My Perfect Evening

[wecanhanglater]

I'm not a long-term guy. I admit that, most people don't seem to have a problem with it. I like... finding somebody who I share a connection with. In a brief instant, there's this universe of possibility - life, love, eternity, all that stuff that Mom always said I'd find if I'd just settle down. And it's exhilirating

You're an arrogant one, aren't you?

[wecanhanglater]

Arrogant? No. Just looking for a little excitement.

[consort]

But the girl has to prove she is worth your effort?

[e_rayne]

People only see what they want to, don't they?

They have to be worth the effort, and he has to convince them. Honestly.

[consort]

I caught that part, too... I was just more interested in the first part.

There more here than meets the eye, Ethan dear...

By the way, I was wondering if you had time within the next couple of days, before the wedding, to get together and talk...

[e_rayne]

They are both equal, in the long run.

And there always is.

*shrugs* Sure, tonight alright?

[consort]

Of course..

I, well...

By the way, PArker? I'm Dawn. Dawn Summers. *smiles sweetly* Do the words "PArker Bad" make you uncomfortable at all?

Ethan: I'll be there, thank you.

[e_rayne]

Drop by whenever you like. Here's the business card for my shop.

[wecanhanglater]

Uncomfortable... in a good way. *winning smile*

Dawn Summers, huh? Great name.

[consort]

I didn't used to think so, but my sister convinced me that it was pretty.

[wecanhanglater]

Sister, huh? Well, she was right.

[consort]

Yeah, sister. Buffy.

[wecanhanglater]

Buffy?

Oh, Buffy SUMMERS. That's your sister? Geez. I haven't seen her since... my last concussion.

I'm sorry things never really worked out between she and I, but not every ship sails, I guess.

Heh. Buffy. Weird.

[consort]

*laughs* There was nothing to work out, Parker... You never meant it to be more than it was.

Listen, if I were here to lecture you, it would be mor along the lines of saying you need to find a way to make it more clear to your girls that you aren't looking for a future.

But actually, I was just sort of curious to meet you. I know you caught my sister at a low point in her life, but still... she's normally rather specific with her tastes.

I've always wondered what about you interested her at all.

[wecanhanglater]

I really can't say what it is about me that women like. I'd say the personality, but for all I know, it's the strong, masculine eyebrows.

She found something in me that connected. That's all human relationships really are - little connections made here and there. Some are more lasting than others. I don't know what else to tell you.

[consort]

*smiles* Actually, I was more thinking along the lines of meeting you and seeing if it was somthing I could figure out on my own.
