Me: What’s Eissoi?
I pulled up his profile while I waited for a reply, anduh oh.Hello, sir. There was only one image of him, and it wasn’t like the carefully selected photos I’d seen on other profiles. He wasn’t smiling, and he certainly didn’t look nervous. Actually. This picture mademea little nervous. He was glaring, pointing at the camera like an angry politician scowling at the press after a scandal. Only Earth’s politicianswished, okay? For one thing, he was cut. For another, he was shirtless, wearing only loose black pants and no shoes. He seemed to be on the deck of a very sleek boat, if the blue waves stretching into the distance were any clue to go on. Bright sunlight (starlight? Oh, jeeze. I was going to call it sunlight, even if their star wasn’t the sun.) kissed his plummy purple skin and dark hair and illuminated a few tattoos that peeked over his shoulders and down one side, disappearing beneath his waistband. And dear god, the bright light backlit the outline of his powerful thighs and calves through his pants, and somethingelsethat had to be a trick ofshadow. No way was his dick that big. I tried to zoom in, but I couldn’t. I took a deep breath and dragged my eyes back up his body to his severe face instead. Why did he choose this picture? He looked like he was about to murder someone. And why was it so damned hot in my apartment?
Yiri Ahlon: Eissoi is where I live. The most beautiful coastal region in Bion 8KV. You’ll love it here.
Me: Hold on, Tiger. Take me to dinner first.
Yiri Ahlon: You’re calling me Tiger? I like what the translator is telling me about this beast. I am a Tiger.
Me: Ha ha. :) Here Tiger is a name we call kids who think they’re fierce.
Yiri Ahlon: You’re teasing me. Okay. But I am like a tiger. You’ll see.
Me: You seem confident. Are you sure this is your first time on BMM?
Yiri Ahlon: It’s my first time. I’m always confident.
Me: What makes you so sure I’m your future wife?
Yiri Ahlon: Your eyes.
Me: My eyes.
Not impressed. He was losing me.
Yiri Ahlon: Is it body art? You only have it in one image. The black points.
Was Amber Jade on BMM? She could make a killing here.
Me: It’s makeup. You’re not the first to notice.
Yiri Ahlon: I’m sure I’m not. I like it.
Me: I sent the other guy a tutorial on how to do it. You want it too?
Yiri Ahlon: No, thanks. I have enough body art already. I think mine is harder to take off than your makeup.
Me: Is body art like tattoos? I saw you have some in your picture.
Yiri Ahlon: Translation says tattoos are body art injected with metal tubes?
Me: Yep.
Yiri Ahlon: Body art here is applied with lasers.
Me: Does it hurt?
Yiri Ahlon: Yes.
Me: Not so different then. How much body art do you have?
Yiri Ahlon: Do you like body art? Tattoos?
Me: Mostly.
Yiri Ahlon: I can have it removed, but I currently have a lot.
Me: On your back? I can barely see it on your profile.
