Who: Cyril and OPEN
Broadcast: Networkwide - Video
Action: Wonderduck
When: Afternoon
One of the strange things about being in a new reality, I've come to realize, comes down to grasping social norms. They aren't the exact same here as they were on Thedas, and each one of us brings our own world with us when we interact with one another. My 'I think you're gorgeous and funny and would love to get you know better' might be read as your 'I'm only thinking about your body.'
It's hard enough navigating the subtlety there without adding to the mix different a world's views on sex and relationships.
That means research and asking questions. Or at least it does if you're me, I suppose.
I explain all of that simply so you understand how it is that recently I discovered a concept called 'pick up lines.' From what I've learned, they are terrible and awkward. Of course this means that I adore them.
Hit me with your best shot, friends. Give me your favorite pick up lines. I need to hear them all.

You've been taking these 'pick up lines' a bit too much to heart.

You're right. I'm awful. I'm sorry to subject you to such low brow humor.

[The emphasis on the "you" is meant to mean that he wants to get to know this Dorian, not have the idea in his head of who the Dorian is back home but it could also be taken as flirting. Almost everything he says to Dorian has an underlining flirt in it anyway.]

[ Of course he's going to flirt back, but there's an opening for Cyril to simply extend friendly olive branch instead. ]

Oh? Well, perhaps I should go find a good bottle right now?
[He says it before he can doubt himself, but honestly once it's said he doesn't want to pull it back.]

[ Dorian smile is pleased, and absolutely flirtatious. Why wouldn't he be? ]

[And he is going now so he can see about getting that wine.]
