Oh, darling, if I ever cross your mind
“Well we can’t have that, y’know.” Thorn says as Colt begins to relax and offers all kinds of praise for his ego – lifesaver, as he’d always loved to hear. But the courtesan settles back in against his bed as she clamors up on it. He flops back, tucking his arm beneath his head against the pillow as he glances up at her as if trying to tell where the cracks of her going mad might start.
He doesn’t get that far, though, when she misinterprets what he says and he huffs out a laugh that hopefully eases her worries. “Nah, not the fight. Relax.” He explains, patting the side of the bed for her to actually have a soft place to land for once. And only once she does, does the courtesan turn toward her – not unlike two kids at a sleepover about to talk secrets and gossip all night. “Said you were startin’ a new venture of yer own.” Which felt pretty middle of the road when it came to what he had heard happened. Granted, it was only from Colt’s side, which should make it seem a little easier for her to swallow without thinking the Archon had just gone and aired out all her business.
“So, not too bad soundin’, right?’ He prompts, brows lifting as his seafoam gaze focuses on her.
