A wet miserable day does not mean that one must sacrifice one's style. Using a perfectly sturdy - though colorful - umbrella to keep the worse of the rain off of him, Alan Loveless, costume designer and finest Gothic dresser in all of Locke City, had boarded the bus with a delicate sniff and made his way to the back where he sat impatiently awaiting his stop. He was suppose to have met a fellow designer and lover of all things Gothic but the weather turned from slightly misty to sudden torrent, thus calling the event off. And since he had not thought about driving, he was stuck with the public transit system.

So when the big guy with the strange contraption took a seat next to him, Alan just to raise one perfectly tamed eyebrow in slight fascination. He may not look like it, but he certainly knew quality work when he saw it, and that crossbow is one of them.

"Pardon me, but where did you find such a beautiful piece of machinery?" Yes, he has fangs when he talks.

...fangs. Of course the guy setting next to him as fangs, and of course he looks as though he might as well be at that damn Renaissance Faire. Or close enough, anyway.

And of course he asks the one question that Varric doesn't have an answer for. All right, well, no, there's a lot of questions that Varric doesn't have an answer for, but this is the most pressing one at the moment. Mainly because it's the one being asked of him.

"This little beauty? A friend of mine invented her."

As soon as it's out, he realizes - he's pretty sure it's not actually a lie.

"Oh? Well, I must say that your friend has a wonderful eye for details."

He was immune to the looks people gave him ever since he started dressing like this back when he was still in high school. The teeth were a new addition, but again he did not think much about how it made him appear so long as he did not lisp while he talked. It was horrible enough as it was being a designer without having someone make fun of - horror of horrors - a fanglisp.

"I don't think I've seen many even from the Faire that have such lovely filigree work on the shaft."
