[After a moment there is a new notice, this time the girl speaks in a cheerful voice]
Hello! This is Himawari. If you have a question about the city or wish to have some assistance looking up jobs or places for rent, please leave me a message and I will get back to you as soon as possible!

[There was something just so ungentlemanly about phone-usage, especially when it came to things like this. He felt like an awkward teenager at that moment and forced his larynx to relax, lest he give way to that pubescent squeak he had in those days and spent the majority of his puberty in monk-like silence to hide it. Ahem'ing into his fist, he straightened up as if he were right in front of her and postulated in the most virile manner he could muster.]

Himawari, would you like to go to the Masquerade with [This stupid idiot.] me?

[It was so super rare when anything would actually ask her out. She had a few boys ask her out in school, once or twice, but she always backed out of it because of... things. After one too many back outs, most people just thought she was a snob.]

[Thus as she heard him sound proper for a moment ... asking her out she couldn't help but press a hand over her mouth to hide the giggle. It was rude to giggle at a moment like that... but she felt a bit giddy none the less.]

[Settling down, she was smiling grandly and spoke in her most polite but merry voice]

I would be delighted to go with you the the Masquerade, Will.

[Suddenly the birds were singing and heaven opened up. He lifted his brows thoroughly expecting outright rejection with his face smeared on the floor. Even in his rational mind, he knew she was far too kind for such a thing, but his perpetual self-doubt wouldn't allow him to think anything other than the worst possible outcome.

It was all the world had ever shown him, even when he was doing what he was was sworn to as a favor to the world.

He could almost laugh, if his tangled tongue would let him.]

Ahh, th.. that's great!

[It was the first time, in what felt like ages, that his tone rose with elation. The sound itself was almost foreign coming out of his mouth that he wasn't all-together sure it was his voice or not.]

I can come pick you up around 5:30? It starts at 6:00pm.

[ It wasn't even that she was too kind. Even when Watanuki asked her to do something she would say yes if she wanted to do it... but she would always find a way out of that. Now a days she had found polite excuses to get out of things she didn't want to do. Here? She meant it and intended to go. There would be no weaseling out of it. With age she had gotten better about these things.]

[The sound of his voice made her smile more, glad to hear such a tone from him. Perhaps this would do him as well as her some good.]

I'll be sure to be ready by five then. [to which she proves that a lady can be ready on time....even when her hair is oh so very long!] Do... you know what you might be wearing? [.......yes, she was already planning.]

It's a...

[Graham looked over that newly tailored and pressed outfit that hung in his open closet. It reminded him of the classic wears of the 19th century illusionists. Lecter suggested to top it off with a top-hat and rabbit, but Graham ... politely declined.]

Kind of a black Victorian get-up. A tail-coat with a mask, nothing too crazy.

[The first suggestion had been a Dragon Slayer, to which Graham was hardly amused by.]

[She was leaning back now, considering some of the dresses she had been eyeing before. A masquerade isn't really costumey but more fancy and fun. She was sure she could find something worth while, and his tail coat and mask, as he put it, seemed simple enough.]

It sounds perfect. I look forward to seeing it! [Black, also, would be easy to match, so she was even more free to pick something well suited] I... I look forward to the masquerade as well. Thank you.

[eidetic-graham.livejournal.com]

No.. really, thank you. It'll..

It'll be neat to do something out of the norm.

[This was so out of his comfort zone, but it was a step forward in a direction he was hoping was the right one. Lecter had only steered him wrong on one occasion ... one that should have trumped all the others, but his gut told him he could deal with the outcome of this, for better or worse.]

I'll see you tomorrow, have sweet dreams, Himawari.

It should be a lot of fun. [she agreed, smiling grandly in reply to everything. She would not be able to sleep tonight, that was for sure. Her thoughts would wander to far too many places and wouldn't let her rest. She already knew that would happen. Still, she didn't mind now.]

Have a good night, Will, and sleep sweet. [she replied back, a soft chuckle in her voice, amused or happy, or both. This kind of just made her night is all.]
