Nick Grange
Nick struggled slightly to maintain a casual composure as Dolly smiled, having to resist the urge to just melt at her adorable doe-eyed face. He couldn't help it as his smile grew a little wider and he lost himself to thought for a moment or two, tuning in just in time to hear Dolly ask him if he wanted anything. 'Well, I'd very much like for you to reciprocate my feelings, that would be nice.' Nick desperately wanted to just voice his thoughts so they'd be out in the open, and maybe if it was anyone else besides Dolly he might. But she'd always been so bright and sunshiny around him, Nick felt the need to hide his bitter comments on anything.
It took him a second to think up some sort of response that wouldn't make him sound like a complete idiot in front of her, "I mean I don't need anything technically, besides you know someone to talk to, cause Daisy's out of commission at the moment and uh, oh Charlie's sleeping, huh, you think I would have noticed that." He was blabbering, 'Crap, very rough start, just wrap it up.' he thought to himself, "So, I overheard something about a gala? You gotta go to those kinds of events right?" He questioned. Nick had been itching to ask Dolly about the Gala for sometime now, he'd overheard/ eavesdropped on some nurses' conversation. They hadn't provided much information about it besides there was a formal dress code and that they needed dates. Nick figured that Dolly wouldn't ask him to be her date but a guy could dream.
Nick must have been a little too keen on listening for Dolly's response because he didn't even notice Cato until he spoke. Ah, Cato, the guy that Dolly actually liked, not that Nick would let that little detail effect their friendship. He gave his friend a wide grin, "Sure, what do you need? Got any tech questions?" Nick loved helping out when he could, especially when there was a possibility of getting to fix up a device.
