Oooh. I'm on mobile this weekend on a scuba trip but definitely taking the time to discuss.
My idea for the Armie is that he's a venture capitalist that Cale was talking to (Cale runs an org that brings entreprreneurs and creatives in the "frontier tech" world with venture capitalists and people with money, and governments etc). They were talking a partnership and the cheeky Armie-face took him to the Ranch, and bestowed upon him his first gay experience. Initially I thought he made cale watch, then got him a snake for himself too or they shared one.
Let me know if that interests you!
If it doesn't I would be happy to come up with something else!
