Apologise frankly [Charm>=50%]

"I'm sorry," you say, simply and sincerely. "Gabrielle, I really like you, and not just because you're the most beautiful woman I've ever seen. And I couldn't care less who your mother is. I'm sorry that didn't come across, and I'm sorry that I did not treat you with the respect you deserve." Gabrielle's frown seems to soften a little, so you take a breath and continue. "I realise tonight was not a good date, and all I can do is apologise for that. I hope you can forgive me, and maybe give me a second chance."

"Well, I appreciate your honesty, Felix," says Gabrielle. "I accept your apology. But I'm sorry to say that I just don't think you're the right man for me, at least for the moment. Maybe after you've had some time to think about this, and I have too... I wouldn't rule out a second chance for us. Goodbye, Felix."

With that, she turns and continues back towards the university. The conversation is over, as are your chances with Gabrielle - for now. You head back to Lodge 69, reflecting on your mistakes and how to do better next time.
