Well now. This is all hell of a thing -- ALASTAIR, savin' worlds, temporal bugs full of acid an' whatnot -- but I've got a bit of a conundrum.

I'm a man of many skills, but a cobbler? Oh, far from it. And I've a pair of boots that are a bit in need of a rescue. Suppose I could take what I've been generously given by your very fine organization, but these are a bit near an' dear to my heart.

I don't suppose any of you wondrously talented individuals could help me out? I'd be very much obliged.

Oh gosh, I'm sorry! My name's Olivia.

[ and, after a moment, the video will switch on, and she will flash a shy smile and a wave. ]

And that's me!
What's your name?

[fateality]

[He also switches on the video, letting out a chuckle before tipping his hat.]

Twisted Fate.

It's a pleasure, Olivia.

[winces]

—Oh.

[ it's a sound that should be translatable enough, regardless of the language. but she certainly does look surprised, one hand flying up to cover her mouth. ]

Oh gosh, sorry. It's just that your clothing reminded me of someone...!

[fateality]

[The reaction is an interesting one. Twisted Fate taps his chin.]

That a good thing or a bad thing?

[winces]

It is a wonderful thing! Mr. McCree is very dashing.

[fateality]

[That earns a chuckle.]

Oh, so I would also be very dashing?

[winces]

Oh, um.
Oh gosh.
I mean—
Wouldn't you already know...!?

[fateality]

I can't say I rightly know your opinion just yet.

[winces]

It isn't about my opinion if you just are...!

[fateality]

So you agree it's a fact.
Awful flattering of you.

[winces]

I should have just mentioned the beard or the hat...

[fateality]

I'm just teasing you.
You're lovely when you blush.

[winces]

[ get ready for more of it ]

You're, um. You're very kind.
But I know I just look like a bruised tomato...

[fateality]

[ain't that cute]

My dear, if all tomatoes looked like you, I'd be more inclined to keep them in my salads.

[winces]

[ she smiles in amusement, despite her embarrassment. ]

You should. Tomatoes are good for you.

[ ... ]

I mean real tomatoes, not me—!

[fateality]

Oh, but I could just eat you up.

[winces]

Please don't?!

[ her boyfriend might kill you................... ]

[fateality]

No?

[He seems to consider for a moment. Well, flirting and teasing was fun, but...

Twisted Fate shrugs, and smiles good-naturedly.]

Not a problem.
Was that too much?

[winces]

[ the smile she gives him next is grateful, and though the blush doesn't disappear, she does look... a bit more relaxed. ]

Sorry... I'm just not really used to — that.

[ attention. no matter how many times someone implies anything favorable about her, she never truly knows how to deal with it. especially with someone she has just met, and wants to make a good impression on. ]

[fateality]

No need the apologize.
I could help get you used to it, but not if it's making you uncomfortable. Just know that I couldn't be the first person to think you're lovely.

[winces]

[ no no she can't think about that, EVEN WITH A BOYFRIEND???, she still shudders at such a thought... because! why! would anyone..!!

so instead, she will just focus on that offer of his, eyes widening a fraction. ]

You could...?
As in — lessons?

[ okay but olivia loves learning new things, don't tease her. ]

[fateality]

I don't see why not.
It'll be easier when we can understand each other, though. Pretty words are nice, but how they're said especially in person can mean a lot.

[winces]

Oh—!
I would be very grateful if you could teach me in this...!
