Why go artificial when you can have the real deal?

Synthetic diamonds are a big consumer business. Natural doesn't count if there is a bigger steady profit to be made from a synthetic sale. It's about profit baby, not what's real.

For the average consumer who wants the pretty bling without the big bite in the wallet, synthetic will always be the better seller. Bonus is, synthetics have improved in quality, it is sometimes hard to tell the real thing from the fake with the naked eye.

If I'm spending money on something for someone it'll be all real baby.

Guess see the point, it's legal counterfitting of a sort.

If you ever do, talk to me and I will make sure you get the real thing for a good price. I have a business in diamonds.

Yes, that is it exactly.

Not like I'd let someone do that to my ashes man.

I might unless I'm getting something for you.

What would you like done with your ashes?

There are better things to spend your money on.

Blown out the window of my car at 120mph.

I think you are one of them. Problem with that?

Hope you keep vintage cars. Because when that happens I'd like to know you were a really, old guy.

Maybe.

I keep all kinds of cars.

Not what I meant. I want to see you grow old, maybe see you chase your grand kids around drag racing with them in your granny motorized bike.

Nice visual. Have to find a woman willing to put up with a racer first.

Or kids. I'm sure you'll find one who'll be happy to put up with both.

That's a tall order.

Given the right girl, I think she'd be able to fill it pretty good.

I just guess my eye ends up on the wrong girls then.

That ain't right. Ya ever hear someone suggest that as a suitable way to treat my ashes, I want ya to take my ashes back.

I...don't know that I'd want to do it? But, I don't know. It'd certainly look prettier on the shelf than an urn.

You'll have to make a note of it in your Will what you want done with your ashes. Then you know for certain you'll get what you want.

Do you want to be scattered about and trodden on? Or looked upon and admired for sparkling beauty? That's the way I see it. Silly idea isn't it?

Just throw my crispy, ashen carcass in the sea.

I'll remember.

Thank ya.

Are you still on vacation?

Has he shown up for work?

He who?

Breacan.

What has he got to do with your time away?

Yeah. I'm back. I think.

Do you want me to change the subject?

I dunno what the subject is, so no sense changing it.

I can come by and look at the new space whenever ya'd like me to.

Every time Breacan is mentioned it seems like it is uncomforable for you.

I'd like that. I want work to begin on the place straight away. Maybe have the new place opened by the new year.

It's... it's complicated.

Ya just let me know and I'll make time to come back and look. Then we can talk 'bout what ya want.

Yes. I suppose it would be. Gay guy, straight guy, can't get more complicated than that.

I know what I want. I want the Retro as it is now, but on a bigger, grander scale.

Ya still think that guy's straight? I don't think I can agree with that statement. Not even a little bit. Bi, sure. But he ain't straight.

Guess I'm just gonna havta see the space, then. Ya pick the time.

All right, I will let you know a time when I can show you the property.

Then the terms straight and bi or closeted aren't right either. At best, he is asexual. Even with his wife, which in the grand scheme of things was a very short time, you never saw him make sexual advances towards her. Oh sure, you could see his feelings for her in his eyes from time to time, if he let his guard down. The man has the most expressive eyes I've ever seen.

But overall? His proclivities to be a sexual creature is not high. Even you would agree, if he is making advances there always seems to be a feel of reluctance about him. Maybe that is due to lack of experience, I'm not sure.

Though you can't honestly stand there and tell me, he has been with other men, or that he honestly wishes to. And that experience wise he is sexually gifted.

Why he is with you, I have no idea.

*is visibly annoyed* Just because someone doesn't make sexual advances doesn't mean they ain't got a sexuality. That isn't the same thing, at all. A man or woman can not be openly sexual and still have leanings.

I know men who... *stops and shakes his head*

Just call me. *walks away before he starts to get angry*

*Sighs. And watches him walk away.*

Makes sense! All we are is carbon, really.

Yes. Makes me wonder what size you'd get back in return.

I wonder that too. Boy, morbid, isn't it?

Insanely morbid.

Change of subject? Hi, my name is Fin.

Hi Fin! I'm Bee!

Bee, nice to meet you.
