In fact, he readily welcomed it. Any chance to see the members of The Badlands enhancing the appearance of the city was encouraged, especially since it meant there was less work for Teddy to have to actively delegate. It was exactly what he had hoped for; visitors stepping through the territory in awe because of how beautifully manicured its surroundings were. And, as Teddy approached to see Anya painting the exterior of her quaint beach home, Teddy’s lips twitched at the sight of the yellow. The pastels nearly reminded Teddy of the French Quarter back at home, the way the beachfront homes all boasted the mellow hues of colour that brightened the shoreline.
❝ Ah, la joie de vivre[sup]1[/sup]! ❞ Teddy hummed as he stood nearby with his hands on his hips. Eyes admired her beachside outfit for a moment before he averted his gaze to observe the new lick of paint. Why was Teddy here, all the way on the other side of the beach, to visit Anya? Well, that was nobody’s business. All he could do was shift his weight before gesturing over towards the wall. ❝ I like da colour. Nice day to be out here too. Perfect weather, perfect music… ❞ Soon, he hopped up the steps onto the deck to stand closer, nodding his head in admiration as he looked at her supplies before turning to gaze across at her. ❝ A dancer and an artist... ❞ Slowly, he nodded his head, lips curling into a smile, ❝ I like it. ❞
He stood for a second before turning to wander towards the back door of her house. ❝ These are my favourite linen trousers so I’d hate to ruin them, but I can make us drinks. ❞ Less of an offer than it was a statement, but when Teddy insisted on kindness there was usually a valid reason. He liked being in Anya’s company — she was a beautiful girl inside and out — and so no wonder he’d try to make the best use of his time in order to spend longer on this side of the beach. He helped himself to oranges on the counters, working on squeezing them until he could produce enough orange juice for the both of them before eventually returning with two glasses. That was his work done for the day, lowering the glasses on a nearby table as he announced, ❝ A drink for the beautiful lady. ❞
The charm was sickening.
