Eighth Summoning [Voice] || Sometimes I'm nervous when I talk

-right.

[There's a small pause, and Nathaniel takes a deep breath, before starting to speak.]

As you all know, there is a festivity of sorts, held on Friday. For preparation, I am willing to teach a class on the basics of dance Thursday evening. Though I am not a certified instructor in the matter, I have attended several galas which required such... things, and I have had instruction on- dance. [God, it sounds so girly when he says it like that. But with friends like Makepeace, he knows the basics, which is far more than you barbaric lot.]

I will also be attending the prom of sorts if anyone wishes to speak to me face to face- on any matter. Thank you.

[Private to Hino Rei || Unhackable]

[There's a long pause, as if he's not sure if he really wants to say this- but he goes with it anyway, taking a deep breath.]

...I have located another spirit that I believe to be residing in Adstringendum. Something a bit more powerful than Faisal. If... if you like, [a deep breath] you can watch the summoning.

[He lets out a soft sound, like he's nervous, maybe.] Um- not that I think it would be particularly entertaining, but you seemed... curious about that sort of thing. It would be easier than trying to explain everything.

Dancing lessons? [Seriously?]

Oh. [She feels the urge to ask 'why?' but refrains from doing so.] Well I guess that's as good a way as any, then.

Are you going? To the prom, I mean.

[And of course he would ask that, wouldn't he?] I... don't know yet.

It's your choice. At any rate, it'll be a good night to socialize. People don't like trusting in those whom they cannot meet face to face.

I know. [But it'll probably upset her boyfriend if she says no.]

People have plenty of other occasions of meeting me face to face. Besides meeting me in a dress [She makes a face.] might not be the best way to make them trust me as a unit leader.

Nonsense. I've known many women who were just as capable in formal wear as out of them.

[A pause. And he winces.]

-I didn't mean it like that.

[That actually makes Raven chuckle a bit.] You have such a way with words, John.

And I know you didn't mean it like that.

So... who are you taking to the prom, then?

Ah, um. Miss Rei, from the power containment unit has agreed to accompany me.

[A little blushing and rubbing at the back of his neck.]

Oh. Interesting choice.

[She notices the blush but tactfully decides not to comment on it.]

-interesting?

[Curiously.]

[Video] [Private]

[identity profile] feel-nevermore.livejournal.com 2011-11-16 04:19 am (UTC)(link)
[She shrugs.] Why yes.

You like her, then?

[identity profile] knew-anyway.livejournal.com 2011-11-16 04:23 am (UTC)(link)
She is a powerful ally and a good friend.

[HOW DO YOU LIKE YOUR VAGUE, RAVEN, SCRAMBLED OR SUNNY SIDE UP?]

[SUNNY SIDE UP, WITH BACON PLEASE.]

[Actually it so much sounds like an answer she could have given it makes her smile a bit.] I'm glad to hear that. That you've made friends and allies, I mean.

It hasn't been easy, but I have a few people I can trust.

[A slight nod.]

You're one of them. I hope you know that.

[She pauses a bit, before she nods.] Of course. I do.

[identity profile] knew-anyway.livejournal.com 2011-11-16 05:18 am (UTC)(link)
Good.

[He nods.]

I look forward to seeing you there.

[Nope, you don't get a say in the matter.]

I said I haven't decided yet.

[Like hell she doesn't. :|]

It won't be that bad. Besides, if something happens, we need people from the police force there.

[A soft snort.] Now you sound like Jean Louis.

...that was not my intention.

I bet it wasn't.

[Though it shows that Raven hadn't meant it in a bad way.]

[He bites his lip.]

I hope you don't see me like him.

You didn't like him much it seems.
