Renaissance Faire had finally arrived! The streets and sidewalks leading up to the cafe were properly decorated with posters, streamers, and

Still trying to pick up girls, 'Gene?
[Hopefully, the other male hasn't seen his rather poor earlier performance with the cute blond]

But not now. Now he is brushing off the bump with a mischievous grin. These observant brown eyes saw everything.]
Looks like I'm having better luck at my game than you are, Twinkletoes.

Oh crap, of course he saw that. Still, Desmond shrugs lightly]
Hey, I still got picked up. You, on the other hand, are still on the side lines.

[THAT EXACTLY. Do you know how difficult it's been to wean himself off the stuff? He wasn't an alcoholic before that event you know. D8 If you knew it was bad for him, you should've resisted his charming advances! AND YOU CALL YOURSELF THE LEVEL-HEADED ONE.
Also, laughing. You're not getting out of this one that easily]
What was with that performance, Des?

Someone special I'm guessing? Never pegged you to be the type to settle down, Gene.
[Hey hey, he didn't know you before the event! And all his memories of you were of you being a funny drunk too! HE IS STILL THE LEVEL-HEADED ONE! He gave you watered down horse piss beer, remember?
/sobs, he never gets a break, can he?]
That....well, that was me trying not to disappoint? I can't dance, I'm not going to even deny it.

FLYNN DOESN'T THINK SO. And that horse-piss beer probably cut down a certain percent of his life. D: But now that he's become a casual drinker maybe you can make it up to him sometime with a free drink or three? ;D]
You really can't. [he does not even attempt to hide his amusement] Guess that's why you stuck to staying behind the bar, eh?

I'll take that silence as a yes. [He then gives a look at the dancing crowd] Which one? [AKA do you need a wingman, Gene?]
Yeah, that's where I'm the most skillful. [Well, there are other areas he has skills in like killing people and free-running, but you're not going to know about them. Hopefully.]

There's nothing going on, okay? We sort of started on the wrong foot.
[he might sounds a little wistful there, despite the casual approach. WHATEVER COULD IT MEAN.]
Reply
Huh-huh. That sounded convincing. [He pauses for a moment, smirking lightly]....Yeah, I'm convinced. [The sarcasm in his words can easily be picked up. Still, he is more amused than anything else at this]
What happened?

She has something I own and she won't give it to me until I take her to see the lanterns. It's a tradition we have back home, very pretty. [and romantic]
We were on our way there when Somarium decided to pick us up.

And now you're trying to make it up to her for missing this lantern thing? Why not see if you can't organize something similar here? I mean, if someone can do a Renaissance Faire, nothing says a lantern festival can't be done.
[Desmond says that with a nonchalant shrug. He's not an expert in ladies, but it seems to him that the best thing to do is to reproduce the things his lady will miss at home, no?]
Reply
[Yeah, something like that would definitely put a smile on her face. He doesn't realize it yet but it puts a smile on his face just thinking about it.]
Reply
[He knows that look and smile. It's the same one he's seen on Shaun when him and Becca gets to spend time together. It's probably the same look he wears when he thinks of either Lucy or Jessamine. Not that he'll admit though.
And something in Flynn's words strikes him and there's an amused snort that escapes him]
Wait....your world is called 'Corona'?
[That explain the drunkenness during the 1920s period.]
Reply
[hands crossed over chest + eyebrow raised at you, bro. You makin' fun of his homeland?]
Yeah, the Kingdom of Corona. What of it?
Reply
Desmond chuckles goodheartedly]
Nothing. Back home, Corona is a beer brand. I just thought it was funny, since you know, you were such a drunk during that week.
