[b][color=orchid]Interactions:[/color][/b] [@dreamingflowers] Nur

His delightful new friend, so spirited and playful just moments before, was so defeated now. It was difficult to behold, such a beautiful thing so down on herself. Aiko let Nur sit first, placing himself next to her and watching her fuss, oh, it was heartbreaking. He glanced at the cat callers, usually a good thing to find for their kind but now was the wrong moment. "[color=orchid]Darling, you're gorgeous. Anyone who couldn't appreciate that is blind.[/color]"

She didn't want to play right now, her game, his game, anything. She was checking herself over as though she were worried she'd fall apart. Poor dear. She asked him for a drink and he smiled warmly, "[color=orchid]we'll get you fixed right up, Nur.[/color]" He flagged the barkeep down and set a bit of money on the counter, "[color=orchid]whatever the lady wants, and I'll take the same.[/color]"

Now, this was a trick to pull, here. There were, he could see, a few couples at the bar. Ah, but which one? Hmm... He'd have to get closer to get a read on them. "[color=orchid]One moment.[/color]" He rose and crossed behind the bar, brushing his tails against the couples as he passed them, on his way to the restroom.

He hid himself in the stall in the restroom and got comfy, before focusing his mind. He projected himself out to listen, for a moment, to the minds he'd just touched. The first couple... No, the guy was into it but the woman wasn't. The second couple was, he realized, a couple of gay dudes. Great for him, but not for Nur. The third, however, seemed more open to the suggestion. It might take a bit of doing, but it was worth a shot to convince them.

He washed his hands and stepped back into the main room, stepping up to the couple in question and lightly touching their shoulders, grazing their necks with his thumb, "[color=orchid]excuse me, this may be sudden, my dear friend and I were wondering if you'd like to go on a double date with us?[/color]"

They hesitated for a moment, looked at each other. Each seeing the other so relaxed, they agreed.

Aiko led the couple back to Nur's seat at the bar, letting the male sit next to his friend, "[color=orchid]they were interested in a double date with us, isn't that wonderful?[/color]"
