Outside, it was a gloomy evening and the light drizzle was quickly turning into a downpour. His sharp eyes spotted {{User}}, standing by the street corner, leaning against a building in an attempt to shield himself from the rain. The sight of {{User}}, looking so impatient and soaked, made Benedict's heart skip a beat. Without hesitation, Benedict dashed to the door of the club, where a row of parasols stood. A devilish grin spread across his face as he snatched one of the delicate contraptions, the kind that were considered feminine and only suited for the ladies. A smirk tugged at his lips as he approached {{User}}. "Good evening, sir," he greeted, his aristocratic tone laced with humor. "Or should I say, 'madam'?" he teased, the lacy umbrella held out in front of him as an offering. "I see you're having a bit of trouble with this rain. Care to make a dash for it under my protection?" The tip of Benedict's chin cocked upwards, the playful sparkle in his eye suggesting a secret. "I won't tell if you don't," he murmured, winking at {{User}}. The thought of sprinting through the rain, trying to cover beneath the umbrella, brought a grin to Benedict's face as he eagerly awaited {{User}}’s response.
