tastes great together!" he said once he had swallowed his bite and chuckled. The two meals seemed to compliment each other, a meal well made in Damen's opinion. They did well with what they prepared. It was a very nice first lunch in Soleil, that was for sure. Damen made sure to eat enough for the rest of the afternoon, though it still left plenty of food over as well. Not that it mattered. They could be preserved in the fridge. Of course they could split what was left for the next day. Though if they would eat together again, that was fine with Damen too.
So far it all seemed to go well between the friends. As for Damen, Mark was welcome to come visit anytime. But they still had a lot to see as well. The demon looked forward to that. It had been a while since he could hang like this with anyone for a while. The company had always come in first place and it often kept him from home and shut away inside the company itself. To have so much free time and ability to make friends and meet up with them, was a treat by itself. Once Damen had eaten enough, he placed the chopsticks over the plate and waited patiently while he also tried to think what kind of movie they could go for. It would require some finding out about each other's likes, but they had the museum first at any rate. It promises to be a good afternoon ahead.

Mark stared at Damen with an starstruck expression on his face as the other walked away with his dish. Had he heard him right? Had Damen called him Friend? There was no mistaking it, Mark might have had a tone of mental issues but he knew that his hearing was perfectly fine. A genuinely happy smile grew on his face as he grabbed his own plate and set it next Damen's before taking his own seat by him. Mark would pause for a moment as he saw the other man put his hands together and scrambled to mimic the other man's motions just so not to seem so disrespectful. Just as Mark went to go pick up his fork the young man paused and stared for a moment as he saw the chop sticks there next to the utensils"Haven't used these since I moved here..."while his Father was American and had no problem either way his Mother liked it when her kids used chop sticks as a bit of a cultural thing. It was one of the few things he actually didn't mind too much growing up, Mark was perfectly fine happy with maintaining his culture in small ways. But after moving it ended up being that he couldn't find any that were meant for extended use and not those cheap wooded ones that would get thrown away after one use. So Mark would take his own pair of chopsticks and filled up his plate with enough for himself. Granted it took a couple tries before he got back into the swing of using the utensils but soon enough he was back to using them like normal, kind of like riding a bike you never really forget. Once his plate had enough on it he took a bite of the Udon Noodles first and foremost and nodded his head a little bit at the flavor. The soft burn of wasabi tingled his mouth as he ate it which left a pleasant after taste, granted Mark himself could do with some more. But of course that was just personal preference. Mark would then listen to Damen's exclamation and he would take a piece of the meat and also grabbed some noodles before eating them together and he smiled a bit and nodded his head in agreement"They do"he spoke before taking another bite, pleased with his own cooking. As they ate Mark would admit that had a bit more on his plate but it wasn't nearly that long and he finished only a few moments after Damen and let out a soft sigh of contentment. A good lunch without a doubt, usually Mark didn't eat this well for lunch. Usually he just made a peanut butter and jelly sandwich and left it at that. Once they were done Mark offered a small smile to Damen and looked at the leftovers and the dirty dishes"D...Damen is there...anything I can do to..um..help with cleanup?"Mark didn't want his friend to be completely left with cleanup duty by himself, that was just downright lazy and rude. He might strongly dislike his parents but they did raise him to have manners!

Outfit:Shirt, Pants, Shoes Wallet: $1,803 --:::------::------------------->⛥<--------------------::------:::--- It had seemed that Mark also went for the chopsticks. Even in Saela, the man had been eating with chopsticks, on his parents' request to their elven friend. So for him it was easy. He did notice Mark seemed to have a few problems at first, but it soon came back to them. It probably wasn't something one would forget how it worked. Once he finished he had merely waited in case Mark was still going to eat. But they seemed full as well and Damen smiled. "That tasted incredibly well. I am glad we placed our meals together." he praised the lunch. When he was asked about the dishes though he had been of mind to just do it when he got back home later, but it would probably be faster if they worked together on that too. "We can do them together then the task will be done the better." he said with a chuckle and got up from the table. "But let us drink something first." he said as he picked up some of the dishes and placed them on the nearby counter. He then grabbed some clean glasses and placed them down.
"What would you like to drink?" he asked Mark as he turned on his tap so the water could heat up before hand and walked to the fridge to open it so Mark could see the various fruit juices that were placed there. There was orange juice, apple juice, a juice of mixed tropical fruit and some Strawberry with cranberry juice. Since Damen lived alone, he hadn't bought to many of them. He did need to drink them all as well too. Once the other had made his choice, or declined in case they didn't want any, Damen would fill their glasses or just his own glass depending. "It shouldn't take to long to finish it all up and then we can continue the afternoon, unless you wish to hang back a little more." Damen said and smiled. It wasn't like they were in a hurry after all. Once done, Mark could choose whether he wanted to wash or dry and they could get to the dishes.

Mark would nod his head in agreement at the statement that their meals worked well together. Who would have thought that a Korean dish and a Japanese dish would go so well together?"Y..yeah! The noodles were amazing"he complimented the other man with a soft smile before blinking a bit when Damen suggest they do the dishes together to make them go by faster. He quickly nodded his head a little bit as it simply made a lot of sense to do that instead of just one person sitting by. However it wasn't until Damen pointed out the fact that they should have gotten something to drink that Mark realized how thirsty he was. The dishes were amazing but he could actually go something to wash it all down. With that he grabbed his own dirtied dishes and placed them down in the sink alongside Damen's. Once that was done Mark looked in the refrigerator and looked at the options that his friend had presented. Mark pondered for a moment before nodding his head"I'll have..some apple juice...thank you"once the glass was poured Mark would take a drink and smiled a little bit as it was nice and refreshing after a nice lunch. He would then pause for a moment before thinking on it, what should he do? Well the thought only lasted a moment, he was going to offer to do the dishes himself but then he remembered that he wasn't home and there was someone right there with him. He'd have to roll up his jackets sleeves and the mere thought of it caused Mark to internally panic a small bit at the mere thought of it. For once though Mark didn't panic as he had the option to do something else hopefully"Um...W..why don't I dry and..and you wash them?"he suggested hoping that the other man wouldn't dispute or question him on it. Mark would just finish his drink and placed it in the sink with the running water before turning to his new friend and offered a small smile as he picked up what was probably a drying rag since it was right next to the sink.

It didn't matter to him whether he would wash or dry. After all normally he would be doing both either way. When they picked drying, the demon thought nothing of it. He had given them a choice and they chose. It was as simple as that. "Alright, let's get this going then." Damen said playfully and chuckled before he turned to the water and placed the stopper so the water would now stay. He could feel a slight tinge when his skin made contact with the now hot water, but he quickly pulled away his hand and just put some dish washing soap in it. The man nodded when the other grabbed the drying rag, as if confirming it was the right one and then he started washing the dishes. Since he was already just wearing a shirt, he didn't have anything over his arms to worry about.
It didn't take long at all when they did the dishes together. It went so fast, Damen was a little surprised when he saw they already washed everything and he smiled once more. "Looks like we are done already!" he said and washed the soap off his arms and hands before he turned to the dried dished and started to put them away, though he didn't hurry Mark, they had all the time they needed. In the end Damen only left the two glasses. now cleaned, on the counter just in case they wanted another drink. He glanced at the clock to see how far they were in the day, so they wouldn't end up in time shortage and turned to Mark. "What do you think Mark? Another drink and then to the museum? Or just go to the museum now and drink later." he asked. Mark was the one that knew about the distances and such after all. Damen did not, yet.
