[ good job, sebastian. get hung up on titles and not the fact that hawke's trying to convince you to stay nearly nude. but if hawke was honest (which she almost never is), she's mostly just bored and looking for entertainment and the thought of convincing this guy to keep to his scandalous bathing suit is pretty gosh darn funny! hawke causes chaos wherever she goes, apparently.

and the conclusion sebastian comes to pleases her well enough! hawke still finds herself quite baffled about the etiquette rules of the modern day but she's not above lying about them to confuse other people. one day hawke's just going to get herself banned from vivid if she keeps this up. ]

Ah, new, are you? You needn't worry in that you are right in your assumption! This type of dress is quite typical for here and actually fosters a bit of camaraderie between us perfect strangers after a while. I look foolish, you look foolish, so we look foolish together. Isn't that quite a lovely idea?

[ hawke, shut up. ]

My name is Hawke, by the way. And it is very lovely to meet you even while dressed like complete idiots.
