You: So I searched online for epiphyllums, but I didn't expect the search results to be...
You: "Top Ten Epiphyllum Recipes", "Best Way to Eat Epiphyllum", "How to Add Epiphyllum to Your Diet"...
Marius: You can eat epiphyllums!?
You: Yea, people say it's really good
Marius: Ok, now I'm curious.
You: I read about it online that it can help cure insomnia-related problems.
Marius: It sounds quite amazing.
Marius: How bout we... eat that pot of epiphyllum when it blooms...?
You: Now I want to try it...
You: No, no! We can't eat something that I nurtured for so long! No way! Absolutely not!
Marius: Haha, be honest with yourself!
Marius: Are you not interested in how it tastes at all?
You: Marius von Hagen! How dare you!
You: We can't eat something that took so much effort to nurture.
Marius: Haha, I'm just kidding. Relax.
Marius: But aren't you curious what it actually tastes like?
Marius: How bout this? I'll treat you to a "epiphyllum feast" next weekend.
You: Really? There are restaurants that specialize in cooking epiphyllums?
Marius: Yeah, I just found it.
You: Wow... I know what you're trying to do.
You: Alright, out with it. Where are you trying to take me now?
Marius: What? I'm genuinely asking you out for dinner!
Marius: There's a high end restaurant in the Central Business District that specializes in making innovative dishes with fresh flowers.
Marius: Come on! Let's go together!
You: *sigh* ok, ok. How's next Saturday?
Marius: I knew you wouldn't turn me down.
Marius: We have a deal then. No sudden overtime allowed. I'll pick you up on Saturday.
You: Erm, what if I have to work...
Marius: Then I'll have it to go and bring it over to your office personally.
Marius: Eating at your office would also be a great experience.
Marius: What did you think of the portrait last time?
You: You mean the ones you secretly drew of me?!
Marius: That sounded weird...
Marius: I was upfront about it!
You: Erm... which portraits are you talking about?
Marius: You forgot already?
Marius: The ones in the sketchbook!
Marius: So do you like them?
You: They're ok!
You: Though you didn't have my consent, they're ok.
Marius: Just "ok"?
Marius: Miss, your words wound me...
Marius: That won't do! I must make it right.
You: Of course, oh great Marius.
You: Of course! You drew me so well.
Marius: Really? I'm happy that you like it.
Marius: Since you like it, why don't you do me another favor?
Marius: The next assignment requires the drawing of a person. Why don't you come be my model for the weekend?
You: I can... but don't you have professional models for that?
You: I've never modeled before, so I might not be able to be as expressive as the others.
Marius: Don't worry. Leave the expressiveness to me.
Marius: You just need to be here.
Marius: Then I take it that you've agreed?
You: You aren't able to find a model for it?
You: Your artworks are highly sought after. Which girl would turn down chance to model for you?
Marius: That means, you won't turn me down then, right?
Marius: I'll take that as a yes then. You don't get to change your mind!
Marius: In return, I'll agree to any request you make. Is there anything you want?
You: I want one of your paintings.
You: You said anything, so you don't get to refuse!
Marius: Of course.
Marius: You can have as many as you'd like.
Marius: You are my source of inspiration after all!
You: Take me out for a big meal.
You: My meals are covered if I model for the whole day, right?
Marius: Of course, you are my source of inspiration.
Marius: I'll pick you up over the weekend. Then, we can go wherever you want to eat.
