Mmm, it doesn't. All I've got so far is 'Simon Newton, a man of class and taste...' [ and that's it. paaaaause. That's it. ]

It needs more work.

[ He sighs. ] That bad, yeah? All right, I like long walks through galleries and museums. I like to look at and talk about art, the aesthetics of things... Lately, I've been finding other people's worlds very interesting, very exciting. The way people light up when the talk about themselves, powers and other things—I don't know, it probably sounds ridiculous, but there's something beautiful about it. About them.

'Simon Newton, age...feel free to lie about that if you want, is an insert-profession-here who enjoys art and culture. A possible date would include a trip to an art museum, or simply having coffee and just talking about yourself."

Since this is for the date auction, I think it'd be nice to tell a little bit about what you'd do if bid on.

Thanks, I like it. Short and sweet. [ He hums in thought. ] Now, what... would I do if bid on?

I'd probably try to get to know the winner, find out about their interests and hobbies, compromise on where we'd go. Though, I think it would be nice to have a fancy dinner, and then have a cab chauffeur us on a night-long tour of the best evening sights in the city. Maybe after that, see where the mood takes us.

That's a grand date—I might have to bid on you myself.

[somethinghidden]

So you are planning on going? [ He chuckles. ] I should have figured as much.

[ Though he highly doubts he's the only one holding Dorian's attention. ]

How about this? If it's you, winner takes all. On me.

[brushoff]

A challenge! [ it's really obvious that, even over the phone, he's just GRINNING. ] And you know what Simon, I accept.

[somethinghidden]

[ Another laugh, more amused. Simon must be smiling, and is possibly really flattered (maybe even blushing) at Dorian's attention. Can't be certain on the phone, but that's what imagination is for. ]

Yeah, very well then. I look forward to seeing you then. Take care, now.

Until Saturday! [ and click goes the phone. ]
