...patient guys only

[dramaticsparkles]

Will... will I find my one true love, darling Mundane? Will I ever be able to gaze upon him?

Or will I be forced to roam this beautiful world in cruel solitude~~?

Solitude.

[Wow, Bard. Way to be an asshole.]

[dramaticsparkles]

W-why would you say that?! Sir. [ Always polite, no matter what. ]

[much_rejoicing]

Because no one will take you seriously with that kind of flowery nonsense. I could practically hear the sparkles.

No, if you don't want to die alone, you're going to have to step up your game.

[dramaticsparkles]

It wasn't nonsense, it came from my heart~! I've always dreamed of meeting that special, wonderful-

[ The other male's unimpressed, rather piercing gaze silences him. ]

D-die alone?

[much_rejoicing]

[Bard shakes his head, pinching the bridge of his nose in exasperation... or at least it appears that way. In truth, he's desperately fighting off laughter.]

You sound like a maid, fondly dreaming of her handsome prince to whisk her away on his white horse and live happily ever after.

Sadly, that only happens in fairy tales. You can't just passively wish for it to happen, you have to take your destiny into your own hands. Don't wait for him to come to you, you need to go out and look for him.

You're a man, aren't you?

[dramaticsparkles]

[ Ferdinan's eyes sparkle upon hearing those words and the soft blush on his cheeks darkens. ] I-I'd like that very much... a handsome prince of my very own!

Should I begin looking for him... today? Right now? [ He glances shyly at Bard, taking in his long blonde hair and bright blue eyes. ]

O-oh yes, sir, I'm a man. [ Really! ]

[majorcrotchgrab]

Why bother with love? Lust is so much easier.

And I'm sure you can find... quite a bit of men who'd go crazy over you.

[much_rejoicing]

[Ferdie, you don't want to fall for this guy. Trust me, he's the worst.]

If you're a man, then act like one. [Really, he can't keep it up. A grin tugs at his lips and he just can't help but chuckle a bit.]

Your perfect guy's not just going to fall into your lap, figuratively speaking... Or literally, for that matter.

I need to go, will reply when I wake up~

[dramaticsparkles]

[ But he's... so pretty. How can a shallow little fop like Ferdinand ever resist? ]

...oh. How should I go about looking for him, then? He won't really fall in my lap, will he?

I need to go, will reply when I wake up~

[dramaticsparkles]

L-lust?! [ Ferdinand's face turns several shades darker inmediately and he begins to pluck at one of his puffy sleeves. Then, he peeks up at the other male out from under his blonde hair. ]

...crazy... over me?

[much_rejoicing]

[He's also an asshole and a con man.]

...You're supposed to figure that part out yourself, I'd think.

Put out a personal ad or something, I don't know.

[immortalrose]

...You sound as if you came out of a bad romance novel.

[A slight sigh escaped Augustus as he eyed this sparkly fellow.]

[quiet_gunslinger]

Being alone isn't that bad.

[Sorry. He has no skills in social things.]

[1/2]

[dramaticsparkles]

Why thank you sir, I LOVE romance novels~!

[2/2]

[dramaticsparkles]

...a bad romance novel? Why is it bad?

[dramaticsparkles]

Are you very alone? I'm... lonely as well, even though my wonderful, lovely maids and other servants keep my company.

[dramaticsparkles]

[ Ferdinand would be so easy to con that it's hardly worth doing. He smiles~ ]

Will you please help me write this... personal ad? I've written a lot of poetry but never a personal ad.

[much_rejoicing]

[Yeah, see the princely getup? He's no more a royal than a rat is, he just managed to get ahold of some fancy clothes.]

"Lonely, desperate noble seeks equally lonely and desperate Prince Charming."

...Probably best you write it yourself, actually.

[azzurrofiore]

Are you an actor?

Re: [2/2]

[immortalrose]

Because most romance novels are chock full of unrealistic expectations and poor character development between the two love struck protagonists.

[ Augustus gives the young man another glance and just sighs. ]

I take it that you're quite young.

[dramaticsparkles]

[ It's very becoming on you, though! ]

Oh dear... perhaps I should. Not that your words aren't very beautiful, but I would've added something about my many lonely evenings and- and nights, hugging my heart-shaped pillow and wishing it could be y- him. [ Gulp! ]

[dramaticsparkles]

[ Ferdinand's eyes widen. ] Unrealistic? The ones I've read seemed like they could happen to anyone!

Even- even a man like me. [ He giggles, ] I'm not very young... I'm already in my seventeenth year.

[dramaticsparkles]

No sir, I'm a Lord.

Have you always been blue?

[much_rejoicing]

[Nope, nothing escapes Bard, especially not a slip of the tongue like that.]

Wishing it could be who, now? [And we're back to trying not to crack up.]

[azzurrofiore]

Oh! My mistake. I thought you were practicing for a play...

...What a strange question. Of course I've always been this color. Have you always been peach-tinted?
