“Unfortunately, a gargoyle of stone for quite some time, darling.” He answers easily, though it might ring a bell for any conversations Hotaru has had in the past with the Theocrat of the Grounds (if it had even come up before the clothes had come off, but that’s another story). The grin is still aimed at her and seems to silently say would you like to bet?
Ah, but then she says the one of the most beautiful things he hasn’t heard in some time. A wager. A deal.
And the Butcher of Whitebrim perks immediately despite the way she disconnects their touch, allowing him a moment to straighten back up, fix the cuffs and lapels adorning his frame. “A deal, mm?” He considers her for a moment. “I’m afraid I’m not quite at my best at the moment – a shame, I know – but perchance you may be up for a spar and then, regardless of the outcome, grant me your company for what I have truly come here for?” Not that he was complaining about her being here at all, but distractions were distractions, no matter how stunning they may be.
As if expecting the answer, that very same hand outstretches to allow her the chance to accept the deal, all while he bends just a fraction toward her in even further expectation.
