Bill was reminded of a maze as he looked at each doorway, trying to think of a good way to go about this. If they only made right turns, then it would be much easier to find their way out, as well. He smiled at Emil as he nodded towards the right hand doorway.
"How about just taking right turns?" he asked, smiling at the other. He wasn't sure how big this place was, but it must have been fairly big, if even Emil hadn't seen everything here.
The purpose of the question had been more to get a feel for what sort of art Emil liked, but he had a feeling that since Emil was such a 'jack of all arts', then perhaps he liked a great variety of art, too. Bill hadn't had as much exposure to any sort of art to know what he liked for sure, but he knew that whatever sound
that had been was definitely out.
He slipped his hand into Emil's, tugging him gently towards the right doorway. The next room featured one painting on each wall, each with
neon paint. These were much more to his liking, he found, as he stood in front of the first one, hand still linked with Emil's.
He hoped the vampire didn't mind, he really didn't. It was hard for him to get a feel as to what, exactly, was okay with this vampire and what wasn't. Sometimes he felt as though he could crawl into Emil's lap and all would be fine, yet others he was terrified of overstepping his bounds. What if he did something the other didn't like, and Emil simply went with it and didn't let Bill know? Then where would he be?
He wanted little touches like this so badly, though…and Emil
did say that they were friends…friends held hands, didn't they? Was it too clingy, though? Thomas had said before that Bill was being too clingy, was he being too clingy now? But it felt so
awkward, just walking through the place, not touching, barely speaking. He needed
something.
"I like this a lot better," he commented, smiling shyly at the vampire. "It's so colorful and pretty…I'm afraid I don't know any of the artistic terms, though."
