Summary; A double-date nobody really wanted to have.
Log;

There was no real reason for this, and everybody knew so much. The only reaons this arrangement had been made to begin with was a jealous Puppetmaster and a greedy homunculus dating said Puppetmaster's girlfriend or crush or true love - Radu had stopped caring which of these exactly the Terran girl was for him. It didn't really matter anyway; what mattered was that Radu had to appear to a date well-dressed, happy, and... in love with a madman. In love with a psychopath. A man. His superior. Dietrich von Lohengrin, the Rosencreutz Orden's Puppetmaster - Marionettenspieler. The only thing that could make it even worse was the humiliation of the public request he had been forced to make. At least thanks to the deactivation of his Bacillus, he would be able to render himself drunk far more quickly, and so had a chance to emotionally survive this evening.

There was not so much that could go wrong anyway, Radu thought when he closed the door of his flat behind him. Ion at least knew what this was about in truth, and this was the most important thing, because Radu had no desire whatsoever to have to explain him why he was going on a date with the emissary of the Duke of Tigris. The Methuselah lifted his hand and after a second of hesitation, knocked on the door to the flat that two of the three people responsible for this catastrophe shared; Dietrich and Esther, his date for this evening, and the latter's unrequited love.

The situation was perverse in a sense, but there was only so much that could go wrong. It was only for this evening after all. Or at least, Radu tried to convince himself of that while waiting for somebody to open the door.

Her gaze shifted uneasily between the three men, she was not all certain how she needs to act. While she has nothing against the vam- Radu (she really needed to change her mindset), it was still a little disturbing to her that he asked Dietrich out on a date, though she gathered from her conversation with Greed that it was just an excuse.

She looked at the proffered hand for a moment before taking it, giving Greed a smile, “Thank you.” Esther hoped that she did not look as awkward as she felt inside. If she could handle fighting and infiltration. What is a date to her? It is not a big deal, it is not big deal.

Tell yourself that long enough and you may just believe it.

She watched the conversation between the three. Greed is right, the atmosphere is tense. “Let us go before we are late,” Esther said, interrupting.
