[Perell had largely been lurking on social media between naps and all but devouring every book on magic that he happened upon in the archives, but this ad was so reminiscent of something he hadn't seen in a very long time that it was hard to resist.]

Satisfaction? Are we talking about a date, or a job? That is, unless you do your negotiations... behind closed doors.

[jedies]

I have conducted those behind closed doors. I think here, it is merely an euphemism.

[frogiturgy]

I know. It was a bad joke.

Anyway, nice ad. What kind of partners are you looking for?

[jedies]

Hopefully people closer to my age. And not interested in long term commitments.

[frogiturgy]

I'm not interested in long term either, but my Omen is going to continue biting my ankles if I don't make friends outside the house.

[with that Obi-Wan would receive a quick picture of a large, spectral koi curled up on the floor around Perell's feet, glowering at the camera.]

I am Perell. I also don't want her to shoot water at me again.

How about coffee? Or whatever people do for fun around here?

[jedies]

They do get a bit feisty, don't they?

Coffee sounds lovely. Or drinks, if that's your preference.

[frogiturgy]

I've only been here for a month, but Koi has... a Personality.

Either-or for the drinks and the venue. You probably have a better idea of what's good, so just say the place and I'll be there.

Although if it's drinks, I will say that I should probably not be out too late. My--

My Nephew might cry again if I'm not back in the morning.

[jedies]

I can help you get home if that's easier. I have no issues working around your preferences. I do know some nice bars at least.

[frogiturgy]

It's been a very long time since I've dated, and even then it was not to the norms of this town. We can roll with whatever you think is appropriate for the situation.

[jedies]

Well, dating should be casual and start with us getting to know each other and being comfortable.

And I'll never say no to drinks.

[frogiturgy]

Casual, with drinks.

That sounds perfect.

[jedies]

Shall I see you tonight?

[frogiturgy]

Yes.

Yes!

[It might be text-- but can you tell he's excited? Perell was grinning like a goofball. It had been far too long since he had even thought about trying to date anyone-- and he had never even tried to date a General before.

--Right. Casual. Eager, but trying not to seem too eager, Perell continued.]

I mean. I can clear my calendar.

Where would you like to meet?

[jedies]

Why not the Achelliac?

[frogiturgy]

The bathhouse in Darcmouth?

Sure!

[jedies]

Then I'll see you in the evening.

[frogiturgy]

Of course!

How shall I find you?

[jedies]

You don't think you'll recognize me from my picture?

[frogiturgy]

I think some people would buff up their photos. I know I would, and the crowded bathhouse might distract from the reality.

Very well. I'll trust you.

I'll be the gentleman with the flower in his hat.

[jedies]

I'll be sure to keep an eye out for you.

[frogiturgy]

[With that, Perell closes out the connection-- and begins his escapade of digging through his meager wardrobe for something acceptable for a... date. He didn't have much, but he was a man of distinct taste and was carefully building his supplies.

That evening, true to his word, Perell did arrive at the Achilliac. Howver, between his outfit and his hat, he was not dressed appropriately for a location historically frequented by sailors. With his wide glasses, reedy build, and oddly peppy demeanor for a man who looked like he was still rebuilding his strength after a personal crisis, it was hard to miss him.

The large koi who trailed a far enough clip behind to not get his immediate attention was also hard to miss, despite her attempts at hiding.

Stopping at the bar, Perell tipped up his hat in search of Obi-Wan-- and beamed when he caught sight of the man.]

There you are!

[He called, waving as he trotted over.]

This is my first time in this part of town. Sorry if I'm late.

[jedies]

[ obi-wan waves him over congenially, the corners of his eyes crinkling. he is not wearing his coat and robes for once, dressed casually in a white shirt and black slacks. he has some eye for fashion after all. ]

Not at all.

[ he holds his hands out. ]

[frogiturgy]

[How embarrassing. Perell momentarily felt overdressed-- and this manner of greeting was one he was unsure of. Regardless, he quickly joined the other man with a fond smile of his own.]

Thanks, [he said, lifting his hands to mirror Obi-Wan. A little guidance on this would be nice.]

This is a really neat place. You, uh, come here often?

[jedies]

[ if obi-wan notices a misstep, he doesn't bring attention to it, merely clasping the man's hand warmly. ]

Sometimes. I have a certain fondness for places like these.

[frogiturgy]

Thank goodness.

[He heaved a sigh of noticeable relief.]

That's great-- because I've no idea what's good here or not. I, uh. I've only been in town for about a month, and there's a lot to learn.
