(So this is a bit of an odd message that Lucretia has been trying to figure out how to word for a good ten minutes or so. How exactly do you broach the subject of having won somebody's time in an auction? And that you're going to use that time to kind of ask them out to lunch or something?? It's not like Bill doesn't know this is the case, either, and that only makes it all the more nerve-wracking.

Lucretia knows she is, as usual, overthinking the situation. Eventually, she forces herself to just give Bill a call like a normal fucking person would because though she'd love to hide behind a text message, it feels far too clinical given the circumstances.

How do Taako and Lup do things like this. She frowns and taps her fingers restlessly as the call connects.)


Hi, Bill? It's uh– it's Lucretia.

(That positive answer does help ease her nerves a bit, actually.)

Not much. I was calling to ask if you'd maybe like to go out to lunch with me? (She doesn't mention the auction directly, figuring it's obvious.)

(Hmm, this could get complicated. Lucretia's too pleased by Bill's answer to even think of this, unfortunately.)

Oh– okay! There's this lovely place by the market-side and... I thought maybe we could go walk by the river, if you haven't been there yet. It's very beautiful.

I'm free from the day after tomorrow, if anything around that time suits you?

(Oh nice, like a big combo breaker date.)

[personal profile] scholiast 2017-08-20 02:09 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh that's perfect, actually.

(She jots that down in her notebook, and circles the date.) You'll have to tell me about your class!

(Whoops she meant, like, on the date but Bill's enthusiasm is adorable.)

Oh, neat. Are you interviewing people for it?

Did you go and help with that at all?

I got back from a work trip in the middle of the festival and didn't have the energy to lend a hand, unfortunately.

[personal profile] scholiast 2017-08-25 01:13 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, that's good of you.

My trip was nice, albeit busy; I work at Gramarye, as a magical researcher. So lots of research got done. But I feel pretty good about it.

Yes.

(Lucretia's been called a mage a couple times now, so she's appreciative all the same!)

Yes, it's defensive. Shields, wards. Sometimes glyphs.

Oh. (Nobody's ever said that to her before.)

Thank you!

(She chuckles into her hand, beyond pleased.)

Of course. I'll be happy to help any time you need it.

I'm looking forward to it.

I'll see you day after tomorrow, then.
