Message: <blockquote data-quote="Rystil Arden" data-source="post: 3893098" data-attributes="member: 29014">(OOC: And...we're...back!)"Well, since I don't know that I've ever met a man who could match me on the dance floor, I suspect you may be right.  Of course, that's all right, since a well-mannered gentleman knows not to show up his lady at dancing anyway--his job is to make her look good.  Frankly, a man who was the more graceful dancer might have me worrying...Still, I am willing to be pleasantly surprised and impressed," Elise smiles, "So Gabriel, what do you do when you're not Musketeering?  What's the most amazing thing you've ever seen in your travels on or off duty?  Do you have a sweetheart waiting for you at home?""Well, the naturalist and scholar Chalais Durin has made a claim that all creatures in our world have gained their unique abilities by selecting only the best, like the breeding of dogs.  The way I see it, the men try to pass their bloodline onward to all the women they can find, so it must be us women of each species who help select for the best by being choosy with our mates.""Oh, I'm sure you'll manage Gaby.  After all, wining with a fine vintage can bear grapes for the bruised and lonely heart, and as you so clearly understand, whining, on the other hand, is a fruitless endeavour.  Now then, I shall have to think of something more clever to try later this evening.  I still haven't gotten a good enough reaction yet tonight.  The trouble is when they start predicting mischief, I suppose.  That's why new blood is such delicious virgin soil for a friendly jest.""Gabriel, my friend, it is a mere statement of fact.  You must be confident and unafraid to show that confidence.  Don't you agree, Elise, ma cherie?""But of course.  There's nothing more attractive than a confident man."</blockquote>
