Cecelia:

I was wondering - if you don't already have plans, might I have the honor of escorting you to the HeliX Formal? If you do, that's fine, but if you don't, I'd like to go with you.

Salaam.

Haroun,

Why on Earth would you want to take me? I'm not socially adept, I can't dance, I don't like people in general, and I made Hank give you your backrub after you made plaintive eyes at me for one. You're either the silliest man in the entire house, Haroun, or just the most stubborn. ;)

On a more serious note, though.. I'm flattered that you've asked. Really, I am. And I'll owe you a dance, at the very least, since I'm in no danger of breaking your toes with my lack of coordination.. but I already have an escort. Or, well, not an escort so much as someone to hide behind until the big scary social event I don't really want to go to in the first place is all over, but.. same difference, really, in the end.

Do find me for that dance, though. I'll try not to humiliate us too badly.

C. Reyes

PS: It's Cecilia. One 'e', two 'i's. ;)

Sure.

This is me committing seppuku over here in the corner. See? Seppuku.

Blasted typo. Got you in autocorrect now, so I won't be making _that_ mistake again.

And I asked you because I like you. You're pretty, you're smart, you're black, and I thought it would be a lot of fun.

But if you've already got an escort, then I will definitely look you up to claim that dance. Provided that I survive committing seppuku, and that I find a substitute to be my escort.

There's no way I'm going to go solo to this thing. Hrm.

Salaam,
Haroun

No seppuku. Seppuku is bad.

Pretty, smart, and black, I can admit to. But fun? You haven't been paying very much attention, have you? I'm not a fun person. My bedside manner isn't even all that good!

Just to prove it, a very large part of me is resisting the urge to suggest you escort Paul's sister, because as amusing as it could potentially be..? No. Just no. But, let's see, what other options do you have.. I'd suggest Maddie, but the crafty bitch already got herself someone to take her..

What about Alison?

I've been told that I'm quite possibly insane

But then again, the person who told me that also tried to light me on fire, so what does _that_ say about _him_?

And it would be fun. I firmly believe that if you gave yourself a half-chance you would have far more fun in your life without compromising your goals.

Alison, eh? I would have thought she would take my favorite plowshare, but I suppose it cannot hurt to ask, can it?

Unless I spell her bloody name wrong as well.

I can only throw myself on my sword so many times, after all.

Salaam,
Haroun
