Unfortunately, Darius didn't quite have the same luxury of time to allow him extensive primping time. Though, honestly, even if he had been allowed such, the white mage might not have fully known what to do with it aside from sit around, letting his leg bounce up and down nervously.
Thankfully, the former would not be the case this eve at the very least. He'd had a shift until 9:15pm and then barely had enough time to sprint between the clinic he was stationed at this evening to the mages tower. Putting himself through some quick grooming to assure he wasn't completely unpresentable, a spritz of cologne, and a change of clothing and he was out the door again. It left him with a bit of scruff admittedly, but thankfully, he kept up his own grooming well enough that it would only take a bit to assure he was ready to go once again. Well, outside of the massive quantity of caffeine he had to pump into his system to assure he'd stay awake for.... Whatever Audrey would like his magic hands and holy rod for, he wanted to be sure he was able to give her. Hey, it wasn't every day that a pretty girl so obviously - at least he thought - propositioned Mr. Messed Up Mouth. Maybe tonight he'd get lucky. That would be pretty great assuming he didn't fuck it up before even getting out the door of Puzzles.
With that, another quick jaunt to the tavern landed him there with barely any time to spare. 9:59pm he found himself quickly stalking up to the door in a pair of well pressed slacks, polished shoes and dress shirt and... Wait.
He was still at least a dozen feet out, but was that....
"Audrey...?" Yup, that seemed to be her but... He really wasn't used to her looking like that. "Hey." He jogged up to the door, pulling it open for her more to move in. "You look great, I barely recognized you." The stupid grin plastered across his face couldn't be hidden even if he tried.
