[damistrolls]

Lio bursts out in laughter.

"Ask him out? Like a lovestruck teenager?"

He eventually manages to settle himself, and wipes a tear from his eye.

"Yes, maybe several sweeps ago, that would have been the appropriate thing to do, but nowadays? Please."

He chuckled again.

"It's just not that simple, I'm afraid."

[damistrolls]

Hey mister lio 🥺 what fresh assets wouldaya say ya bring to the elderly courting downtown market? 💖😚

"The elderly courting downtown market? Love, I'm far more concerned about my work at the current moment, rather than any—" He scoffs, and then chuckles in amusement "—new romantic prospects.

I have my dear Cassia, and Madame. And I've reconnected with my old flame as well, though we're... We're not quite. Mm...

Well... you have to understand, it's been a very long time since we've been an item. He faked his death, I mourned him, I tried to move on, failed miserably. It's--

It's complicated, I suppose."

[damistrolls]

Lio is a big dilf and I want to thank him for his service

"You're welcome. It's not easy being this handsome."

[damistrolls]

Dear Epylio,

There is high hopes in that today has been fruitful for you and void of tiresome chores. Your style for design is appealing, I must applaud you for making establishments ring with an air of comforting and sleek designs. Though, I do not send this letter to you to talk all about your services or your success. I send you this letter only as an invitation to get to know you better. If it would be to your taste, I can book a reservation at a 5 star restaurant nearby should you accept. Sometimes there is no way better to befriend than over a hearty meal and a warm atmosphere.

Regardless of your answer, please send back at this address. I hope to hear from you soon.

Sincerely,

Omnius Dioxal

A letter soon found its way to Omnius. The envelope was offwhite, and had a blue wax seal with a bat design pressed onto the back. It carried the faint scent of a tasteful cologne, and Omnius's name was handwritten in practiced cursive on the front.

The letter itself read:

To Omnius, a fellow partisan of high culture,

I hope this letter finds you in good spirits. Perhaps I'm merely easily swayed by flattery, but I found your proposition far too charming to ever consider declining. It would be an absolute joy to join you for a meal sometime in the near future so that we may get to know one another better. My schedule is fairly lenient, so simply give me a time and a place at your earliest convenience, and I'll be there.

I do look forwards to speaking with someone who so clearly has an eye for style. Truly refined palates are so very hard to find in this day and age.

I anxiously await your response.

Your eager compatriot, and potential friend,

Epylio Desmod

P.S., I insist you call me Lio.

[damistrolls]

Lio you know what they say about assuming things.

And stupid don't do it just communicate effectively

"I know you only mean well, but I promise you, there isn't much room for miscommunication in this situation. I believe Ghosts and I have made our intentions with each other very clear.

It's just—as I've said many times—a tad complicated. Now please. If you could refrain from giving me advice on matters you only know bits and pieces of, I'd be very grateful."
