</div><b>Name:</b>Marcus Heidrich<br/><b>Age:</b>28<br/><b>Sexuality:</b>Heterosexual<br/><b>Hometown:</b>München, Germany<br/><b>Date/Time:</b>Monday, 5th of July, 2021, afternoon to evening.<br/><b>Location:</b>Villa bar<br/><b>Wearing:</b>Black swimming trunks<br/><b>Coupled With:</b>The loud one in the living room (Grace)<br/><b>Tagging:</b>Claire (<a class="username" data-user-id="3317" data-username="Mehlia" data-xf-init="member-tooltip" href="https://blackdahliaroleplaying.com/members/3317/">Mehlia</a>), Open.<br/><hr class="bbc-hr"/><br/><div style="text-align: justify">Marcus laughed, a bit uneasy, a bit honestly, but still, it kept his mood when Claire confirmed his ineptitude for flirting. He felt that she is hiding a lot more behind her smiles, that she was trying to get his own frequency and read him. True, Marcus had a tendency to be expressionless, but he was anything but emotionless. He traded social life for a career, replaced friends with colleagues, and in that process, he lost more connections than he gained them. His love life suffered the most. Still, bit by bit, it was returning, he was remembering steps of the dance, and he smiled toward Claire <span class="fixed-color" style="color:rgb(84, 172, 210)">"I promise to come up with a better one, if you give me the chance."</span> He offered a wave as she was departing.<br/>
<br/>
She was right, Claire that is. The air was becoming colder and the wind coming from the ocean carried that soft scent of salt. By now, Marcus expected to get used to it or to just have his nose become numb, but he still noticed it. Oddly enough, he enjoyed it. A minute after Claire left, he took all of the glasses and washed them. Maybe there was someone who would do it for them, perhaps a staff in charge of the villa, moving unseen when everyone was too preoccupied at certain locations for games, but he absolutely abhorred leaving a mess behind himself. And so, every glass was carefully washed and the counter wiped.<br/>​</div><div style="text-align: center">---​</div><div style="text-align: justify"><br/>

<br/>
Marcus' wandering was short, though not aimless. He offered a wave at those at the pool, saying precious little other than a greeting before entering the villa. Swimming trunks were ill-suited for cooler evenings, and so he went to change. Casual clothes always suited him best and he prefered them over anything formal. Given the chance, he would go for casual every time, though there were moments when he, too, needed a bit of a boost in confidence and wore a suit. Today was not that day, and so, he opted for a simple, long-sleeved shirt, a pair of jeans and white shoes. This felt good. It felt right!<br/>
<br/>
Still, his body craved for anything liquid and perhaps it was time to actually restore the equilibrium that he purposely punched repeatedly last night. His stay in the kitchen was short and he only offered a small wave and apology for intruding to Olivia and Ethan, the latter of whom he did not meet in person. Still, she seemed happy, and in turn, Marcus was content. After yesterday, it was actually gratifying to see her smile. If only she would do it more often. When his tea was ready, he poured it into a large mug and left the kitchen, wishing not to intrude on a private moment more than he should. What he wanted right now was a little spot that he noticed earlier. He climbed up the stairs in the yard and reached small hanging gardens. For this, he needed to push himself up a bit to properly climb them. The concrete was warm, and the view of the setting sun was <a class="link link--external" data-proxy-href="/proxy.php?link=https%3A%2F%2Fcdn.pixabay.com%2Fphoto%2F2020%2F08%2F28%2F11%2F10%2Focean-5524264_1280.jpg&amp;hash=7540d4214272d7d5e8e06cf831982f78" href="https://cdn.pixabay.com/photo/2020/08/28/11/10/ocean-5524264_1280.jpg" rel="nofollow ugc noopener" target="_blank">perfect</a>. It was a bit further away from the rest of the 'major plot', though he was anything but obscured. All one needed to do is look.<br/>
<br/>
A soft hum followed as he sipped his tea... now that his former partner was gone, does that mean that he has a bed all for himself? This made him think of Grace and uneasy start. He was perfectly aware of her preference and whom she liked, and in that regard, he had no intention of butting in. Still, he wished to at least be on better terms with her, rather than have them spend the remaining of the week avoiding each other. Maybe when she has the time. For now, he wondered if his invitation for Claire would be taken. It was placed, but he would not press on it... she would have to decide that for herself.​</div>
