Fai and a friend it seems like? Or rather, I believe Fai's friend is the main host, but the two of them will decide the costumes of unimaginative participants together.
Well, I'm not sure whether it's quite the word I'd use for myself, but I'm certainly fresh out of costumes. So unless you've got any suggestions I suppose I'll be putting my fate in the hands of our hosts.
That is, I'm assuming you're telling me about this party because you're planning on attending.
[ Is it a bad idea? Will he actually have fun? Laurent can't decide. He'd thought at first it might be fun purely to see Faolan squirm, but now Laurent isn't sure if that play is worth everything else. ]
[Faolan thinks back to the beginning of this conversation. When Laurent asks him how he feels about parties, and now to the fact that Laurent hasn't decided whether to attend. Is he... Actually asking for his opinion on this?]
Ah. Well. I suppose that depends on whether you are asking for my input on a personal or professional level.
[Not that he's all that certain how different the two are, in the end. He doesn't like parties, but he can withstand things he doesn't like. There are many other things he doesn't like, but he'll put up because he must.]
Well. I think it's probably no surprise to hear that I'm not really one for parties these days. Especially not anything involving costumes. But that's not really my decision.
As far as my professional opinion is concerned... It's an open invitation? Do you know who else will be in attendance? Do you know what sort of people Fai and this other host associate themselves with?
[There is a pause before Laurent gets a response to this one. Faolan knows he needs to choose his words carefully. Honestly, he's pretty sure Laurent already knows his answer. That he's just provoking him.]
Should it?
[A beat. He knows that much is a cop out, but it takes him a second to offer another text.]
Look, I. Don't think you really need me to say anything to know my answer, there.
[Well technically you were fishing before, but what for Faolan cannot say for certain. It couldn't really have been his opinion. Could it...?]
No. You've made it quite clear to me in the past that you mean every choice that you make. I doubt you'll need any input from me to make up your mind.
But for what it's worth. If you do choose to go, I'm certain that your pick of costume will be equally as well-chosen. You don't need my help to look good. You never do.
[Don't mind him, he'll just be wishing he could delete a text message that he's already sent.]

[Would it be wrong to let them choose for him? Faolan's never been very good at this sort of thing.]

And they're both rich drag queens.
[ So, you know. They associate with... many types of people. ]
no subject
Though Faolan's train of thought is momentarily derailed at that second piece of information. Well. That...explains the costume choice, he supposes.]
I would be more comfortable if it were a more intimate affair.
[You know, relatively speaking, he's not suggesting that he'd rather be more intimate with drag queens exactly...]

Is this an honest question or are you being deliberately obtuse at my expense?

Though I don't seem to be doing a very good job of that either.

Well I haven't purchased anything yet regardless, since I have yet to decide if I'm going. If I'm dissuaded from going I suppose I won't buy one.
no subject
Are you suggesting that you'd like convincing, then?

[ He just meant it honestly. If he doesn't go to this party he has no reason to buy a costume. ]
