[ now he sends an image of what he had in mind. with the cosplay culture in neo tokyo, it wasn't hard to find clothing similar to what kabru is familiar with. ]
[ Kabru takes a moment to think about this. It's true that he's very fond of this man. He feels calm and accepted around him, and the attraction -- he sort of felt it from the start? Months back he would be happy to say yes. Right now, with the mess he's in with Laios, he feels more inclined to be careful. ]
A few months back, I would have loved to go out with you. Right now ... I've already hurt someone else. I think you deserve better than that.
[ Messing up the friendship they share by taking it in a different direction would definitely hurt more. ]
[It's an interesting sort of turn, he thinks. Romance has never been something he's been an expert in, his experiences few and far between. Romance in the City, too, wasn't something most Fixers pursued for good reason. He was used to more casual flings, without expectations, and its only here that he found himself wandering into more serious paths.]
[Kabru is a nice man. He's easy on the eyes, and behind the attempt to please so many, he's pleasant and nice to talk to. He's considerate and a real gentleman. Vergilius is not looking for romance so readily, especially after Malkuth, but...]
[It feels like the City again. Dabbling without anything truly attached.]
well now don't decide on my behalf
if you simply want to go out to go out without any sort of expectations, i wouldn't say no.
[ The temptation is certainly there, and stronger now that Vergilius has responded and looks to be keen. Following the events in Transylvania and his tumultuous interpersonal relationship with someone important to him, Kabru is honestly quite tired. It would be nice to be able to spend time with someone without any set expectations, and maybe share some intimacy if it's what the evening calls for. He likes people; talking to them, holding them, kissing them if permitted. Of course going on a date is something he really enjoys.
This sounds fun. It doesn't have to be anything more than two friends enjoying each other's company. ]

It usually takes some time to calibrate, but after a few hours you should be able to control it.

In ... that case ...
I would like to take you out ...

[But he might have a little fun, first.]

I didn't expect you to say yes.
This makes me happy. Shall we go for a drink?
no subject
