IM with Julian: I like him, but he and Soraya said a couple of the same things to me at the same time, which leads me to believe they're in cahoots of some form.
spies1Julian (3:02:31 PM): *waves*
spies1Dawn (3:02:40 PM): Hi there.
spies1Julian (3:02:45 PM): 'allo.
spies1Dawn (3:02:49 PM): How are you?
spies1Julian (3:03:03 PM): As bloody well as can be expected, I reckon. Yourself?
spies1Dawn (3:03:18 PM): The same.
spies1Julian (3:05:43 PM): I understand from that brief sheet that was posted that you are a florist?
spies1Dawn (3:06:35 PM): I am, although the ruins have made business difficult.
spies1Dawn (3:07:39 PM): And you are a clerk in another shop, it appears.
spies1Julian (3:07:54 PM): If it still stands, yes. *laughs*
spies1Julian (3:08:03 PM): I hear that London has been particularly hard hit.
spies1Dawn (3:08:26 PM): I hear we've all been hit badly.
spies1Dawn (3:09:06 PM): I'm sorry to hear of your loss. How long ago did you move back to England?
spies1Julian (3:09:26 PM): 4 years.
spies1Julian (3:09:34 PM): A little more.
spies1Dawn (3:09:38 PM): It must still be difficult for you.
spies1Julian (3:10:19 PM): I'm no stranger to the States but yes, I do wish to get back home again.
spies1Dawn (3:11:30 PM): Understandable. I take it you no longer have contact with your ex-girlfriend.
spies1Julian (3:11:57 PM): *smiles* And I take it you found my dossier.
spies1Dawn (3:12:28 PM): It's hard to not read it when your photo is such a draw.
spies1Julian (3:12:38 PM): *blushes*
spies1Julian (3:12:52 PM): No, I haven't spoken to her since that night.
spies1Dawn (3:13:02 PM): Again, it's understandable.
spies1Julian (3:18:15 PM): How was your time in the Army Reserves?
spies1Dawn (3:19:30 PM): I actually enjoyed it, at least more than I thought I would. Getting up in the mornings for P.T. was a hassle, but I loved the company I was in and enjoyed my job.
spies1Julian (3:20:04 PM): I briefly considered joining the army.
spies1Julian (3:20:09 PM): Instead I moved.
spies1Julian (3:20:12 PM): *laughs*
spies1Dawn (3:20:26 PM): *laughs* I considered it a way to get out. So I got out.
spies1Julian (3:20:40 PM): But I do find women and firearms to be an irresistable mix. *winks*
spies1Dawn (3:21:55 PM): *blush* Well, we do command attention.
spies1Julian (3:22:05 PM): Among other things.
spies1Julian (3:22:24 PM): So have you spoken to others yet?
spies1Dawn (3:23:38 PM): I'm talking to Soraya, Sage, and Gerta also.
spies1Julian (3:24:06 PM): Oh, and here I thought I was special.
spies1Julian (3:24:09 PM):
spies1Dawn (3:25:00 PM): Aren't you?
spies1Julian (3:25:22 PM): What are your impressions
spies1Dawn (3:25:51 PM): Amusing, Soraya just asked me the same thing.
spies1Dawn (3:26:00 PM): So far, it's basic small talk.
spies1Julian (3:26:36 PM): True.
spies1Dawn (3:28:37 PM): Nothing much to comment on yet. What do you think?
spies1Julian (3:29:03 PM): Gerta seems a bit sensitive but has a clearer head on her shoulders than one would automatically think.
spies1Julian (3:29:17 PM): I do like her though.
spies1Julian (3:30:14 PM): Soraya is, how to put this, well, let's just say that I'm not so sure if still waters run deep. Not just yet.
spies1Dawn (3:30:58 PM): Gerta appeared to be a stone to me. I'm not sure.
spies1Dawn (3:31:14 PM): Soraya makes me slightly suspicious, but I'm not pointing a finger at her or anything.
spies1Julian (3:35:28 PM): Agreed.
spies1Dawn (3:36:14 PM): For someone who is supposedly an heiress with the taste for finer things, she cites the rose as her favorite flower. Trite and overdone, don't you think?
spies1Dawn (3:36:23 PM): I thought she'd go for something more exotic, myself.
spies1Julian (3:37:19 PM): Cleopatra stuffed her mattress with fresh rose petals nightly. Maybe Soraya's tastes run the same?
spies1Dawn (3:37:43 PM): This is valid.
spies1Julian (3:38:17 PM): *smiles*
spies1Dawn (3:38:55 PM): Perhaps I consider an heiress to be trendy by nature, when her tastes are likely more classic than I expect.
