[ ... ]

By getting me something new to wear...?

[ he's just a simple guy with simple needs, my man. he's flattered, but everyone knows you say all that to anyone with a pulse, or so gebura says. ]

[unrequite]

[ Midnight puts the clothing back on the table, or more like slams it down, because he's laughing far too hard to focus on idle browsing at the moment. Mr. Roland, you are so cute. ]

Is that enough, then? One tie per day for the cultivation of your self-esteem? Please...

[ That's so funny. Geez... Midnight looks at Mr. Roland, sighing out his last laugh. A simple guy with simple needs, indeed. ]

[gradenine]

Yeah! Like, come on. Not even my wife asked for more than that. You just gotta lower your standards a little, is all.

[ HE'S SO EASY TO PLEASE, PLEASE... ]

[unrequite]

You're married?

[ Ah. Well, he doesn't make a habit of hitting on spouses, unless, uh... Well, unless the spouse in question makes it very clear that the relationship is on the downturn. Not uncommon. (Or, uh... Well, he isn't opposed to being a third in a relationship, but that is DEFINITELY offtopic...) ]

Well, I certainly hope she has high standards. She deserves lovely things.

[gradenine]

Yeah, I was. She's... not around anymore.

[ so yeah, don't worry about it. he's already lost his shit over it recently in the vaults, and he's sooo not in the mood to dwell too hard into it right now. waves hand, waves hand. ]

I'd say she has high standards, sure. I mean, just because I'm not the type to stick out doesn't mean I'm no diamond in the rough if you look hard enough, no?

[ does the checkmark under his chin thing like the icon over there LOOK... ]

[unrequite]

Hm. I'm sorry, then.

[ It rarely needs much more than that. He finds that whether the bereaved are forthcoming about the experience or wouldn't like to discuss the matter at all, treating it like a normal part of the discussion is best for everyone. It'll happen if it's important for it to happen, eventually. For now...

Midnight grins. Not the type to stick out, huh? ]

Oh, you're talking to the wrong man if you're looking for an unbiased opinion on that. [ He begins folding the slacks his hands neatly before returning it to the display. ] While it's true that some find it difficult to stand out, I find that personality contributes more to that than any one particular look. Or, well... It's a combination of the two.
