He'd been right about the coffee, he decided. It was certainly better than what he managed to make himself. His smile turned into a grin as he contemplated the man across from him. "I admit, I have seen some of your work. I was rather impressed." And maybe it wasn't the best opening gambit, but if pressed he would have admitted to locking himself in his room with some of the movies.

He crushed out the cigarette and cleared his palate before taking a drink, completely oblivious to any powers Felix did or didn't have.
"Any reason ya stayed off the radar on purpose? I've found hiding in plain sight works just fine fer me - an' that's fer both jobs."

"I had some particularly unpleasant experiences," he said after another sip of his coffee. "And I am not eager to experience them again." Not for the first time he considered just how fine the line was between those experiences and what he had chosen to continue doing. It was control, he decided. That was the difference.
But there was time for that later.

Ah the difference between prostitution and pornography. Somehow, some way - and Gojyo was aware of this - all of his bad luck never manifested during the short time he'd worked the streets by himself. Rather, it had been channeled into good luck when he stumbled on the porno world and what it could provide him: namely a higher income.
"I know how that is, though, which is why I hated letting some of my kids go... you get so attached to 'em..." He shook his head wearily, "but in the end this is still business an' if they're more interested in their drugs than what they owe me, well... I stop owing them anything either."

He made a vague noise, remembering his own encounters with drug usage. He resisted the urge to rub his arms and settled for tapping his long fingers on his elbow. "I imagine you're eager to replace them." His tone of voice mae it both a statement and a question.
