BLAIR :
“Oh, don’t thank me, Cardinal. it should be me thanking you! you are quite a busy man and you took time out of your day to meet with me” Blair said with a smile. his fingers tapped the steering wheel to the rhythm of the song. “…well, as I am your personal tailor, I was thinking this would be a nice chance to get to know each other more. this also is a nice change of scenery for once” he chuckled.
after the song had ended, Blair looked beside him at the center console. “if you would like, you can look through my cassettes and pick one out, I have quite a wide selection in there” his head jutted, signaling to the console. not taking his eyes off the road, he popped out the Nine Inch Nails cassette, putting it back in the case, then opened the console and tossed it in.
“So, Cardi, What kind of food were you looking forward to?”
Might as well go along with the offer at hand. The Cardinal meticulously thumbed through Blair’s cassettes, recognising most titles. He liked to take his time with things and make an executive decision regarding anything and everything no matter how mundane; Because once he makes up his mind, that’s it. His precision is insight into the man at heart. He settles on a plain black & purple distressed looking case that reads Electric Wizard.
❛ Cardi? ❜ He flashed Blair a sidelong smirk. A peculiar moniker. But he’s heard it before, and it bothered him nought. ❛ Ehh, uhh, hmm. ❜ Here he goes with the aforementioned decision-making. Italian, no. He fancied something out of the ordinary. Russian? No, too salty and even the damn vodka is pickled. ❛ Does French sounds good to you? Because that sounds good to me. ❜ Red wine . . . Bread . . . Yeah, Copia, so very different to Italian. He’s not going to point out the irony to himself.
❛ And no, no. Please —— don’t thank me. It’s an opportunity I don’t often have, ❜ he waves his hand to show diffidence. ❛ I agree that it’s good to acquaint yourself with those that frequent your everyday environment. ❜ Who knows when you may need them to support your cause. ❛ Do you get out much? I imagine with your profession, you’re quite busy yourself. ❜
