If Riley is calm, collected, and comfortable in a mess of overgrown plants and art supplies, Giulio is a hotheaded, dramatic mess himself who prefers utter minimalism. Riley works in the medium of painting, and Giulio works in the medium of passion—er, sculpture, generally. Whatever has Giulio bothered, whether it's the trees being wrong or the sunset coming too soon (or Riley, but hold that thought), you'll likely hear him stomp around the gallery about it, grumbling in his pidgin mix of English and Italian, before turning that fire into art. Art, damn you!

Giulio is essentially this man if he were gay and also a seal.

Giulio hails from the heart of Italy, leaving about 30 years prior to the story. Through some freak occurrence, despite not speaking a word of English at the time, he caught a flier for a vacancy at an Art Gallery in a place called Apricot Bay and ended up right on the doorstep of its owner, a much younger Riley. While Riley's long known he has a thing for Giulio, Giulio's yet to admit it to himself or to anyone else, leading to...semi-frequent teasing from the otter lad~...

Art and homosexuality aside, Riley and Giulio click remarkably well, and can usually be seen fishing together or chilling in Apricot Lake, which the Art Gallery overlooks. Hey, it's been home to them for decades now, might as well make use of it!
