154th Devotion: Falling in Love Again~

[favoritetraitor]

[Video for Cameron, because good looks are best used this way.]
[Solomon is impeccable in suit and tie, blonde hair lightly toussled as he gives his most charming smile to the camera.]

Ms. Cameron... I trust you received the roses I sent? Were they to your liking?


[Filtered from Allison Cameron, open to everyone else]
Who here has had the delight of speaking with Doctor Allison Cameron? I'm seeking to know her likes, and dislikes...



[ooc: Let the Love fest begin~. Stupid Cupid curse.]

Comments

[manyadenouement]

Are you, dear brother?

[favoritetraitor]

Surely an angel that walks amongst us, Nathan. Or perhaps goddess is more fitting...

[manyadenouement]

Tell me more, tell me more. Like does she have a car?

[favoritetraitor]

I'm quite serious, Nathan.

[manyadenouement]

I believe it.

By the way, I wouldn't take dating advice from a pest by the way.

[favoritetraitor]

Nothing to worry about... I'm not asking for advice. [I mean really, does he need it?] Merely information~.

[manyadenouement]

I could go find out things but he's terrible at this.

[favoritetraitor]

Would you?

[manyadenouement]

It will entertain me.

[favoritetraitor]

Wonderful~. I do appreciate it.

[manyadenouement]

Don't listen to foolish people while I'm gone~

[as_damaged]

I received them.

[favoritetraitor]

[He pauses, a flicker of uncertainty crossing his features momentarily.]

... were they not to your liking? Perhaps you prefer a different flower?

[as_damaged]

What makes you think I want flowers?

[No, she does. But Cameron is allergic to making this sort of thing easy.]

I suppose I ought to say thank you.

[favoritetraitor]

If they displease you, allow me to make it up to you. Come to dinner with me.

[as_damaged]

You can't just buy dinner-dates with flowers.

[favoritetraitor]

No, of course not. The flowers were mere gifts, although they pale in comparison to your beauty.

Might I ask what are your objections to a date with me?

[as_damaged]

Cliches and over-commercialized gestures aren't a solid foundation for a relationship. I don't even know you. We don't know each other.

[favoritetraitor]

Surely you've seen me... I've noticed you. We work in the same building, share the same passion of medicine. [Okay, this stings a little. Solomon is used to girls noticing him for his good looks.]

Dinner is a very effective way for us to get to know each other better.

[as_damaged]

You assume that I'm looking for someone to date.

[Well maybe she has. Really, she probably has; but Cameron is mostly attracted to emotional damage, so.]

[favoritetraitor]

On the contrary. A beautiful, dedicated, intelligent woman such as yourself is surely in no short supply of dates if that's what you wish.

But being here in the City can be difficult. With so many tulmultuous occurances, shouldn't we take some time for ourselves? An evening with pleasant company, fine food, good wine... what's wrong with wanting this?

[as_damaged]

I don't subscribe to that storybook notion of romance. It's not the idea of relaxing, or even the company. I don't know why you think I'd want to be swept off my feet.

[valentineluke]

[Not again.] Bit soon to be out in the dating pool isn't it?

[Filtered from Allison Cameron, open to everyone else]

[favoritetraitor]

I shouldn't wait, Luke. Such perfection waits on no man.

Re: [Filtered from Allison Cameron, open to everyone else]

[valentineluke]

[Silver lining; not Saya.] Try at least to take it slow. Coming on too strong could frighten her off.

[Filtered from Allison Cameron, open to everyone else]

[favoritetraitor]

Nonsense. What woman doesn't love being romanced?

Re: [Filtered from Allison Cameron, open to everyone else]

[valentineluke]

[So not going for the obvious answer.] Nuns.

[favoritetraitor]

I could argue that... as much as they would deny it, they're still flesh and blood.

[mortemscintilla]

...Sending your [ not-so unfortunate victim? ] lady-friend flowers, Mister Solomon?

That's sort of old-fashioned. But I guess it's romantic, too.

[favoritetraitor]

Old fashioned? [He smiles at this.]

Well, from my experience, it is something that all women hunger for deep inside. It's only right that they should be given every romantic gesture.

[mortemscintilla]

We-ell. I'd hesitate to generalize.

Then again I don't have much luck with the ladies.

[ Because he's a duplicitous, self-serving, and a liar, maybe. ]

[favoritetraitor]

You should consider trying it next time. You might be pleasantly surprised with the results.

[mortemscintilla]

Are they, um, outcome-successful for you so far?

[ Let's get together and exchange notes on technique, Sol. ]

[favoritetraitor]

Why yes. [So sayeth a very confidently smooth talking Solomon. Boyish charm doesn't hurt as well.]

[mortemscintilla]

[ Cameron's reaction sayeth otherwise, but Li is too polite to comment. ]

I dunno...

I was always taught to go for the ... subtle approach, I guess.

[ If subtle is a code for insidious. ]
