Prom, eh?

Oh, very well.

I suppose I do deserve a bit of a reward for passing all my examinations, but honestly, as if that was even a problem to begin with. They were ridiculously easy. I cannot help the fact that I am a prodigy.

I... haven't managed to ask anyone in particular as of this moment, regarding my - erm, escort. However...

Nice suit.

[natty_boy]

Why, thank you. I like to think so, too.

If they offered a course for understanding sarcasm, I'd insist that you be the first to sign up.

[natty_boy]

I am quite familiar with sarcasm, thank you. I utilise it often enough; in this case, I simply chose to ignore it. I am not so dense as to be oblivious to the blatant dryness to your tone.

This 'prom' seems as though it is an important formative experience for young adults in this society. I am glad to hear you will be going.

[natty_boy]

Oh, I might as well. What else is there to do? Surely you do not suggest studying, sir? Examinations are quite finished.

[i_am_ptolemy]

Certainly not. I do not doubt that you have worked hard this semester or, barring that, that you have earned outstanding marks, and for that, you are most welcome to a break.

I was simply glad to see you have decided to go. I hope you enjoy yourself.

[natty_boy]

Thank you, sir. I'm glad to know that my endeavours did not go unnoticed. Though I didn't have to try, really.

I may, or may not, situation depending. ...Sir, you've not seen Kitty Jones about, have you?

You make it sound like such a chore.
