// object of desire //
These are all conversations that Thorn has had before - part of his job, at least. For those looking and seeking for ways to make it work before diving fully in or just a figurative rite of passage to losing their virginities, the courtesan never offers judgement. So instead, he opts for soothing, of seeing the vibrant red that blooms across Zavien’s face and offering a softer smile. He lets him answer, patiently waiting as the good friend that he is, even if the dragoon laughs a little lightly.
So he nods when the goal is verbalized - and it’s a good goal to have. It’s what everyone should want for their partners, as far as Thorn’s concerned, even if he didn’t have a partner of his own. But it’s the blank look that follows and the flare of embarrassment that blooms that Thorn’s smile curves a bit brighter, more soothing, his fingers drawing more relaxing designs to distract him from the otherwise uncomfortable topic.
“It matters ‘cause if you know what you like, y’can apply similar logic to what she’s gonna like.” He admits, head tilting slightly as he regards Zavien and thinks about it a little longer. “D’ya know if she’s done it before? She might be able t'tell ya what she likes, too.” He suggests, reiterating the communication factor.
