@ObsidianVihuela "...Right, stronger. Very well, I suppose I shall keep myself armed for... A casual night out. Did you need to get ready or anything? Or shall we go?"
@ObsidianVihuela He thought to himself before shaking his head.
"...No, Miss Leda. I won't allow you to do that. Summoning them freely already concerns me as an ally with Obsidian's grip on you. But summoning them in Dagsion to roam free is too risky. Innocent people could get hurt."
@ObsidianVihuela "...And, Miss Leda. I had intended to end the evening with stargazing. Would you care to join me? Not romantically, the night sky is just.. Too beautiful to enjoy alone."
He braced himself for the roughest rejection possible, honestly. But you can't win if you don't play, right?
@ObsidianVihuela "Right, we will do just that."
He folded his arms over his chest, he had intended on the night being an enjoyable birthday dinner, but if he must sacrifice that to allow Leda a spot to enjoy herself... So be it.
@ObsidianVihuela "Very well."
He turns away, for just a moment, before...
"...Miss Leda, would you care to join us? I had made plans with Buccar and Mu to get dinner at the Midtown Inn."
"...And before you ask, no, I do not intend to ask you any more than this."
@ObsidianVihuela "I am no fool, Miss Leda. I do use protection, and intimacy is not always how those interactions end. But what does it matter to you? Your view of me may never change."
"I have other plans to attend to with some... friends, this evening. More innocent, if it matters that much."
@ObsidianVihuela "My end goal is never a woman's bed. But if that is how my night ends, do you hear me complaining? No, my target was in fact a woman, but a woman with connections to an outlawed orichalchum cache."
@ObsidianVihuela "Late? I do not recall having anything planned for today. Do remind me what I am late for."
He adjusted the ribbon on his hat. Had he forgotten something...?
