Both:You don't know if they'd be up for it, but this is just your imagination, so why not? You three could end up in a polycule.##You imagine yourself getting together with both of them, Aubrey's long, slim fingers running over your back, your head resting against Émile's broad chest...
Both:... the two of them kissing each other, you slipping down on a kneeling pillow in front of the couch to give them some room, nuzzling up against their legs, making sure their drinks and snacks are always topped up...|Wait, hang on=17
Aubrey:A date with Aubrey would probably involve going to an art gallery. You could discuss the anatomy of the statues there, and that will naturally lead to he next thing.

Émile:Maybe you like big arms and broad chests, maybe you admire the courage of a man who goes out with a beard *that~ unfashionable. Either way, a date night with Émile should play into that.

Info:Well, maybe they're not really your type, or maybe you're just ace. But you appreciate their company all the same. Maybe you'll stay platonic friends after this? That would be nice. You could have a game night, make some garlic bread...
Info:... you making the garlic bread, that is, and setting up the games for them, and making sure everyone's having a good time, and keeping everyone topped up on snacks and drinks, and maybe they'll let you sit under the table and pet your ears, and...|Wait, hang on=17

CAT:Your tail and ears, of course.|I think my imagination's broken?=21
