<br/><div class="floatleft">(https://i.imgur.com/9EuNIEX.jpg?1)</div><strong>Name:</strong>Owen Christopher (https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=308599.msg15002076#msg15002076)<br/><strong>Age:</strong>32<br/><strong>Sexuality:</strong>Heterosexual<br/><strong>Hometown:</strong>Hamilton, NZ<br/><strong>Date/Time:</strong>3 July, 2019 | Late Morning/Early Afternoon<br/><strong>Location:</strong>Villa Outdoor Beds<br/><strong>Wearing:</strong>Pictured<br/><strong>Coupled with:</strong>Cassie<br/><strong>Tagging:</strong>Elsa<br/><hr/><br/>Owen laughed softly at the lighthearted joke and then grinned at Elsa’s mild embarrassment with it. Rather chastely, he decided that one didn’t need a response. He did appreciate that she was able to have a bit of a sense of humor with the offer, up to and including affording him the ability to come to her gym and introduce her to folks.<br/><br/><em>Seems like maybe she’s trying to artfully pawn you off here, chief. Keep an eye on that</em>, he noted to himself.<br/><br/>“Well, I’d be careful about how much you indulge. Some of the stuff here is so far beyond our control that I worry you could put yourself into a bit of sugar shock,” he said with a smirk.<strong> “But, really, I imagine that it’s hard coming off your situation and coming into this one and being able to process it all. I know I couldn’t do it.” </strong><br/><br/>Owen shrugged. He was getting an appreciation for Elsa the person, not just the blonde, fit bit of eye candy. Then he signed. He really wasn’t sure what was going on with Cassie, or how to contextualize it. It wasn’t that they weren’t getting along, or hadn’t enjoyed their conversations thus far. They just hadn’t seemed to spark the way he thought they might. And, he didn’t know Cassie’s feelings on the subject, either.<br/><br/>That made answering the question a bit difficult. He decided to play it off best he could. For all he knew, Elsa’s little joke about pairing up with Cassie might have a sliver of truth behind it.<strong>“You know, I think it’s okay, given the circumstances. I’d hope we have a little more time to chat and get to know each other, but I fear there’s another decision or competition coming our way before that can happen. You know?”</strong>He huffed, then grinned a little,<strong>“But, who knows, next time around, she might prefer you after spending a few days with me.” </strong><br/><br/>His eyes couldn’t help but follow her curves as she laid back on the bed.<strong>“Trust me, I hear that. Seems like the whole thing is designed to shock the system.” </strong>He looked across at her, noting that they’d worked through the candy.<strong>“Looks like we cleaned out your first haul. You want to grab some more? Or would you like a little bit of space? I totally get it if that’s what you want.”</strong><br/>
