Action - Just before the event

[personal profile] searchingforlove 2019-09-26 07:39 am (UTC)(link)
[Manuela has been preparing her new place to be suitable to her needs and that's meant picking up the essentials. Today it's groceries. Honestly she's not sure about some of the things they offer here, far more used to only the freshest of ingredients. Still, she's found plenty to work with.

However, the last thing she's expecting is to turn a corner and nearly run into someone. A gasp escapes her but she manages to not lose the things in the bag that she's carrying, adjusting them on her hip as she looks to see who it is.]


Really I...

[Has she been about to scold him? Scold herself? It's impossible to tell because once she sees a handsome man she changes her tune and blinks before offering a smile.]

Oh. You'll have to excuse me. I wasn't expecting my day to end with running into someone handsome.

[Something that almost starts off with tension quickly melts into Manuela giving him a sly little smile. Because the bristling quickly dies away when she gets that reaction out of him. Given the fact that he's possibly closer to her age, it's remarkably endearing actually. It takes her a moment to just enjoy it before she speaks again.]

Were you in a hurry? You almost seemed like you were in a rush.

[Not at all really but she does want to test the waters to see if she can get him to stick around longer. To get a feel for him.

Because she knows she'd love to have another kind of feel but that's another story entirely.]

[Oh. Well someone can be a little charming once he recovers. Manuela blinks twice before her smile returns. She can't say she's displeased by the discovery. Far, far, far from it.]

Well, I certainly wouldn't turn down the opportunity if you are finding yourself no longer in a hurry.

[Because, um, yes. Of course she wants to talk to the handsome man before her.]

[She has to adjust the bag she's carrying. It's quite filled with purchases but she manages it so she can take his hand.]

Manuela. The pleasure is mine, Valmont.

[How could it not be? He's handsome and charming when he remembers he can be.]

Where were you in such a hurry to? I must say that I'm curious.

[Miss? Points in his favor there. Though she did lift her brow at the part about having to do their own shopping.]

I'm afraid that you mistake me for someone of noble birth, Valmont. I was born common folk and had to fight my way to the status I have now as a celebrated former diva of the stage.

[All the flirting aside, she simply can't let that one slide.]

Is that a problem?

And what have we done to earn special treatment like servants to do our grocery shopping for us? Especially for people who lived here before us. We may be unique but we are still welcomed guests in their home. They don't serve us.

[Apparently that is also the wrong thing to have said to her and she is going to let him know that.]

Maybe it's time for you to learn to do these things so you can understand the hard work that they put in where you come from.

[She's being polite for now. But she does have to give that bit of sass.]

Christmas Delivery

[personal profile] searchingforlove 2019-12-27 07:05 am (UTC)(link)
[On Christmas Valmont will get a basket delivered to him with freshly baked goods as well as a special gift just for him.]

Dear Valmont,

I know you are still denying what you enjoy with me. If you feel you want to try believing me then wear this the next time we meet. If not, well, you can always be rid of it, dear.

Until next we meet,

Manuela

right after that invitation

[Well, someone's looking forward to this. Valmont is...interesting, he has to say, and he isn't going to say no to a nice dinner, anyways. He's dressed up for this in his dress jacket and collared shirt along with dark dress pants, though internally he would've preferred to go more casual - ah, well, it seems like a nice place, and Valmont seems the type of guy to appreciate dressing up.]

[He enters, scans the room for the man - and then wanders over when he does, giving him a smile.]


Right on time. It's a nice place.

[personal profile] graftage 2020-04-06 04:23 am (UTC)(link)
Haha, what do you think I would've done? Dressed in overalls?

[He smirks at that, taking the chair as indicated. Valmont is an interesting man. A bit snide, maybe, for his tastes, but sharp, too. He likes sharp people.]

[He sort of unintentionally collects them, like knives.]


So, Mr. Valmont. What do you want to talk about, then? I'm all ears.
graftage: (Default)

[personal profile] graftage 2020-04-06 09:23 pm (UTC)(link)
Flattery will get you nowhere, Mr. Valmont.

[But its flattery he'll accept. His eyes turn up with his smile at the question - get to know him better? Well, he could just tell him about his sordid past, about the blood he's spilled, that sort of thing...but that wasn't something to just unload on anyone. He has still yet to know what Valmont is about, after all.]

Haha, nope. I'm from a large family in California. We own a huge farm there, so I've grown up working on the land. Crops, livestock, you name it, I know it. I'm the type of guy who likes to get his hands in the dirt.
graftage: (the pearl)

[personal profile] graftage 2020-04-10 03:09 pm (UTC)(link)
Maybe you should.

[He says, cooly.]

[San Francisco, huh? So a city man. He looks the type, for sure, and the England part doesn't surprise him either.]


I actually have once or twice on business trips, though I do a lot of work at home. Which part do you come from? London, I guess?
graftage: (to a god unknown)

[personal profile] graftage 2020-04-11 02:14 pm (UTC)(link)
Oooh, born and bred, huh? [He leans his cheek against his hand.] Why don't you live there, then? Stuff to do in California?

[The question makes his eyes narrow a little.]

Maybe it is. [He laughs - it sounds like bells ringing, bright and light.] What do you think?
graftage: (cannery row)

[personal profile] graftage 2020-04-12 01:59 pm (UTC)(link)
What, San Francisco causing trouble for you?

[He vaguely wonders what sort of business this man might be in. Perhaps just business- the arrogance smacks of it, a little - but he thinks its more than that.]

You really are trying to butter me up, huh. [He's not offended - in fact, he laughs again.] There's this capitalist who helps to fund my family's farm. As part of the deal, he wants me to travel with him and do certain odd jobs here and there. Nothing major.
