All Theatrics || Elliott & Russell
@bespectaclednerd
Though he’d purchased a second date at the date auction only as a way to raise funds for the Explorer’s Guild, he certainly wasn’t going to shirk his responsibility or make it feel like an obligation. So he didn’t know this Russell man. So what? He’d get to know him. And he’d take him on a very real date, just as if it was a blind date someone else had set him up with.
They’d settled on a meeting location already - near the center of Arcadia’s town proper - and Elliott arrived ten minutes before their time, dressed in a sleek button-down and pair of trousers, the sleeves rolled up to his elbows and a vest over the shirt emphasizing his muscular frame. With his hair tied back in a neat tail at the base of his neck, he felt positively presentable.
He scanned the area, the sun already starting to set, until he caught a glimpse of the man he’d bid on approaching. Immediately all smiles, Elliott stepped away from the bench he’d been waiting near, and he extended his hand. “Russell. A pleasure to meet you again.” He tilted his head to the side, eyes sparkling. “I trust you didn’t have trouble finding me?”
