now, julien, i worry that you might be mistaking me for someone with standards
we didn’t exactly spend a lot of time discussing our personal interests, after all. besides, he spent coin on me, didn’t he? and he’d like to try again. i think that’s sweet
What can I say? I have an eye for quality when it comes to choosing bedmates. It accounts for my popularity among the clientele of the Elfsong Tavern, you know?
That's rather sweet of you. Why not send him off with some coin to be schooled in the art of love-making at Sharress' Carress, while you're at it?
[ Julien isn't normally this spicy, but dammit, Oleander, choose better partners. ]
My night-blooming flower, have you any idea the silent agony I've endured, watching you bring back these uncouth dullards to your bed night after night? The look of disappointment on your face each morning was like a knife to my heart!
It would be an honor and a pleasure to warm your bed this evening, for I confess, I have also been in want of companionship.
And... I have wanted you, Oleander, for quite sometime...
You may not possess the impeccable manners of a pedigreed noble, but it does not detract at all from your other qualities. Such as your sharp wit and incomprehensible sense of humor, which I find to be quite charming, actually.
Well, I had thought you had eyes for someone else among our merry little band of adventurers, and I didn't wish to intrude upon that. So, I thought that if I simply waited long enough, you would be the one to approach me, if you had any interest.
[ Julien, you absolute walnut. Oleander isn't a mind-reader, wait— ]
well i suppose i can’t deny that i might have my eye on somebody, but i’m not at all sure whether said somebody is at all interested in me. it gets complicated so quickly, doesn’t it? it would be no good to spook him and scare him away.
still. i’ll take your compliments and your offer - as it stands i see no reason why we can’t enjoy one another’s company
If only romance were as uncomplicated in real life as it is in faerie tales! If such were the case, I would not have agonized over approaching you for so long.
[ "Him," they say? Well, that rules out Shadowheart and Lae'zel, for sure! But Julien's always had a sneaking suspicion that Oleander has been eyeing the charming vampire spawn that seems intent on stealing as much attention (and blood) as possible. ]
I feel as though I ought to wine and dine you, despite you already agreeing to my proposition. I may not be a culinary wizard, but I can put together an appetizing charcuterie board and pair it with some wine. I've kept a very special vintage tucked away, just for emergencies.
[ Listen, Julien has their priorities when it comes to looting and pillaging, okay? ]

[ Which, let's be real, they do have rather discerning tastes when it concerns romantic partners.
Unless they happen to sport tentacles, apparently.]...All right, fine. You've made your point. But he's on thin fucking ice, understand?
no subject
thin ice is acceptable. how about this: if i don’t come the next time we fuck, i’ll let him down gently

we don’t all come from money, sweet julien - and i’m certainly not investing my ill-gotten gains into someone who can’t even get me properly wet
but, if you’re willing to donate to the cause …

After all, a knight lives to serve... on their knees, if asked.

i mean an enthusiastic “oh yes please” goes without saying, obviously, but that really is ever such a generous offer
these nights since the disappointment have been frustrating, to say the least

why did you not say something sooner? we could have been having all sorts of fun together!
