<div align="center"><strong>Shawn Albert Pierce (http://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=84632.msg3724861#msg3724861) - Basement Auction | Speaking with Aline a Moment then Flirting with Matilda (Tilly)</strong></div><br/>As Matilda did her quick sound check, Shawn shifted his eyes slightly to see her; though he could not see perfectly well who the woman was from so far away. From where Shawn was now, he could see the red hair and a gown that flowed so beautifully down a curved figure. Though the woman was a pleasure to see, the glow of her hair did make the man in his white suit ponder just where Matilda might be.<br/><br/>Flatterer, indeed. Shawn would be a lier if he did not say he found Aline  interesting in some manners. Her art, however, was what most interested him; she did have a way about the camera and having his request, his first request, taken by the studio Waxing’s very own Aline Myobi put a higher price on the piece. Not that price mattered, it was the subject matter which had the point, as with always when it came to Shawn and his workings.<br/><br/>“I’m sure you have done-” Cut off, Matilda had approached and in an outfit most unusual. To say Shawn was caught by Matilda would be to say he was doing something he didn’t want her to hear. Perhaps the notion of her being his was a bit early but surely that isn’t exactly what he meant. Shawn gave a nod to Aline as she excused herself and then offered his full attentions to the beautiful red head who had approached him. How to play it off? Don’t play it off, play with it. ”I see you at my side, of course,” Shawn offered a bent arm for Matilda to grab and a soft smile, like a gentleman requesting a dance from the lady of the ball, “I must say it seems Aline’s work will be cut out for her when you win the contest, Mrs Rabbit.” A bliss to know the woman he’d seen was the one who’d already caught his eye, twice now she’d done this. “Should I only be lucky enough to witness or be your Roger in return.” Then Shawn decided to play it up, add a little comedy to the show and pull up a giggle from the woman, “But alas,” Slipping his cane under his arm like he’d done the day before then using his other hand to feign a tormented soul, “Lucifer can not know love.”<br/><br/><em>Lighthearted chuckle.</em><br/><br/>Aline began to make aware the beginning of the event, to which Shawn lightly laughed when appropriate and offered a small clap as well when he heard everything would begin in a short time, “Shall we get refreshed and then find a place to sit? Perhaps there will be something eye catching and worth a purchase?” The man paused a moment, “Though I’m sure you know I’m more here to see you and share a moment than acquire any artwork.”
