Marcus inclined his head, keeping his smile as friendly as possible without causing any misunderstood messages. The tension has been alleviated, and as the chatting among couples continued, so did Marcus' interest rise. Perhaps he was wrong to believe that it will be a wolf-eat-wolf kind of competition, though he could not exclude this possibility. After all, the first impression often lies... and people can be outstanding actors. Still, he said to himself that he would leave these thoughts for another day, and lingering further on them would not benefit him.<br/>
<br/>
He turned once Arisa called for him, showing the message displayed upon the screen. Slave to the technology as he was, the first thing that he noticed was the phone itself. The design was rather unique, nothing that he had seen among more famed developing companies... it must have been custom-designed, created to avoid any sort of outside interfering while making sure that those who use it do not temper with it. Clever... and not at all cheap. He was curious about the software itself as it resembled something he had to do during his student years - a project to make a code that does not condone external tempering. If only he could actually take a look at it, though he was wise enough not to pry where he shouldn't, lest he be asked to leave. This moment of his adoration for the phone itself would not last more than a few heartbeats before his attention was brought to the message. He rose his eyebrow at the message, reading and re-reading it as if it was a puzzle to be solved <span class="fixed-color" style="color:rgb(84, 172, 210)">"They do not waste time, do they? I have not watched the show before, is this something that is normal, or is it a new addition to it?"</span><br/>
<br/>
Then, he snapped out of his little starring contest with the phone before looking back at Olivia <span class="fixed-color" style="color:rgb(84, 172, 210)">"Entschuldigung Sie bitte (my apologies)... That was rude of me. It is a pleasure to meet you, miss Olivia."</span> He offered another polite nod before looking again toward Arisa. This time, it was his time to be amused at her attitude. She seemed to be in a good mood and quite eager to spread that feeling toward the others while grabbing his attention. Marcus presumed, and quite rightly so it would seem, that in the coming days this trend will continue, with a constant battle for attention on both his and her side. Still, he found it endearing.<br/>
<br/>
<span class="fixed-color" style="color:rgb(84, 172, 210)">"Danke! (Thanks)" </span><span class="fixed-color" style="color:rgb(230, 230, 230)">Marcus responded to Victor, shaking the man's hand, trying to match the squeeze as a show of respect</span><span class="fixed-color" style="color:rgb(84, 172, 210)"> "I must say you did the same, snatching quite a beautiful Fräulein (Miss) for yourself."</span> A light chuckle concluded his thought. After the debacle with his previous group of 'colleagues', it was rather relaxing to enjoy the company of people who didn't have immediate thoughts of abusing his trust and exploiting his skills. The hope was that this little peaceful moment would last, just for a little bit longer.<br/>
<br/>
What did surprised him, though not overly much, were the comments that girls gave when chatting amongst each other. It took him a few seconds to refocus his attention and pick up each conversation individually, but he did catch something strange, something... refreshing? <span class="fixed-color" style="color:rgb(84, 172, 210)">"I noticed that a few girls here are interested in both men and women,"</span> Marcus commented <span class="fixed-color" style="color:rgb(84, 172, 210)">"Is it common? I must be honest, I haven't met many people who had open views of love. Where I come from, the community that my parents come from, it is still common to make arranged marriages, though it is all kept unofficial and under the radar, as they say. There are certain 'expectations' that are placed upon young people, expectations of success which is... often measured in family and offsprings. That, and we had a slight increase in the intolerance... So I am surprised, pleasantly so, to meet so many people who keep their interests open."</span><br/>
<br/>
He looked once more toward Arisa, moving his arm around her while the other hand grasped his still half-full glass of lager and rose it <span class="fixed-color" style="color:rgb(84, 172, 210)">"A toast then? To meeting new people!"</span>​</div>
