As Ilijas stepped away from his home-turned-studio, he could only detect a faint and inescapable pride towards his dedication to what once was a simple and uncultivated thought. He'd been wandering most of his life, snapping pictures of the great unknown and processing the best of the shots to keep in a leather bound journal found on his person always; why not continue to do what he loved in exchange for objects and better supplies? While nature tended to be his favorite medium, he figured that there was joy within photographing another person in their own element, capturing the way their lips turned up in a smile or the way light shown in their eyes. He'd have fun with this, that was for certain. Not to mention the fact that having his shop in a portion of his home, pictures of mountains and forests decorating the walls, the occasional image of Talanah from before they had parted sprinkled in here and there, made him feel so much more comfortable.

Ilijas would look at the sign near his paws, the wood crudely parted with a random blade he had found to spell out 'Steady Stars'. The name had been the hardest part of this entire process for the young boy, especially given all the options he had had at his disposal. This one seemed most fitting though, an extension of who he was just as much as it was a pretty thing to say - a pretty thing to hear. He'd lift it carefully, ensuring that the pointed stake it was mounted to was still relatively sharp, before piercing the earth in front of his porch. Maybe one day, he'd paint the sign, bringing the jars of paints that he loved so dearly from the recesses of the drawer they currently lingered within to add some flair to it. Today was not that day however, not when he could barely sit still out of pure excitement.

[color=gray]"Hey y'all," Ilijas called brightly, a smile tugging upon obsidian shade lips, the fox himself practically squirming from where he was situated, [color=gray]"Welcome to my photography studio! For a simple price that you decide, I'll either photograph here or at a location of your choosing! I'll also be running a little bit of a bakery out of my house too- breads, cakes, pastries, the whole shabang. It's safe to say that Steady Stars is now open for business!"
