[Magnus can thank Cisco for Dorian even knowing exactly how to find him on the network and send him a text.]

Good afternoon, Magnus. I'm not certain whether or not you've noticed the formal ball being held by our lovely governors, but be that as it may, I was wondering if you may be interested in attending.
Together, that is. Or concurrent, at the very least.
I trust you're capable of formal attire.
That was unworthy. Forgive me.
I won't be hurt if you choose to decline.

[ohhmrburnsides]

Hey, haven't seen you in a minute! I kinda knew about it but I didn't have any plans.
...But I guess if you're asking me to go with you, then I do now. ;)
I know I don't seem like a fancy dress kind of guy, but I can clean up.

[Oh, he used one of those...what had Cisco called them? Emoticons? This one at least seemed to be smiling. That was good, right? He hadn't expected Magnus to say yes,
even though Taako had said he would if he'd asked. This was awful. of course, most of Dorian's stance on the matter was simply because he felt he was doing this terribly,
and he hated doing things poorly.

Still, he's never asked anyone out before. Where he comes from, things between men are just physical. It just...isn't allowed to be something more. Here, well, he's seen quite a bit of happiness for people like him. Is he hoping Magnus could be something more?
No. He isn't allowing himself to think anything like that, but enjoying pleasant company and not needing to hide? That was worth entertaining. Anything else was too dangerous to hope for.

There's a delay before he responds.]

Good. I should hope Taako had some sort of positive influence on you.

[Sometimes text is annoying because it was difficult to convey sarcasm. Ah, but wait! That's the point of emoticons! Only he has no idea which to use in this situation. Damn.]

That was a joke. Taako's sense of fashion is uniquely him. I'm certain you have your own.

Shall we meet there, then?

[ohhmrburnsides]

[The technology barrier is something Magnus has had to go through as well, so he can see Dorian's struggle with it. But as for Dorian's other internal struggle, Magnus has no clue. Maybe he'll come to understand it if things keep going well between them.]

Has Taako been talking shit? (That was a joke, too.)
For real though, once upon a time I couldn't dress myself for shit, so knowing Taako has definitely upped my fashion game. You made the right assumption there. But I definitely have my own style.

Sure thing! I'm looking forward to it!

[tevinteraltus]

I believe Taako is one of those people who always serves their conversations with a side of nug-shit. It's endearing, in a way that is also infuriating. (I believe I'm getting the hang of this).

Yes, well, some are born great. Some have greatness thrust upon them. Others seem to catch it, rather like a plague, only of complimentary fabrics rather than seeping pustules.

[And there's a brief pause before the next line.]

Yes, as am I.
