Darius nodded but frowned as now their muse was very unhappy. He hadn't lied and hadn't intended to mislead, it was just a misstep. "I am sorry I forgot to tell you sooner. And yes, I'll pay you well. I already intended to!" He said as he led the way. There was no hesitancy among any who worked there to let him and his guest inside. There was no question he was who he said.

Darius also didn't waste time to care if anyone saw them as he led the way up to his room. It was large and had an odd assortment of things inside, from silks to strange taxidermy animals posed and dressed like little soldiers or musicians. He had painting supplies around the room and a few musical instruments cast aside in a corner. IT wasn't crowded, but it was haphazardly arranged and the empty wine bottles left around were the only things that truly should have been cleaned up.

"See? Just my room with plenty of space to paint." He gestured towards a love seat and on the wall just beyond was a large canvas hung up with Sonia from the Diamond Pony, painted sitting upon said love seat facing a window in a state of undress but kept modest with her hair and some fabric around her.

"That is my favorite piece but I have plenty more I can show you." He said. He was planning on closing the door before they began, but he wasn't about to make his guest feel trapped. "And then we can decide on the price, if you like?"
