Drabble: Having First Met, Orlando/Elijah

[ainigma]

I was reading through orlijah_month recently, and among the fine responses to the intriguing prompts there, I discovered a drabble by ladysunrope. In addition to being a stellar example of the form, it seemed to leave room for expansion. When I read the comments on the entry, I saw tweedle_'s remark that the drabble needed a partner from the other person's point of view. Almost

I like this as much as I liked ladysunrope's! It's lovely. :)

That's a very flattering comparison indeed, thank you so much! ::smiles::

GUH! I loved ladysunrope´s drabble and this just fits perfectly with it, in that dreamy sexy way of what´s going on behind a polite introduction - while instead imagining a first kiss..
Absolutely love this!

I loved her drabble, too, so I'm very happy to know mine works for you. There really is something sexy about the inner voice disguised by the polite exterior. A person might have a nice, proper façade, but there can be wild imaginings going on beneath the surface. Thanks very much for your comment!

A lovely partner to ladysunrope's drabble. Elijah's confidence contrasts to Orlando's nervousness so beautifully. Thanks for joining us! :)

I thought hers was lovely, and it made me want to know what was going on from Elijah's side. Your suggestion was just the thing I needed to make me write it. The similarities and contrasts between the two of them really intrigued me. Thanks for your comment and for your help! ::smiles::

[ladysunrope]

wow -this is perfect and thank you so much for giving us the other 'voice'.
And I adore a confident Elijah so thanks for that too!

[ainigma]

Your drabble was so wonderful that I couldn't keep an "answer" to myself, so I'm delighted -- and not a little relieved -- that it meets with your approval! And yes, a confident Elijah is not only appealing but credible, and here, he's clearly the experienced one. Thank you so much for giving me the inspiration to write this and for commenting!

Really, a perfect companion drabble to ladysunrope's charming post. Thank you for providing the other bookend.

Hers really was charming, so I'm very happy to hear this matches with it. I enjoyed finding the other bookend. ::grins:: Thanks so much for your comment.
