liars and lovers combine tonight, we're gonna make a scene
"Oh, I do apologise," Neron says, pressing a hand to his chest as if to properly beg her pardon. "Though I will say that it's refreshing to hear as much. From what I got to see of Caido, it really didn't matter to all that many people. As someone who used to be a duke, it was quite an unpleasant wake-up call." And as she continues, he can't help but to raise his eyebrows.
"I didn't realise it was ever our bar," he says, laughing. "I assumed you would be far too busy being queen and running the bar on this end to have time to skip through the veil between life and death to check my taxes. Not that I am complaining in the least if you want to come and see me more."
Watching as she casually drains the rest of her wine from her glass, Neron promises himself he won't follow suit, but as Flora continues to prod at his list of dirty desires, the drink finds its way back to his lips all the same. "Perhaps after another glass of this, my lips will be loose enough to consider telling you," he purrs, setting the empty glass down and glancing back to the dessert menu, already feeling thoroughly warm and relaxed in a way he hasn't in many years.
"I was hoping you'd say that," he admits about the sundae, smiling toward a server to beckon them over. "One of these to share?" He glances to Flora to confirm. "And another glass of wine for each of us?"
