You've reached Chris Sonom, previously of Melvaunt Deismyr, please leave a message.
I'll take your word for it.
[He certainly wouldn't know, but it made him chuckle all the same.]
That's likely good for both of you, really. My first contract was never one of sex or even romance, we were simply partners and I had no complaints for it. Having friends is just as important as anything else here.
[He hesitates, debates offering a little more insight...but decides quickly that isn't his context to offer for Hawke.]
Any other burning questions to mind?

We got it worked out.

We'll probably have sex, especially if they keep springing this extra quota bullshit on us. It doesn't preclude being friends at all.
[She's not going to mention that they already have. It felt out of character to her to get carried away like that in public of all places, and there's a weird component about enjoying jellyfish that much that's unsettling. Not something to discuss with someone she barely knows.]
Not really. I like to keep things pretty simple. As long as I feel safe and know he's a responsible sort and not a deadbeat, I feel like we'll make good partners in this.

[ the letter comes delivered the morning of the twelfth, with a little package taped to it, messily wrapped. inside is a bracelet with a small stone such a dark, deep green that it almost looks black, looped onto a long leather cord. the letter is a messy scrawl, as much as he's tried to keep it tidy, and the handwriting skips around in size and pen colour, as if he sat down over several sessions to write it. ]
Dearest darling Chris,
I don't know why I'm writing this honestly, I don't even like birthday cards that much. It always seemed a bit of a pointless step everyone goes through, no one cares about the cards but we have to pretend because it's polite, like why does everyone bother? I don't know. Tradition probably. Anyway this isn't a card so there's that. I thought you might like it, all ye olde and stuff. I'm not even typing it! So you know sorry if you can't read anything.
Most of the time I think I'm going to be stuck here forever so this is kind of pointless, but like there's a chance I might not be, right? I don't want to leave nothing behind, it kind of sucks. I want there to be something that like someone can look at it and say "yeah, that was Nick". Ragnor wrote me a letter once and it was the best thing ever, so here's one for you. You're in the other room while I'm writing this, I hope you don't come into the lab. It's supposed to be a surprise or something. It doesn't really have to be a surprise I guess, it just feels private. I don't want to like look you in your eyes and tell you I'm writing you a letter, that's so embarrassing. Especially not when I get to the part where I talk about how much I like you, because I do. You know too much about me for me not to, now. (That's a joke, it's hard to tell in a letter :( )
I'm not always an easy person to care about and you do it anyway, and you do it well. I love when you tolerate the critters climbing you even though I know you don't like them that much, and how you tell me off for sitting on the counters even though we both know you're going to let me sit there anyway. I like that you tell me when I'm being stupid and when I'm not, and how you always listen even though I'm shit at actually talking. I like the way your eyes look when we've got candles around the place and they catch the flicker of the light, and the way your hair curls when it's growing out, and the way your face looks when you don't think anyone is watching.
I don't know how I feel about birthdays anymore and they're kind of pointless here probably, so I'm not going to make a big old thing for yours but I still wanted you to have something, so like here you go. The bracelet is just a silly little gimmick, really. I've got a matching stone, if you want to talk or get my attention or anything like that, just hold it and think of me, I'll feel it on my end. We can't chat through them I can't do those spells for shit and I wanted this to be my magic, but when you want me to know you're thinking about me, I'll know. You're a good friend, and I love you a whole lot, and I want you to know. And if I ever disappear or whatever, you'll have proof too. So there's that.
If you like this enough I might even write you another, keep you up to date on all the boring shit in my life I forget to talk about at work, that sort of thing. It's kind of fun.
Happy birthday, Chris.
Nick x

flattery that compliments both will get you most places
don’t think the rum cake on me will add much

I don't know if you've been told this today, but you're brilliant.
And those flavors are wonderful, I'll do my best not to abuse the trust you've put in me for trying them first.
[Luckily, his sweet tooth was a small thing and he's got wisdom enough not to actually abuse the chocolates, even if it can be tempting some days.]

Of course not. On that front, I'm sure he'll be delightful as well.
[That hadn't quite been what he meant, but he could see where it sounded like that. It was fine, it didn't need more explanation or clarification, really.]
Honestly, sounds like it'll be a good match, so I hope it works for you both.
A pleasure meeting you, Mrs. Maisel, hopefully we'll know each other better, in time.

Respecting you is more important than quota.
He's my best friend, I'll still kick his ass if he can't pull his head from it.
But I'm glad you did.
You should come to the Arena fights with us.

If you can't tell someone to get the head out of their ass, you aren't friends at all.
Why should I come to the Arena fights?

so what you're saying is that the way to your heart is actually through your stomach
