Have you taken a look at yourself in the mirror?

[ Do they need to take him to Dorian's full-length mirror.. because he will. People will be envious of him dangling off Bull's arm. ]

[ He smirks, shaking his head. ]

Once or twice, sure, and I'm dead sexy. I never argued that point.

[ He begins directing the two of them toward the shuttle, though. ]

Tell you what, big guy. You can drive your point home all night long, but we're going to miss dinner if we don't get down there.

Dinner?

[ Dorian's expression flicks briefly to one of surprise. Disbelief, even. Dinner out with friends was one thing, but being seen in public with another man, clearly on a date? No one has ever.. He covers the disbelief with a suave and carefree smile. ]

I'll see to it that my point is thoroughly undebatable.

[theirondragon]

Yeah. [ He caught that, Dorian, but he's not going to point it out. That would ruin the evening. ]

Hey, what'd I tell you last time? I'd get you a present, right?

[fantachetic]

I assume dinner is the present?

[ Because there couldn't possibly be more. Bull was already taking him to the theater, too. Anything else seems like a bit much. ]

[ Bull smiles, but shakes his head slightly.]

Nope. If you think about what we were talking about, you'd get what the present is.

[fantachetic]

We talked about a great many things, Bull. If it is what I think, then I'm flattered.

[ He smirks as he pulls the door to the shuttle closed. ]

Yeah? What do you think it is?

[ Dorian settles into his seat, scrutinizing Bull's face. ]

I see you're wearing the shade we discussed.

[ He smiles, nodding as he sets in their destination. ]

Yeah. Glad I asked about the time of day shit, though.

[ Cool. So the after-party rope will still be a surprise. ]

I wouldn't have held it against you, had you not been informed. There are far worse crimes of fashion around here.

[ It's very sweet that Bull did remember and took everything to heart. He's not used to people listening to what he says too deeply. ]

[theirondragon]

[ He's worn more than a few of them. ]

Yeah, but it's an easy thing to get right, you know?

[ And it proves I care about what you think. ]

[ BULL, YOU ARE THE MAIN OFFENDER. ]

I suppose it is, yes.

[ Dorian Greatly Approves. ]

[ He likes his pants, Dorian! ]

Okay, so. There's this place where there were theater tickets that include a pre-show dinner. So, that's what's going on.

[fantachetic]

[ They're an abomination and must be stopped and you know it! ]

I can't remember the last time I went to dinner and a show. That was very.. thoughtful, thank you.

[theirondragon]

Me and the boys don't get out to the theater often.

[ He smiles. ]

Besides. We do most of our work in Orlais...and nobody but Orlesians want Orleasian theater. So...hopefully this isn't like that.

[fantachetic]

Maker, you're right about that. I certainly hope it's nothing of the sort, I haven't imbibed enough alcohol for that.

[theirondragon]

I know, right? [ He shakes his head. ] The masks the...weird interpretive dance. But hey, dinner's first, so we can prepare.

[fantachetic]

There's no subtlety in Orlesian theater, not with whatever it is they're trying to get across.

So where is dinner, exactly? [ Should he have brought his emergency spices? ]

[theirondragon]

A place that does a lot of fish, it's just next door to the theater.

[ He shrugs. ]

It smelled good when I went by.

[fantachetic]

I'm certainly willing to give it a try.

[ He is all dressed up, after all. ]

[theirondragon]

...you don't hate fish, do you?

[fantachetic]

Bull. I grew up on the coast, of course I like fish.

[theirondragon]

Right. [ He nods, easily covering up his momentary uncertainty with a laugh. ]

Well, there were a couple options with the tickets, but I haven't had good fish in a long time.

[fantachetic]

Oh, neither have I. I believe it's been about four or five months? Possibly more. There was a passable restaurant on the beach of one of the previous planets.
