Ophelia gave a happy, almost childlike in innocence, laugh at his comment. A tongue touched smile stayed, naively feeling pleased that she had a client that was recognising something the others hadn’t, and seemingly intended to be gentle with her. She’d grown to understand destruction of innocence was a thing for some, and it could single her out for the more unpleasant evenings. She took his arm with no lingering doubt over his character, and no worries for the next part of the evening.
Things in the car had been easy, and he was making a surprising amount of effort considering she was a sure thing. Ophelia appreciated it, to the point that she could so easily pretend that this was a proper date and actually enjoy herself. “I haven’t, no.” She responded, looking around the hotel that was far too fancy for her to ever afford. “It’s breathtaking though, I can see why you like it.” Everything looked so ornate, she didn’t want to touch a thing lest she break it. “Do you stay here often?”
“Fantastic then, I can show you around.” He smiled. At this rate, she was probably wondering why the hell he needed to hire a date and was fearing the worst. Dimitri was good-looking, rich, charming -- something had to be wrong with him. The worry would hopefully be put at east when she started having a good time. “ I do, actually -- when I first arrived here I was somewhat of a resident until I found a place of my own.” He admits as the wander deeper in. “I’m afraid that the luxury of this place was like no other -- it called to me as I enjoy my creature comforts decadently. It reminds me almost of a casino I visited in Monaco -- charming place.” He bragged slightly, but it was less to impress and more about a fond memory for him.
“Would you like to wander around the casino floor a bit? I can’t say much for my skills as a poker player , nor yours, but I’ve heard it’s good fun to gamble with someone else’s money.” He chuckled. “ Unless you’re famished and would rather get some dinner first? The choice is yours, my dear.”
